Cytogenetics is a technology that studies the structure and function of a cell (chromosome) and gene abnormalities in a disease. Molecular cytogenetics is a combination of molecular biology and cytogenetics.
Statistics:
The global molecular cytogenetics market is estimated to account for US$ 11,129.1 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2027.
Global Molecular Cytogenetics Market: Drivers
Increasing adoption of molecular cytogenetics is expected to propel growth of the global molecular cytogenetics market over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2019, Bionano Genomics, Inc. announced that leading organizations, including PerkinElmer Genomics and the University of Iowa, have adopted Saphyr for use in their clinical genomics laboratories.
Moreover, increasing prevalence of cancer is also expected to boost adoption of molecular cytogenetics. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2019, there will be an estimated 1,762,450 new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the U.S.
Statistics:
North America held dominant position in the global molecular cytogenetics market in 2019, accounting for 45.7% share in terms of value, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively.

Global Molecular Cytogenetics Market: Opportunities
Tapping in emerging economies is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global molecular cytogenetics market. FISH and array based technologies have high penetration rate in developed economies such as the U.S and Europe owing to high level of public awareness and adoption rate. However, emerging Asian and Latin American economies have low adoption rate owing to low patient awareness levels. Economic developments in these regions coupled with rising disposable income of patients and increasing awareness are shifting the attention of medical practitioners towards molecular tests.
Moreover, rising incidence of cancer and genetic disorders in emerging economies is also expected to boost demand for molecular cytogenetic technologies in these regions. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, the number of new cancer cases diagnosed per year in Africa is expected to grow from over 1 million in 2018 to over 2.1 million in 2040.
Statistics:
The global molecular cytogenetics market was valued at US$ 1,970.8 Mn in 2019 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 11,129.1 Mn by 2027 at a CAGR of 24.2% between 2020 and 2027.
