Biochips Market size was valued at USD 10.44 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 60.13 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 14.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of biochips is estimated at USD 11.64 billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing occurrence of immunodeficiency disorders among people throughout the world. For instance, more than 7 million persons worldwide were suffering from primary immunodeficiencies by 2021, with around 75 to 93% remaining untreated. Further, there are around 430 different primary immunodeficiencies or primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) that have been discovered to date. Further, the rapidly rising adoption of biochips in various research fields, such as genomics, drug discovery, proteomics, and so on is also estimated to fuel the market growth of the global biochips market throughout the forecast period.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of biochips include the rise in the need to develop novel vaccines through extensive medical research, backed by amplified funding in medical R&D activities across the globe. For instance, in 2019, the pharmaceutical industry in the United States invested more than USD 85 billion in research and development activities. These costs covered a wide range of operations, including medication research and testing, incremental enhancements including product expansions, and medical studies for safety monitoring. Additionally, increasing advances in the Lab-on-a-chip offerings along with the biomedical progression for microfluidic-based devices are also predicted to present the potential for market expansion over the projected period.
Growth Drivers
Worldwide Growing Prevalence of Cancer – Cancer occurs when some of the body's cells grow out of control and spread to other bodily areas. Cancer can develop practically anywhere in the body, which contains trillions of cells. When this regulated mechanism fails, aberrant or defective cells expand and reproduce when they should not. These cells can conjoin to generate tumors, which are tissue masses. Tumors may or may not be cancerous. Cancer is one of the greatest causes of death globally. But, now the survival ratio of various kinds of cancer patients has been improving owing to the advancement and surging development in cancer prevention and treatment. Hence, the upsurge in cancer cases is estimated to spur the growth of the market throughout the forecast period. As per the statistics of the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death throughout the world. In addition, it was responsible for about one out of every six deaths which denotes around 10 million deaths in 2020 across the globe.
Rising Proportion of Communicable Disorders - Communicable diseases, often known as infectious diseases, are disorders caused by the infection, existence, and proliferation of pathogenic biologic agents in a single human or other infected animals. Infections can be severe to fatal, hence the increasing proportion of communicable disorders is anticipated to propel the market growth. For instance, the number of visits to medical offices in the United States for infectious and parasitic diseases soared to over 10 million in 2019.
Worldwide Increasing Health Spending – According to the most recent expenditure data, worldwide health spending has flourished over the former 20 years, doubling in real terms to an extent of USD 8.5 trillion in 2019 and 9.8% of GDP, up from 8.5 percent in 2000. It is predicted that this surge would persist over the forecast period.
An Upsurge in the Development and Approval of Novel Drugs – The requirement for novel drug development has been soaring in the past two decades. This growth is owing to the proliferating deployment of novel drug delivery systems throughout the world, which is further fueling the approval of these drugs. For instance, by 2022, the clinical drug development success rate has risen by nearly 12% to 16%. Moreover, in the United States, a record of around 60 novel drugs was authorized in 2018, thus, the total number of novel drugs approved for sale expanded by 62% between 2010 and 2019 in comparison to the previous decade.
Rise in the Development of Novel Lab-on-a-Chip Kit - A lab-on-a-chip is a compact device that combines one or more laboratory-based studies, such as DNA sequencing or biochemical detection, on a single chip. Medical diagnostics, DNA analysis, and other applications are the key points of lab-on-a-chip research and development. Thus, the surging development of novel lab-on-a-chip (LOC) kits is also projected to spur market growth in the coming years. For instance, the University of California, Irvine's electrical engineers, and biomedical engineers have developed a novel lab-on-a-chip that can assist in the research of tumor heterogeneity in terms of lowering resistance to cancer therapies.
