Capillary Electrophoresis Market - Historic Data (2019-2024), Global Trends 2025, Growth Forecasts 2037
Capillary Electrophoresis Market in 2025 is estimated at USD 1.18 billion. The global market size was valued at over USD 1.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5.7%, surpassing USD 2.32 billion by 2037. North America is projected to attain USD 812.00 million by 2037, led by increased R&D spending and rising demand in biosciences.
The reason behind the growth is impelled by the rising prevalence of cancer across the globe. Lately, cancer is the third biggest cause of mortality, and the risk factors for cancer include tobacco use, alcohol use, poor diet, inactivity, and air pollution. This has significantly driven market growth.
Capillary electrophoresis -based nucleic acid detection is applied to diagnose cancer and is also used in DNA analysis to identify variations in rectal cancer. According to estimates, more than 27 million new instances of cancer and more than 16 million cancer-related deaths are anticipated to raise the worldwide burden of cancer by 2040.
The rising demand in biotechnology are believed to fuel the market growth. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a flexible micro/microanalytical technique that has established itself as the main application platform in the field of biotechnology for the separation of DNA and chromosomes to facilitate advancements in genomics and molecular biology.

Capillary Electrophoresis Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Incidence of Infectious Diseases – It is expected that infectious disease incidence is on the rise as a result of shifting weather patterns and mass population movements, which is anticipated to drive market growth.
Moreover, owing to its advantages of high efficiency, high throughput, and high speed, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a potent technology for the rapid diagnosis of human infectious diseases, which would be essential for the timely treatment and prevention. - Growing Demand for Personalized Medicine- Rising scientific advancements and increased public awareness of the use of personalized medicine therapy, have significantly driven market growth.
