Global Epigenetics Market Overview

Epigenetics Market Size was valued at USD2.85 Billion in 2023. 

The Global Epigenetics industry is projected to grow from USD 3.011 Billion in 2024 to USD 5.34 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.34 % during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function not involving changes in the DNA sequence such as changes in a chromosome, phenotypic affecting gene activity and expression. The sources of heritable changes may be external from environmental factors, or internal factors such as age, disease and others. Examples of Epigenetics are DNA methylation and histone modification, which alters genes expression without altering the DNA sequence.

The drivers of epigenetics market are growing risk factors and the associated increase in cases of cancer, increase in the R&D activities, developing pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors, application expanse of epigenetics and others. The development of high sensitive and selective tests, instrumentation and a concurrent rise in computational power is driving a massive adoption. The advancements such as the development of DNA and RNA modifying enzymes such as acetylases, methyltransferases, reverse transcriptase, ligases, and other protein-modifying enzymes has generated tremendous enthusiasm and concurrent faster market adoption.

The growing government support for biotechnology and growing partnership between academia and industry is another driver of growth. Attractive and critical advantages of technology exemplified by high-throughput molecular analysis of tissues, such as quick, cost-effective, efficient for less labor intensive and requires a lesser number of steps are the operational and economic driving factors of the epigenetics market. Other technological developments include automation, advances in PCR technology, strategic and cross-functional nature of the molecular diagnostic technology and others.

High growth of biotech and growing number of start-ups are driving the development of proprietary technology. According to national venture capital association, the Biotechnology industry received the second largest amount of venture capital for the year 2016 and ended with a 17% rise in dollars as compared with the previous year.

The prime market constraints include prohibitive costs of molecular diagnostics, ha high cost of manufacturing, consolidated nature of the market has put a premium on the price other f the epigenetics products, nascent stage of technology and high power of firms relative to buyers.
