Growth in the sector is anchored by the widespread adoption of automated, portable PCR platforms, which have become standard in diagnostic laboratories and clinical settings. These tools offer high sensitivity and specificity for identifying viral and bacterial infections, including HIV, hepatitis, and tuberculosis. While instruments remain a critical component of the infrastructure, reagents and consumables continue to command the largest market share—accounting for 65% of the total in 2025—due to their recurring necessity in daily diagnostic and research workflows.
