Global RNA analysis market is driven by precision medicine, rising disease prevalence, and advanced sequencing tech, reaching USD 19.03 billion by 2034.
NY, UNITED STATES, February 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The RNA analysis market was valued at USD 9.64 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 10.43 billion in 2026 to USD 19.03 billion by 2034, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.80% during the forecast period.
The global RNA analysis market represents a rapidly expanding segment of life sciences and molecular diagnostics, driven by the growing need to understand gene expression, regulation, and cellular functions at the RNA level. RNA analysis refers to technologies and workflows used to detect, quantify, sequence, and characterize various RNA molecules—including messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA, and other transcript types—to support research, clinical diagnostics, and therapeutic development.
This growth is largely propelled by the increasing adoption of RNA analysis in precision medicine, oncology genomics, infectious disease research, genetic disease profiling, and drug discovery. Early detection of diseases through RNA-based diagnostics enables tailored treatment plans, enhancing therapeutic outcomes and reducing adverse effects. Investments in advanced sequencing platforms and growing R&D activities in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors also contribute to the market’s expansion.
