Report Code : CVMI2603252601529 | Published Date : March 30, 2025
1 | Market Overview
The global array instruments market plays a vital role in genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, disease diagnostics, and personalized medicine. These instruments—used to analyze biological samples via high-throughput detection of DNA, RNA, proteins, or metabolites—are indispensable in research and clinical labs for understanding disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and screening potential drug targets. Key instruments include DNA microarray scanners, protein arrays, lab-on-chip systems, and biochip analyzers.
The market has evolved from basic gene expression studies to multiparametric tools capable of integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic information into a single assay. Factors contributing to this growth include the rise of precision medicine, the expansion of cancer biomarker programs, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, and technological advancements in miniaturization and automation, which are accelerating adoption across developed and emerging markets.
