Global biochip market was valued at USD11694.24 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD23890.58 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 12.52% in the next five years. The global biochip market is driven by the growing prevalence of various chronic and infectious diseases especially in the geriatric population who are more susceptible to these diseases on account of low immunity. This has led to the increase in demand for personalized medicine solutions or targeted therapies especially for diagnosis and treatment of diseases like cancer. This in turn is expected to positively influence the market growth over the next few years. Additionally, increasing R&D activities and supportive government policies further propels the market. However, the high cost of biochips can hamper market growth. Moreover, lack of awareness, especially in the developing and underdeveloped countries, further impedes the market growth.

The global biochip market is segmented based on technology, type, application, end user, company, and region. Based on technology, the market can be bifurcated into microarray and microfluidics. The microarray technology dominated the market in 2020 with a share of around 60.22% and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period also. This can be attributed to the extensive use of biochips in forensic analysis and identification of drug candidates in the drug discovery process. While the microfluidics technology is expected to witness significant growth over the next few years on account of the increasing use of point of care diagnostic devices such as pregnancy kits, cardiac makers, and blood gases, among others. Based on type, the market can be categorized into DNA Chips, Lab-On-a-Chips, Protein Chips and others. The DNA chips segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the widespread adoption of DNA chips. Additionally, growing expenditure related to genomics and next-generation sequencing along with rising demand for detection and diagnosis of genetic disorders is further expected to support the market growth.

Regionally, North America represented a major share of the global market and is anticipated to continue its dominance in the forecast period. This is directly related to a rise in cancer incidence in the region. In 2020, cancers such as, prostate, lung, and colorectal accounted for approximately 43% of all cancers diagnosed in men. In case of women, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers are the most common cancers and they account for an estimated 50% of all new cancer diagnosed in women in the year 2020. Additionally, growing burden of different diseases is further expected to fuel the market growth.
