The global transfection technologies market size reached USD 1,258.9 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2,338.7 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during 2025-2033.
Transfection technology refers to the process of artificially introducing nucleic acid, such as Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) and oligonucleotides, into the cells. It is introduced using various physical, chemical and biological methods, which can assist in modifying certain properties of the cell. It involves various methods, including cotransfection, electroporation, cationic lipid transfection and in-vivo transfection. This process is commonly used for various genomic studies that include gene expression, screening, RNA interference and Vivo research, along with the bioproduction of viruses and proteins.
The increasing prevalence of cancer and various chronic lifestyle diseases is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, widespread adoption of reagent-based methods is also providing a boost to the market growth. In comparison to the traditionally used techniques, reagent-based transfection is less complicated to administer and more cost-effective. In line with this, instrument-based methods, such as biolistic technology, microinjection and laserfection, are also gaining immense traction across the globe. Various technological advancements in cell research and therapeutic discovery are acting as another major growth-inducing factor. In line with this, research in gene transfer is majorly performed under in-vivo conditions for the development of novel therapeutic drugs and various other applications. Other factors, including increasing investments by both government and private organizations to develop large scale transfection facilities, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities in the field of protein therapeutics, are projected to drive the market further.
