Electrophoresis Equipment Market

Electrophoresis Equipment Market Size:

The global electrophoresis equipment market size reached USD 2.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.37% during 2025-2033. The ongoing advancements in biotechnology, increased demand for personalized medicine, rising prevalence of genetic disorders, growing research activities, and expanding product applications in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and academic research institutions globally are some of the key factors supporting the market trends.

Electrophoresis equipment is a laboratory tool used to separate or purify molecules based on charge, size, and binding affinity. It is widely used to analyze large molecules, such as nucleic acids, plasmids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), proteins, and fragments of these macromolecules by passing an electric current from end to end. Electrophoresis equipment is manufactured using an electrophoretic chamber which consists of a hard plastic box or tank with a cathode at one end and an anode at the opposite end. It is used in various applications, including vaccines, antibody analysis, hemoglobinopathies, and drug quality control. As a result, electrophoresis equipment finds extensive applications in forensic investigation, molecular biology, genetics, and microbiological labs to identify source DNA and manipulate protein molecules.
