Molecular Diagnostics Market Forecast 2025-2034
Molecular diagnostics emerged in the late-20th century alongside foundational breakthroughs such as the Human Genome Project and the invention of PCR, which enabled sensitive detection of genetic mutations and pathogens and marked the transition from laboratory research to clinical diagnostics. In 1985 Kary Mullis published PCR, and by the early 1990s molecular testing for infectious diseases and inherited disorders became routine in hospitals and public health settings.
