The global biochips market was valued at USD 8.02 billion in 2021 and it is predicted to surpass around USD 26.14 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 14.03% from 2022 to 2030.
Report Highlights
The rising requirement for drug discovery and development coupled with the adoption of personalized medicine is likely to favor the industry's growth. Furthermore, the rise in the implementation of next-generation sequencing by biotechnology companies around the globe is pushing product demand. For instance, in December 2021, Abbott received CE Mark for the i-STAT TBI Plasma test, a portable analyzer for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) blood. Hence, the company is permitted to expand its footprint in the European Union. The innovation in sequencing techniques has allowed researchers to decode DNA molecules up to the level of the complete human genome.
Ion Torrent chip by Thermo Fisher Scientific is one of the technologies based on sequencing by the technique of synthesis. The chip is an advancement in the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology that makes massively parallel sequencing cost-effective for every lab. Hence, the development of biochips to enhance the NGS application is anticipated to support the growth of the industry. Similarly, increasing government-based initiatives to promote the domestic production of biochips is likely to support the growth in the coming years. This strategic initiative is to match the local demand for the product with the supply. For instance, in July 2022, SiPhox, Inc. received a grant worth USD 681,631 from the Baker-Polito Administration.
The financial support is to accelerate the development of a manufacturing facility for the mass production of pluggable photonic biochips. It is estimated to accelerate the output to around 5,000 biochips per month from around 100 per month to match the rising demand from biotech segments including drug discovery, vaccine development, and distributed diagnostics. Such investments are likely to supplement the industry growth in the coming years. The COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to have a positive impact on industry growth during the forecasted period. Various companies collaborated to develop innovative solutions to deal with the pandemic. For instance, in March 2020, SkyWater Technology announced the collaboration with MGI, to supply essential components for COVID-19 sequencing, including microfluidic MEMS devices.
The growing requirement for personalized medicine is likely to become a key application area for the industry in the coming years. Since biochip is emerging as an important component in molecular diagnostics, their use in point-of-care diagnostics is anticipated to smooth the development of personalized medicines. In addition, gene expression profiling through microarrays is expected to enhance the progress of personalized treatment for cancer based on molecular classification. However, the cost involved in the manufacturing of biochips is considerably high, resulting in high pricing for end-users. For instance, Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) provides microarray to researchers. The cost of GeneChip Human Gene 2.0 ST for whole-transcript expression analysis & profiling ranges from USD 456 to 593 for fresh samples.

Type Insights
The DNA chips segment dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the highest share of more than 39.6% of the overall revenue. They are majorly used in academic research and clinical diagnostic tests for numerous diseases. For instance, in November 2021, Roswell Biotechnologies, a San Diego biotech company, is developing a molecular microchip that can take the molecule of an individual and assess it. The technology is anticipated to change the techniques of disease detection, development of drugs, and monitoring of health. The company aims to use the chip to enhance DNA sequencing. In DNA chips, the cancer diagnosis and treatment segment held a significant share in 2021. Biochips are projected to replace traditional medical diagnostic tasks, including cancer detection.
They are inexpensive, rapid, and widely available, hence enabling advanced detection of cancer to occur in numerous localities. It also eases the adoption process of telemedicine in the market. Similarly, Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have designed a biochip that can detect drug-resistant cancer cells. The Lab-On-chips (LOC), on the other hand, is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the projected period. Since the usage of LOC in the area of medicine is increasing, it is expected to assist in early diagnostics, drug patents, and personalized medicine. Hence, factors, such as low costs and low sample volumes, are expected to extend the use of LOC technology in point-of-care diagnostics in emerging countries.
End-use Insights
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies segment accounted for the highest revenue share of more than 55.98% in 2021. The companies are indulging in heavy R&D programs to integrate biochip technology in various health applications. Considering the competitiveness in the pharmaceutical market, the companies cannot afford to invest heavily in developing drugs that have the probability of failing FDA approval. However, biochips are anticipated to be a new pathway to the discovery and development of drugs. Biochips are employed to develop biomarkers in the process of drug discovery, primarily for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analysis and gene expression profiling.
On the other hand, the academic & research institutes' end-use segment is projected to register the highest growth rate from 2022 to 2030. The institutions are conducting R&D on the technology and exploring various applications for biochips. For instance, in January 2022, a team of professionals from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), along with other institutions, designed an advanced biochip that eases the manufacturing process of in vitro skin in the labs. The device is expected to be used in the testing of medicine and cosmetics.
Regional Insights
North America dominate the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the largest share of more than 48.5% of the overall revenue. The region is expected to maintain the industry position during the forecast period owing to the rising initiatives of the government for enhancing R&D through tax credits. The high existence of biotechnology companies along with academic and research institutions in the region is anticipated to boost further technology advancements in the applications of biochips. In the U.S., R&D tax credit is a budgetary benefit provided by the central government by offering companies dollar-for-dollar cash saving for carrying-out research activities to innovate, develop, or enhance products, processes, formulas, or software.
It is observed that a company can be offered a tax credit of around 12-16% for every dollar. The Asia Pacific region is estimated to register the fastest growth rate during the projected period. The fast-paced growth of this region will be mainly driven by China and India. The key determinants of industry growth in the region are enhancing the approachability to the technologies, a large patient pool, and improvement in healthcare infrastructure. The increasing adoption of biochip technology outsourcing to emerging markets by mature players to lower overall production costs is also a significant factor driving the region’s growth.
