Microfluidics Global Market Report 2025

Microfluidics is the science and technology of devices designed to process or manipulate small volumes of fluid (ranging from 10-9 to 10-18L) through channels with widths of a few tens to several hundred micrometers. Microfluidic devices are capable of performing chemical analysis on small amounts of liquid, such as droplets of blood. These devices have emerged as an alternative to conventional laboratory techniques, offering the potential to conduct complete laboratory protocols on a single small chip.

The primary types of microfluidics encompass silicone-based microfluidics, glass-based microfluidics, and polymer-based microfluidics. Silicon-based microfluidics involve the use of micro-manufactured devices for chip-scale management of tiny volumes of fluids. These devices are created by combining silicon with other materials such as glass, polymers, or other substances. Silicon-based microfluidics find applications in various fields, including industrial and environmental processes, drug delivery, pharmaceutical and life science research, analysis, and clinical and veterinary diagnostics.

This microfluidics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The microfluidics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.16 billion in 2024 to $10.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased incidences of chronic diseases, increased number of new infections and deaths due to COVID-19 disease, and increased healthcare expenditure.

The microfluidics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for point-of-care testing in the healthcare industry, increasing need for microfluidics, and an increased number of clinical studies for cell-based therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include the use of white blood cell isolation technology, product innovations, adoption of digital microfluidics platform, use of 3d printing in microfluidics, technological advancements, use of invitro diagnostics tests, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The growing demand for advanced point-of-care testing (POCT) in the healthcare sector is driving the microfluidics market. POCT enables healthcare providers to identify and diagnose illnesses quickly, often at or near the patient's location, significantly faster than traditional laboratory testing. Microfluidics-based POCT devices are portable, low-cost, and highly accurate. Countries worldwide are increasingly investing in POCT capabilities to offer convenient testing services to their populations, which is expected to enhance the demand for innovative microfluidics used in these devices. For example, in November 2023, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, reported that in 2022, approximately 36.1% of the EU population aged 16 years or older indicated they had a long-standing illness or health problem. Therefore, the rising demand for point-of-care testing is anticipated to drive the growth of the microfluidics market during the forecast period.

The rise in clinical studies for cell-based therapies has significantly contributed to the growth of the microfluidics market during the historical period. Microfluidics has emerged as a promising platform for advancing biomanufacturing in drug, gene, and cell therapies by enabling enhanced synthesis of nanoscale drug and gene delivery systems, microencapsulation of drugs or cells, intracellular delivery of macromolecules, and the fabrication of macroscale constructs from micro-nano fibers. For example, in July 2023, the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, a US-based medical and scientific development organization, reported a 58% increase in non-oncology gene and cell therapy clinical trials in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter. Thus, the growing number of clinical studies focused on cell-based therapies is expected to drive the growth of the microfluidics market during the forecast period.

Innovation in product development is a significant contributor to the rapid growth of the microfluidics market. Companies in the microfluidics sector are actively creating innovative products to meet the escalating industry demand and enhance their market positions. For instance, Miroculus, Inc., a California-based developer of personal lab automation solutions, launched Micro Canvas in March 2022, a digital microfluidics platform designed to automate complex next-generation sequencing platforms.

Major companies in the microfluidics market are actively focused on developing innovative technological solutions to enhance their market positions. For example, in March 2024, Takara Bio, a Japan-based manufacturer of scientific reagents, launched the first commercial dissolvable microfluidic lentiviral transduction enhancer. This product employs a unique dissolvable microfluidic platform that enables precise control over the transduction process, thereby improving the delivery of lentiviral vectors into target cells. The enhancer is specifically designed to significantly boost the efficiency of lentiviral transduction, which is vital for gene therapy applications, ensuring more effective gene delivery into cells. Additionally, the microfluidic system simplifies the experimental setup, making it accessible for researchers without requiring extensive technical expertise.

In December 2022, CPS Fluidics, a US-based manufacturer of custom fluidics products, acquired Hexano Corp. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is intended to strengthen CPS Fluidics' capabilities in the manufacturing and prototyping of microfluidic devices by leveraging Hexano's expertise and established client base. Hexano Corp. specializes in the production of microfluidic devices and is also based in the United States.
