The Global Digital PCR Market Size is expected to be worth around USD 1,803 Million by 2032 from USD 450 Million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.

By 2025, the Digital PCR Market is expanding beyond healthcare into agricultural genomics and GMO authentication. Precision quantification of transgenic traits in seeds and plant products is unlocking new capabilities for breeders, regulators, and food manufacturers. dPCR’s high accuracy enables detection of genetically modified organisms at low frequencies—ensuring traceability and compliance with evolving labeling requirements. Seed producers are integrating dPCR into quality control workflows to validate trait inheritance and varietal purity before market release.

Meanwhile, regulatory agencies are adopting dPCR standard protocols for GMO verification in export shipments. As the global agriculture sector faces increasing demands for accurate, transparent genotyping, Digital PCR is emerging as the gold standard—establishing trust in supply chains and enabling trait monitoring throughout cultivation.
