Global Oligonucleotide Synthesis Market Forecast to 2031 | Market to Reach US$32.72 Billion at 17.4% CAGR as RNA Therapeutics and Molecular Diagnostics Scale
Dublin, Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Oligonucleotide Synthesis Market: Global Forecast to 2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global oligonucleotide synthesis market is projected to grow from USD 14.64 billion in 2026 to USD 32.72 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 17.4% during the forecast period. Growth is being driven by rising demand for synthesized oligonucleotides, including primers and probes used in research and diagnostic applications. Technological advancements in oligonucleotide synthesis, expanding genomic research, increased adoption of personalized medicine, and growing government investment in life science research and synthetic biology are also supporting market expansion.
By offering, the market is segmented into oligonucleotide-based drugs, synthesized oligonucleotides, and oligonucleotide synthesis products, including consumables and equipment. The oligonucleotide-based drugs segment accounted for the largest market share in 2025. Its leadership reflects the increasing adoption and clinical success of RNA-targeted treatments, particularly for rare and hereditary diseases.
Demand for antisense oligonucleotide-based drugs, siRNA oligonucleotide-based drugs, and other oligonucleotide-based therapies continues to rise as pharmaceutical companies advance precision treatment pipelines. Market growth is further supported by improvements in delivery systems, the increasing prevalence of genetic diseases, and substantial research and development investment in RNA-based treatments.
North America held the largest share of the global oligonucleotide synthesis market in 2025, led by the US. The region benefits from a concentrated network of major biopharmaceutical companies, academic research institutes, contract development and manufacturing organizations, and investors focused on genomic innovation. The US market is also supported by a clinical pipeline of more than 150 oligo-based therapeutics and established US FDA regulatory pathways. These factors are generating significant demand for complex, large-scale, high-purity GMP production.
