Plant Virome Diagnostics Outlook 2026-2030 Featuring Profiles of Illumina, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Qiagen Dublin, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Plant Virome Diagnostics Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global plant virome diagnostics market is experiencing strong growth as agricultural producers, research institutions and diagnostic laboratories increase their focus on early plant virus detection and crop disease management. The market is projected to grow from $1.03 billion in 2025 to $1.12 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%.

Historical market expansion has been supported by the rising incidence of viral outbreaks affecting major crops, greater use of molecular diagnostics in agriculture and increasing awareness of virus-related crop yield losses. The expansion of agricultural biotechnology research programs and wider adoption of PCR-based plant disease testing have also strengthened demand for plant virome diagnostic technologies and services.

Growth is expected to remain robust through the end of the decade. The plant virome diagnostics market is forecast to reach $1.61 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.5%. Key growth drivers include the increasing adoption of next-generation sequencing, rising demand for precision agriculture, expansion of digital and data-driven farming, and greater availability of portable diagnostic systems for field use. Investment in plant health biosecurity and virome research is also expected to create new opportunities for technology developers and testing laboratories.

Important plant virome diagnostics market trends include metagenomic sequencing for early virus detection, high-throughput sequencing for mapping plant viral diversity and cloud-based analytics platforms that support real-time disease surveillance. Portable molecular diagnostic kits and advanced bioinformatics pipelines are also improving the speed, accessibility and accuracy of plant virus identification and classification.

The rising incidence of plant viral diseases remains a significant factor supporting market growth. Increased global trade and the movement of plant materials are enabling viruses to spread across regions, crops and agricultural systems. As a result, growers, seed producers and laboratories require timely and accurate diagnostic tools to control infections, strengthen crop protection programs and reduce potential yield losses.

In July 2025, the Department of Primary Industries and Regions in Australia reported that turnip yellows virus can affect canola and major pulse crops, with potential yield losses ranging from 10% to 80%. Earlier infections were associated with more substantial losses, underscoring the economic importance of rapid detection, effective surveillance and proactive plant health management.

Product innovation is further reshaping the plant virome diagnostics market. Developers are prioritizing highly sensitive, rapid and field-deployable testing solutions that can identify multiple plant viruses and support faster crop management decisions. In May 2025, Agdia Inc. launched a Rapid Molecular Test Kit for Begomovirus species on its AmplifyRP XRT platform. The kit supports on-site detection in less than 30 minutes using recombinase polymerase amplification technology and does not require nucleic acid purification. It provides 97.7% sensitivity and 100% specificity and can be used for laboratory and field testing across multiple crop species.

Strategic acquisitions are also strengthening diagnostic capabilities across the sector. In September 2024, Eurofins Agroscience Services acquired Verdelab Bioscience for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition expands Eurofins' plant pathology and plant virus testing capabilities, reinforces its laboratory services for seed companies and plant breeders, and supports the development of integrated plant health diagnostic solutions. Verdelab Bioscience specializes in detecting plant viruses, fungi, bacteria and phytoplasmas.

North America was the largest region in the plant virome diagnostics market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period. The market analysis covers Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa.
