Saudi Arabia Molecular Diagnostics Market Trends & Drivers:
Saudi Arabia's molecular diagnostics market is experiencing robust growth driven by the government's ambitious Vision 2030 healthcare modernization initiatives, with the Kingdom allocating USD 36.8 billion to healthcare and social development in 2022, representing 14.4% of the national budget and positioning Saudi Arabia as responsible for approximately 60% of total healthcare spending across the Gulf Cooperation Council. The establishment of specialized medical cities and promotion of public-private partnerships is accelerating diagnostic infrastructure development, with AKDITAL Group announcing a USD 200 million investment in 2025 to build private hospitals in Riyadh and Jeddah by 2027, featuring advanced molecular testing as an integral component of standard care.
The surge in medical tourism ambitions is creating unprecedented demand for international-standard molecular diagnostic capabilities, with Saudi Arabia's medical tourism sector valued at USD 1,341.1 million in 2024 and projected to reach USD 7,918.6 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 21.80%. Tertiary hospitals and emerging medical cities are incorporating advanced PCR, NGS, and molecular oncology testing to attract international patients from the GCC and broader MENA region seeking specialized services in oncology, fertility, and genetic counseling, with screening coverage for breast and colorectal cancer currently below 25% of eligible populations, creating significant opportunities for minimally invasive molecular diagnostics.
Strategic international partnerships and technology localization initiatives are accelerating market expansion, exemplified by Co-Diagnostics' October 2025 joint venture with Arabian Eagle Manufacturing to establish CoMira Diagnostics, which will manufacture and distribute Co-Dx PCR platforms across Saudi Arabia and 18 other MENA countries. The Saudi AI diagnostics market is projected to grow from USD 17 million in 2022 to USD 204.9 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 36.5%, while the broader Saudi In Vitro Diagnostics market reached USD 757 million in 2024 with molecular diagnostics experiencing rapid adoption. Major developments include the June 2024 Abu Dhabi-Illumina partnership to incorporate NGS into clinical workflows, the May 2024 launch of OncoHelix-coLAB at Burjeel Medical City for comprehensive genomic profiling, and the November 2024 Recursive AI-KAIMRC MoU for AI-powered tuberculosis screening, positioning Saudi Arabia as a regional hub for molecular diagnostic innovation and supporting the Kingdom's goal to extend life expectancy to 83 years while managing the rising burden of chronic diseases affecting up to 20% of the GCC population.
