Description: QGEN Qiagen January 03, 2026
Qiagen N.V. (NYSE: QGEN) supplies a broad portfolio of “sample-to-insight” technologies that convert biological specimens into molecular data. Its offerings span primary consumables (e.g., nucleic-acid stabilization kits, magnetic-bead extraction), secondary consumables (purification kits), and instruments for nucleic-acid purification, quality control, and automated PCR. The company also markets diagnostic consumables for immune-response testing (TB, post-transplant monitoring), oncology, reproductive health, forensic DNA, and food safety, alongside next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels, library-prep kits, bioinformatics SaaS, and custom genomics services for diagnostics, academia, pharma, and applied-testing markets.
Key recent metrics: QGEN reported FY 2023 revenue of $1.09 billion, up ~12 % YoY, driven by a 22 % surge in its Molecular Diagnostics segment and a 15 % increase in the Life Science Tools division. The firm entered 2024 with a cash-and-cash-equivalents balance of roughly $520 million, supporting its ongoing acquisition pipeline. Sector-wide, the global molecular diagnostics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~10 % through 2029, fueled by expanding infectious-disease testing, personalized oncology, and the shift toward decentralized point-of-care platforms-trends that directly benefit Qiagen’s integrated hardware-software solutions.
