Global Environmental DNA (eDNA) Biomonitoring Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Environmental DNA (eDNA) Biomonitoring market size is predicted to grow from US$ 480 million in 2025 to US$ 1,415 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.0% from 2026 to 2032.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to the DNA that can be extracted from environmental samples (e.g. water, soil, sediment.). This DNA originates from species living in the surrounding environment and contains information on their identity.

In recent years, eDNA has been used as a tool to detect endangered wildlife that were otherwise unseen. In 2020, human health researchers began repurposing eDNA techniques to track the COVID-19 pandemic.

Example sources of eDNA include, but are not limited to, feces, mucus, gametes, shed skin, carcasses and hair. Samples can be analyzed by high-throughput DNA sequencing methods, known as metagenomics, metabarcoding, and single-species detection, for rapid monitoring and measurement of biodiversity. In order to better differentiate between organisms within a sample, DNA metabarcoding is used in which the sample is analyzed and uses previously studied DNA libraries, such as BLAST, to determine what organisms are present.

The analysis of eDNA has great potential, not only for monitoring common species, but to genetically detect and identify other extant species that could influence conservation efforts. This method allows for biomonitoring without requiring collection of the living organism, creating the ability to study organisms that are invasive, elusive, or endangered without introducing anthropogenic stress on the organism. Access to this genetic information makes a critical contribution to the understanding of population size, species distribution, and population dynamics for species not well documented. Importantly, eDNA is often more cost-effective compared to traditional sampling methods.
