Genomics Market Booms with Advancements in Sequencing Technologies

[Snehal Shaha]

Genomics Market growth is growing government investments to support genomics projects and the growing prevalence of various disorders such as cancer and genetic disorders will propel market growth. Moreover, advancements of NGS in cancer research coupled with the entry of various new players and start-ups in the genomics market are driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, increasing the affordability of genomics technology and improving patient outcomes are expected to boost the market growth.
Currently, Genomics Market is growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.0 % to reach USD 54.4 billion by 2025. The genomics market is segmented into sequencing technologies, PCR, nucleic acid extraction and purification, microarrays, and other technologies. The sequencing segment is further sub segmented into next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other sequencing technologies. NGS advantages include ultra-high-throughput, scalability, and high speed, enabling researchers to perform a wide variety of applications, including animal breeding, agriculture, and human genomics. In 2019, the next-generation sequencing technology dominated with the largest share of the genomics market. The substantial focus on new targeted therapies and the rising prevalence of cancer offers a lucrative opportunity for the adoption of NGS.
