Market Trends of Genomics Industry
The Consumables Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Share in the Genomics Market Over the Forecast Period
Consumables accounted for a significant share of the genomics market. Consumables are used in huge numbers in genomic systems, and their use will continue to rise with the increasing number of genomic tests performed across the world, which is one of the key factors boosting market growth.
The continuous introduction of nucleic acid extraction kits and reagents by key market players is driving revenue generation in the segment. For instance, in June 2022, MGI Tech Co., Ltd commercially launched the innovative HotMPS high throughput screening kit and instrument in Germany.
Also, in May 2021, 30M Genomics developed a new technology called AMP Ready for extracting DNA for biological in five seconds without requiring any equipment. And, in May 2021, Bio-Rad launched the SEQuoia RiboDepletion kit, which improves assay efficiency by eliminating irrelevant ribosomal RNA fragments from an RNA-Seq Library. The SEQuoia Ribo Depletion kit is designed for genomics researchers targeting rare transcripts or working with a limited or degraded sample. Similarly, in March 2021, PCR Biosystems launched a range of IsoFast Bst Polymerase reagents for rapid, robust, and sensitive DNA and RNA amplification, which enables faster time to get results and facilitates DNA and RNA amplification in the field without specialized thermocycling equipment. Thus, the above-mentioned factors, such as frequent product launches and increasing usage of consumables in genomics research are likely to boost the segment's growth.
North America is Expected to Hold Significant Share in the Genomics Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall genomics market throughout the forecast period due to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, increasing government entities' investment in research, raising awareness among consumers, and the availability of advanced healthcare infrastructure, contributing to the growing technological advances in this sector and rising demand for biotechnological practices in the region, is anticipated to drive the growth in the region. The domicile presence of some of the major players in the region also ensures the dominance of the region.
For instance, in April 2021, United States Administration announced a USD 1.7 billion investment to overcome COVID-19 variants, This includes YSD 1 billion to expand genomic sequencing, and USD 400 million to support innovation initiatives including the launch of new innovative Centers of Excellence in genomic epidemiology. Also, the Biden Administration invested nearly USD 200 million investments to help increase genomic sequencing to 29,000 samples per week by April 2021.
Also, the rising market player's activities such as product launches, collaborations, mergers, and others are expected to contribute to the growth of the market in this region. For instance, in March 2022, Element Biosciences commercially launched the Element AVITI System, a benchtop sequencer offering an unrivaled combination of performance, cost, and flexibility. Also, in December 2021, Singular Genomics Systems commercially launched the G4 sequencing platform. This next-generation sequencing platform will provide up to three times more data output per hour than other instruments. Additionally, in March 2021, Applied DNA Sciences Inc. launched Linea COVID-19 Selective Genomic Surveillance Mutation Panel to enhance the utility of limited Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) resources in the United States to track the SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern (VOCs) better at local, state, and federal levels.
Thus, the above-mentioned factors, such as increasing investments by government entities and innovative product launches along with the presence of major market players, are expected to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period in North America.
