Short-Read Sequencing Market Analysis

The Short-Read Sequencing Market size is estimated at USD 7.90 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 16.80 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 16.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The short-read sequencing market is influenced by several factors that impact its growth and adoption in the genomics and life sciences sectors. Some of the major driving factors include rising demand for precision medicine, continuous advancements in genomics research, and cost-effectiveness and efficiency of short-read sequencing technologies.

Continuous advancements in genomics research drive the demand for sequencing technologies to study genetic variations, disease mechanisms, and personalized medicine. For instance, in May 2024, SOPHiA GENETICS, a cloud-native healthcare technology company, partnered with Microsoft and NVIDIA. This collaboration aims to harness their combined technological and genomic expertise. The goal is to introduce a more efficient and scalable solution for whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis in healthcare institutions. Hence, technological advancements in sequencing help analyze data using short-read sequencing methods, which is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period.

Also, growing company activities such as collaborations, partnerships, and agreements for developing new products are expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2023, PacBio, a leading provider of precise sequencing solutions, agreed to acquire Apton Biosystems Inc. (Apton). Apton, headquartered in the United States, specializes in a cutting-edge short-read sequencer. This approach efficiently tests billions of DNA clusters on a single flow cell. Hence, these strategic activities increase the company’s portfolios and are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Therefore, continuous advancements in genomics research and company activities are expected to increase the demand for short-read sequencing products and services, boosting market growth during the forecast period. However, complexity in sequencing data analysis and interpretation and competition from other sequencing technologies are expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.
