Market Trends of Global Single-cell Genome Sequencing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Single Cell Genome Sequencing Market according to our research experts:
PCR Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
The PCR segment is expected to hold a significant share in the market over the forecast period.
Factors such as initiatives by key market players such as product launches and collaborations are expected to increase the market growth in the forecast period. The market segment's growth is boosted by the launch of products in the market. For instance, in June 2020, Stilla Technologies launched one of the world's first six-color digital PCR instruments named 'the six-color Prism'. This system can be used widely in oncology, infectious disease, gene therapy, disease monitoring, and food testing. Similarly, in July 2022 Bio-Rad launched CFX Opus Deepwell real-time PCR detection system. Bio-Rad's CFx Opus Deepwell Real-time PCR Detection system is designed to support research in developing nucleic acid detection assays.
Additionally, the market segment is boosted by the strategic collaboration among the players to strengthen the opposition worldwide. For instance, in October 2021, PerkinElmer and Honeycomb Biotechnologies announced the launch of the first-of-its-kind HIVE scRNAseq Solution for single-cell isolation and analysis. The HIVE solution leverages a portable, handheld device for the capture, storage, and RNA-Seq library preparation of a diverse range of cell types, including fragile and labile cells such as granulocytes, nephrons, hepatocytes, and neurons. The HIVE solution requires no specialized instrumentation and expands opportunities for laboratories pursuing basic, translational, clinical, and preclinical research.
Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the PCR segment of the market is expected to project considerable growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a dominant share in market over the forecast period.
Factors such as rising disease prevalence and product launches and expansions by key market players are expected to drive market growth in the region. According to Cancer Statistics 2021, published in the American Cancer Society Journal, an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases are diagnosed and 608,570 cancer deaths in the United States, which will drive the market significantly. Similarly, according to data by Globocan 2020, the country's estimated number of new cancer cases in 2020 was 195,449. The number of cancer cases in the country is expected to increase during the forecast period, thus driving the market's growth.
Furthermore, launching new products based on single-cell sequencing will drive market growth significantly. For instance, in September 2020, Roche received United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Cobas HIV-1/HIV-2 Qualitative Test for use on the fully automated Cobas 6800/8800 Systems in the US. The test will help healthcare professionals confirm HIV diagnosis with a single test and differentiate HIV-1 and HIV-2, an important distinction needed to identify appropriate treatment options. In October 2021, Takara Bio USA, Inc., a fully owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc., launched the SMART-Seq Pro kit for the ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System. Scientists can collect full-length transcriptome data from over 1,500 single cells simultaneously using this automated single-cell RNA-seq technology from a wide range of sample types, including huge, delicate adult cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, in March 2020, to fight the COVID-19 public health problem, inference, a Cambridge-based company, announced the creation of a first-of-its-kind software resource that synthesizes disparate Single Cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data sets. The library includes the nferX augmented intelligence technology, which enables machines to understand over 100 million unstructured biomedical papers and correlate emerging insights from scientific literature with deep biological signals at the single-cell level.
Thus, due to the such factors, the studied market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
