Global Whole Genome Sequencing Market is valued approximately at USD 1,642 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 20.6% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a method that involves determining the entire DNA sequence of an organism’s genome, encompassing chromosomal DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and chloroplast DNA in plants. Genomic data obtained through WGS aids in the identification of genetic disorders, monitoring disease outbreaks, and understanding variations that influence the progression of cancer. Additionally, WGS can be employed to detect diseases in newborns and children, study uncommon tumor types, analyze familial disease patterns, and facilitate drug trials, among other applications. The driving factors that are boosting the market growth are growing prevalence of genetic disorders, rise in funding received by government organizations and the increasing demand to identify treatable genetic disorders.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Statistics, approximately 1 in every 707 newborn children in U.S. is affected by Down syndrome, resulting in an estimated total of 5,568 children with the condition. The funding received by the government is also a major driving factor. In March 2022, the U.K. Government initiated the COVID-19 Genomics U.K. Consortium, an alliance aimed at sequencing the genomes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, comprising the NHS, Wellcome Sanger Institute, Public Health Agencies, and academic institutions. With an investment of around USD 22 million (EUR 20 million), the consortium is focused on mapping the virus’s genetic information. Moreover, the development of low-cost method for whole genome sequencing and the increasing demand for Biomarker Discovery that could show a disease conditions may create lucrative opportunities for the market. However, the high cost of sequencing procedures stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Whole Genome Sequencing Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 with largest market share owing to the well-developed research and development infrastructure and growing government funding which is influencing the rising whole genome sequencing research activity in the region. The presence of prominent industry players such as Illumina, Inc., known for their robust research and development capabilities and manufacturing facilities in the region is also anticipated to drive the regional market growth. However, Asia Pacific is expected to become the fastest growing during the forecast period, owing to factors such as increasing R&D investment and government initiatives supporting private companies engaged in whole genome sequencing. For instance, in February 2022, the Government of India authorized five laboratories to conduct whole genome sequencing specifically for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
