The increasing adoption of precision medicine is poised to drive the expansion of lab automation within the genomics market in the foreseeable future. Precision medicine, characterized by its personalized approach to healthcare, takes into account individual variations in genes, environment, and lifestyle to deliver tailored medical therapies. The growing demand for precision medicine is attributed to various factors, including advancements in genomics, targeted therapies, patient-centric care, and drug development. As precision medicine relies heavily on genetic testing to identify disease-related genes, laboratories are faced with the challenge of processing a large number of samples quickly and accurately, prompting the adoption of automated systems. For instance, data from February 2024, provided by the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, revealed that the FDA approved 16 novel personalized therapies for rare diseases in 2023, compared to six in 2022. This indicates a significant uptick in the adoption of precision medicine, thereby driving the demand for lab automation in the genomics market.

Leading companies in lab automation within the genomics market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as automated whole genome sequencing (WGS) to advance genomics research, clinical diagnostics, and personalized medicine significantly. Automated whole genome sequencing involves sequencing an individual's genome using high-throughput, automated sequencing technologies. For example, in May 2023, Clear Labs, Inc., a US-based genomics testing company, introduced Clear Dx, a new solution offering fully automated sample processing. Clear Dx ensures precise and consistent library preparation and management for genomics applications. The automation provided by Clear Dx reduces human variability, ensures consistency throughout sequencing, and streamlines genome sequencing processes. It reduces hands-on time to just 30 minutes with a single touchpoint, making whole genome sequencing accessible even without specialized training.
