Whole Genome Sequencing Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Product, Workflow, Application, End User, and Country - Analysis and Forecast, 2024-2034

Whole genome sequencing refers to the DNA sequencing of the entire genome, both coding and non-coding regions to detect inherited disease and track disease outbreaks. Various factors such as increasing demand for personalized medicine, advancement in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, rising incidence of genetic disorders, and declining cost of sequencing are driving the market of whole genome sequencing. For instance, the cost of sequencing a human genome has dramatically decreased from about $3 billion at the end of the Human Genome Project in 2003 to $600 in 2024. This decline is primarily due to the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, which facilitate high-throughput and parallel sequencing.

Furthermore, increased funding from governments, private institutions, and non-profit organizations for genomic research is fostering innovation and expanding the market for whole genome sequencing. For instance, in March 2024, Genomics-centered biomedical research received $6.5 million in funding to tackle intricate health challenges. A $6.5 million funding will accelerate genomics-focused breakthroughs in cancer, inherited eye diseases, and common gynecological disorders. The Advanced Genomics Collaboration (TAGC) has awarded this funding to four Innovation Projects led by University of Melbourne researchers in partnership with the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. These projects will also utilize advanced DNA sequencing technology from TAGC’s leading genomics hub, a collaboration between the University and global biotech firm Illumina, with support from Invest Victoria.

The integration of AI and ML is significantly transforming the landscape of whole genome sequencing (WGS) by enhancing data analysis, improving accuracy, and facilitating personalized medicine. AI and ML algorithms can process large genomic datasets more efficiently than traditional methods. With whole genome sequencing (WGS) producing around 100 gigabytes of raw data per individual, these technologies swiftly identify patterns, detect genetic variations, and predict disease risks. For example, AI tools like the Broad Institute's Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) streamline variant identification, which is essential for diagnosing genetic disorders. This use of technologically advanced tools is expected to drive the market for WGS over a forecast period.

The whole genome sequencing (WGS) market encounters several challenges that may hinder its growth and widespread adoption. One significant issue is the management and interpretation of the vast amounts of data generated, which requires advanced bioinformatics tools and skilled personnel, posing logistical and financial burdens on institutions. Furthermore, technical limitations, such as sequencing errors and difficulties in interpreting complex genomic regions, can impact the reliability of results. Addressing these challenges is crucial for unlocking the full potential of whole genome sequencing in both research and clinical applications.

Asia Pacific whole genome sequencing market is poised for substantial growth driven by technological advancements, government support, increasing healthcare applications, and a rising prevalence of genetic disorders. For instance, in February 2022, the Government of India authorized five laboratories to conduct whole genome sequencing for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Key players in the market are Agilent Technologies, Inc. BGI Group (Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI)), Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Eurofins Scientific SE, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Illumina, Inc., Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., and ProPhase Labs, Inc.
