Epigenetics is a stream of genetics that involves study of cellular and physiological trait variations initiated by external or ecological aspects, which turn genes on and off and affect cellular ability to read genes without being affected by changes in genotype. Epigenetics itself means in addition to alterations in genomic sequence, which means it results into changes in an organism’s phenotype rather than genotype, wherein the underlying DNA or RNA sequence remains unchanged. Epigenetic alterations are essential for development as they are dynamic and change with respect to environmental stimuli. However, these changes can be stable and could be passed from one generation to another. Biology and genetic expressions of most organisms are affected by epigenetics, which makes it one of the most crucial fields of developmental genetics and molecular biology. Methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, and sumolyation are some of the epigenetic mechanisms that have been discovered.
The epigenetics market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to rise in incidences of cancer and surge in its application in other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Increase in R&D activities, surge in investments in R&D, growth in epigenetic applications for non-oncology diseases, and increase in partnership between academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies significantly drive the market growth. However, high cost of instruments and lack of trained professionals impede the market growth.
Furthermore, untapped potential of emerging markets provides lucrative opportunities to the market players. Moreover, rise in application of epigenetics processes underlying illness onset and progression has proven critical in recent years for creation of innovative early diagnostic and prognosis biomarkers for assessing patients and its utilization in precision medicine.

Executive Summary
The global epigenetics market was valued at $1.0 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $4.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2021 to 2030. Epigenetics is an area of developmental biology that involves study of cellular and physiological trait variations initiated by external or ecological aspects. This external stimulus turns genes 'on” and 'off” and affects ability of cells to read genes. Epigenetics changes phenotype of an organism rather than genotype, wherein the underlying DNA or RNA sequence remains unchanged. For instance, DNA methylation and histone modification are epigenetic processes wherein alteration in gene expression is observed without change in the DNA sequence. Increase in use and application of epigenetics to formulate drugs to treat different oncology and non-oncology-related diseases is expected to boost the market growth.Rise in cancer prevalence; increase in funding & aids for R&D activities; rise in partnership between academic, pharmaceutical, & biotechnology companies for epigenetics studies; and increase in application of epigenetics in non-oncology diseases majorly drives the market growth. In addition, various product launch, collaborations, and other developmental strategies among key players further drive the market.
For instance, in September 2021, Salarius Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm investigating possible new medications for patients with sarcomas, pediatric malignancies, and other hematologic and solid tumors, announced a research collaboration with Fox Chase Cancer Center's Cancer Epigenetics Institute. The study is expected to aid in identification of additional indications and possible biomarkers for Salariu’s flagship medication candidate, seclidemstat. Thus, such research activities contribute toward growth of the market. However, high cost of instruments and lack of trained professionals are factors that impede the market growth. Conversely, growth opportunities in emerging markets provide lucrative opportunities to the market players.
