Next Generation Sequencing Kits Market: Distribution by Type of Nucleotide Sequenced, Type of End User and Key Geographies - Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2022-2035

The field of genomic data collection and analysis has evolved significantly since the introduction of a gene sequencing method by Frederick Sanger in 1977. Advances in DNA sequencing technologies have led to significant developments in a variety of healthcare-focused research fields, such as precision medicine and diagnostics. Particularly, the impact of next generation sequencing (NGS) methods, enabling whole genome and whole exome sequencing, has been the most profound. This high throughput, parallel genome sequencing technology has greatly reduced the overall cost and time investment. In fact, compared to the Human Genome Project (~USD 3 billion), the cost of sequencing a single genome has decreased considerably (to USD 1,000), for currently available technologies. Given the ongoing innovation in this field, stakeholders further believe that, over the next decade, the aforementioned cost may further get reduced to USD 100. It is worth mentioning that this decrease in genome sequencing cost has led to an increase in the number of genomes being sequenced, across the globe. 

Despite the recent advances in the field of genomics, the nucleotide library preparation process is still marred with several challenges, including requirement of large amounts of input samples, low volume of yield and concerns related to quality of the product. In addition, the manual DNA library / RNA library preparation process is time consuming, requiring extensive manipulation and expensive reagents. Therefore, innovators in the pharmaceutical industry are constantly identifying / developing ways to improve the process of DNA library / RNA library preparation. Amidst other alternatives, the use of NGS library preparation kits has emerged as a viable option for various drug developers and academic / research institutes to overcome the existing challenges associated with conventional DNA library / RNA library preparation methods. These kits require less input material and are capable of generating precise DNA library / RNA libraries with minimum errors. Presently, more than 280 NGS library preparation kits are available in the market; these are compatible with a broad range of sequencing platforms, including Illumina®, Ion Torrent® and BGI NGS platforms. It is worth mentioning that over 3,200 patents related to NGS library preparation kits have been filed / granted in the past few years, demonstrating the continued innovation in this domain. Driven by the increasing demand for gene therapies and the introduction of novel and advanced NGS techniques, the NGS library preparation kits market is anticipated to witness steady growth in the coming years.
