Single-Cell Genome Sequencing Global Market Report 2024

The single-cell genome sequencing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.17 billion in 2023 to $2.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the increased understanding of genetic heterogeneity, a rising demand for precision medicine, increased focus on cancer research, growth in the prevalence of infectious diseases, and increased healthcare spending.

The single-cell genome sequencing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases, rising occurrences of neurological disorders, growing government initiatives and funding, the rise of contract research organizations (CROs), and increasing awareness of the potential of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in single-cell sequencing technologies, the development of single-cell multi-omics technologies, collaborative initiatives to accelerate advancements, the introduction of innovative solutions, and partnerships among key players.

The anticipated rise in cancer prevalence is expected to drive the growth of the single-cell genome sequencing market in the future. Cancer, a diverse group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, is a result of genetic changes affecting cell division and normal cellular functions. The disease is marked by genetic alterations, and single-cell genome sequencing proves invaluable in revealing these genetic changes at the individual cancer cell level. For example, in January 2023, the American Cancer Society reported approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer-related deaths in the US in 2022. Predictions indicate a further increase, with an estimated 27.5 million new cancer cases and 16.3 million cancer deaths projected by 2040. Consequently, the rising incidence of cancer is expected to be a driving factor for the growth of the single-cell genome sequencing market.

The remarkable expansion of genomic data is a substantial contributor to the ongoing growth of the single-cell genome sequencing market. Genomic data encompasses information related to the structure and function of an organism's genome. The exponential increase in genomic data generated through single-cell sequencing opens up opportunities for data analysis, interpretation, and the development of bioinformatics tools, fostering market growth. As per a 2022 report from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the genomic data is projected to reach between 2 and 40 exabytes within the next decade. Hence, the rapid surge in genomic data is poised to propel the single-cell genome sequencing market.

Technological advancements emerge as a noteworthy trend gaining traction in the single-cell genome sequencing market. Leading companies in the sector are dedicated to developing technologically advanced solutions to enhance their market position. For instance, in May 2023, Mission Bio Inc., a US-based company specializing in single-cell multi-omics platforms, introduced the Tapestri Genome Editing Solution. This end-to-end product for genome editing analysis is expected to be a more effective analytical tool for developing next-generation gene-edited drugs, offering single-cell insights capable of impacting efficacy and safety.

Major players in the single-cell genome sequencing market are concentrating on the development of single-cell proteomics, a nascent discipline seeking to understand the diversity of protein expression within individual cells. Integrating single-cell genomics with proteomics techniques allows for studying the relationship between genomic information and protein expression at the single-cell level. For example, in October 2023, Proteome Sciences plc, a UK-based biotechnology company, launched SysQuant SCP, a single-cell proteomics commercial service. Leveraging the capabilities of its TMTpro isobaric labelling reagents, SysQuant SCP generates and analyzes quantitative mass spectrometry data to uncover subtle variations in individual cells and within subpopulations of the same primary cell type. This data is expected to advance our understanding of biological drivers of heterogeneity and evolution in disease contexts and therapy responses, providing new targets for personalized medicine.

In August 2021, Illumina Inc., a US-based company specializing in sequencing and array technologies, acquired GRAIL for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aligns with Illumina's mission to revolutionize healthcare, including combating the COVID-19 epidemic and assisting cancer patients in finding suitable treatments. GRAIL, a US-based biotechnology company, offers whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome methylation sequencing, and ultra-deep targeted sequencing.
