(PharmaNewsWire.Com, April 18, 2019 ) According to a new market research report "Epigenetics Market by Product (Kit, Enzymes, Reagent, NGS, Mass Spectrometer, PCR, Bioinformatics), Application (Oncology, Cardiology, Immunology), Technology (DNA Methylation, Histone Modification), End User (Academic, CRO) - Global Forecast to 2022", published by MarketsandMarkets™, the market is projected to reach USD 1,605.7 million by 2022 from an estimated USD 854.0 million in 2017, at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period.
The key factors that are driving the growth of this market include The decreasing sequencing costs and time, increase in research activities to identify and develop inhibitors/drugs for various diseases, funding for epigenetics research, and rising prevalence of cancer.
Growing applications in Personalized Medicine and Targeted Therapy in Oncology is a growth opportunity for the Epigenetics market
According to a press release published by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development in May 2015, biopharmaceutical companies have nearly doubled their R&D investments in personalized medicine over the last five years, and these investments are further expected to increase by 33% over the next five years. This will further drive the use of epigenetics tools. A 2016 study performed to analyze the epigenetic modification of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the patient population fueled interest in prognostic biomarkers and personalized therapies. This study was performed by CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Science (Austria) in collaboration with the University of Southampton and the Royal Bournemouth Hospital under the European BLUEPRINT project and the International Human Epigenome Consortium. The expanding application of epigenetics in personalized medicine and targeted therapies, therefore, offers significant opportunities for market growth.
