(PharmaNewsWire.Com, June 19, 2019 ) The latest report by IMARC Group, entitled “Global DNA Sequencing Products Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024”, finds that the global DNA sequencing products market reached a value of around US$ 4 Billion in 2018, registering a CAGR of nearly 16% during 2011-2018. DNA sequencing refers to the process of validating the accurate order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. It comprises of various technologies and techniques that are used to figure out the sequence of the four bases in a DNA strand – guanine, thymine, adenine and cytosine. DNA sequencing finds applications in varied fields of research such as species discovery, genome editing, forensic sciences, DNA recombination, hereditary disease detection, agrigenomics and phylogenetic analysis.
As DNA sequencing provides information about the genetic basis of diseases, it has created opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to modernize medicines and develop personalized treatments for patients. For instance, DNA sequencing processes have helped in the development of targeted therapies that affect pathogens or cancer cells but do not damage healthy body cells. Apart from this, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in the United States provides allowances for new research and development in genomics which has encouraged researchers to foray into the industry. Consequently, the growing demand for efficient DNA sequencing products has encouraged manufacturers to develop alternative sequencing technologies with improved yield, affordability, speed and sensitivity. Looking forward, the market value is projected to cross US$ 9 Billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 15% during 2019-2024.
Based on product types, the market has been segmented into consumables and reagents, and equipment. Currently, consumables and reagents are the most popular type of DNA sequencing products.
Market Breakup by Applications:
