Global Next-Generation Sequencing Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global NGS market size is estimated to grow to USD 14.26 billion by 2029 from USD 6.06 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 18.66% during the forecast period.

The next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach uses massively parallel processing to form DNA sequencing. There are two methods to prepare the templates, namely amplified templates originating from single molecules and single DNA molecule templates. NGS plays a pivotal role in clinical practice by improving diagnosis procedures. This technique is mainly used in discovering disease-causing genes. It takes a single day to complete the entire human genome with this technique.

Global Next-Generation Sequencing Market Drivers:

An increasing number of advancements in genomics research is propelling the NGS market growth. Genomics research has experienced numerous significant developments and NGS has played a vital role in facilitating this progress. The speed and accuracy of sequencing entire genomes have been improved dramatically through next-generation sequencing. The next-generation sequencing technology plays a major role in analyzing vast amounts of genetic data and identifying the causes behind various diseases. In addition, the involvement of next-generation sequencing in developing personalized medicine is on the rise. Researchers and healthcare providers have been using next-generation sequencing to analyze genetic mutations to understand the risk of genetic diseases and develop personalized therapies accordingly.

The growing patient population suffering from genetic diseases fuels the growth rate of the NGS market. In recent years, next-generation sequencing technology has been increasingly used to identify the genetic variations associated with genetic diseases. In addition, NGS technology has been playing a key role in diagnosing and treating genetic diseases. The population suffering from genetic disorders is growing continuously, and WHO says millions of people are affected by genetic diseases worldwide. An estimated 400 million people worldwide were affected by rare diseases in 2019, most of them because of genetic mutations. In the U.S., an estimated 30 million people suffer from genetic diseases. The National Institute of Health (NIH) says an estimated more than 6000 rare genetic diseases have been identified to date, and the number is increasing. Likewise, the growing number of genetic diseases and the increasing population suffering from these diseases is expected to result in the growing use of next-generation sequencing technology in diagnosis and treatment procedures and boost the market’s growth rate.

The decreasing sequencing costs drive the NGS market growth. The cost of sequencing has been continuously decreasing over the last few years, making NGS affordable and accessible to researchers and clinicians and the same resulted in the rising adoption of NGS technology in clinical settings. This trend is expected to fuel in the coming years and result in the market’s growth rate. In addition, factors such as increasing demand for personalized medicine, rapid adoption of technological developments in NGS platforms and software tools and rising usage of NGS in agricultural and animal genomics accelerate the market growth. Furthermore, the growing adoption of NGS in clinical diagnostics, increasing usage of NIPT, rising usage of NGS in microbiology for pathogen detection and identification, and studying microbial communities propel the NGS market growth. Furthermore, factors such as the growing cancer patient population, increasing investments for the R&D of advanced and innovative NGS solutions by the market participants and research institutes, the growing need to improve diagnostic procedures and to ensure quality treatment, an increasing number of studies on genomes are leveling up the growth rate of this next-generation sequencing market.

Global Next-Generation Sequencing Market Restraints:

High costs associated with the installation and maintenance of the equipment required for NGS in laboratories are one of the key factors hampering the market growth. Lack of standardization is another significant attribute limiting the demand for the NGS and the market’s growth rate. The interpretation of the data's DNA sequence, acceleration of the data analysis, and shortage in the data storage generated in the bottleneck are some other key factors inhibiting the growth rate of the next-generation sequencing market. In addition, there are serious issues, such as data originating from the usage of various datasets, which must be addressed. Some DNA, like short fragments, should be analyzed and compared with the reference databases, which is against but efficient and fast. To face these many challenges, many solutions have been proposed by commercial software companies and industries, but many hardships still exist. Updating the data to the central or disturbed data storage and analysis services by the clients' computers and the data parallelization using the grid or cloud solutions further hinder the NGS market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global NGS market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has favorably impacted the next-generation sequencing market growth. During the COVID-19 pandemic, next-generation sequencing testing has grown significantly as it has been used as an effective tool for detecting viruses in the human body. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several companies have developed NGS-based diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19. In addition, the NGS technology has been increasingly used by researchers in drug discovery activities to develop treatments for the COVID-19 virus. Furthermore, the use of telemedicine has been fuelled during the COVID-19 pandemic and boosted the use of NGS testing. Likewise, the COVID-19 pandemic has favored the growth of the next-generation testing market. On the other hand, many research projects that rely on NGS were kept on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the global supply chain; these factors have reduced the demand levels for NGS instruments and reagents and resulting slightly negatively on the NGS market growth. Overall, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global next-generation sequencing market has been positive.
