The NGS Automation Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2022–2029 to reach $1.33 billion by 2029. NGS automation workstations are automated liquid handling instruments that automate the NGS library preparation. Automation enables researchers to improve their library quality by generating consistent, reliable, and reproducible NGS data. NGS automation also enhances cost-efficiency and reduces the duration of the process. Additionally, NGS automation reduces the risk of contamination by limiting manual interaction with the reagents and samples.
Manual NGS library preparation is highly labor-intensive; hence, there has been a rising demand for automation in NGS workflow to increase efficiency and reduce errors.
The growth of this market is attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for automation in NGS workflow, the rising incidences of cancer, and the increasing R&D investments and healthcare expenditure. In addition, the increasing applications of next-generation sequencing and the rising number of collaborations between companies to develop library preparation protocols are expected to provide significant growth opportunities for this market.
However, the high cost of automation workstations is expected to restrain the growth of this market to a notable extent. In addition, factors such as regulatory & standardization concerns in diagnostic testing and the requirement of high-skilled personnel for operating automation software are the major challenges to the growth of this market
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of new COVID-19 variants has highlighted the importance of next-generation sequencing in identifying and keeping track of the Sars-COV-2 virus mutations. The threat of new COVID-19 variants stills persists, and scientists are striving to identify different emerging variants. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) plays a vital role in tracking the development and spread of new variants of the Sars-COV-2 virus as it provides precision at the nucleotide level.
The development of rapid, highly-automated NGS research tools has had a significant impact on monitoring the evolution of the Sars-COV-2 virus. NGS is a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can analyze an entire genome and detect emerging virus variants. NGS is expected to play an important role in epidemiological research to distinguish between COVID-19, influenza, and other viruses in the coming years. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the NGS industry, thereby boosting the demand for NGS automation.
Furthermore, many NGS-based diagnostic tests were also developed during the pandemic. For instance, in June 2020, COVIDSeq, an NGS-based test from Illumina Inc. (U.S.), received emergency use authorization from the U.S. FDA for qualitative detection and diagnosis of COVID-19. Similarly, Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited (U.K.) and SwabSeq by Octant, Inc. (U.S.) developed an NGS-based test—LamPORE—to diagnose COVID-19.
NGS diagnostics are currently utilized in a relatively limited way, but they may become more frequently employed if they obtain regulatory approval from countries and demonstrate more effectiveness than other test methods.
There are huge opportunities for the growth of the NGS automation market as more countries move to implement sequencing programs to better understand emerging pathogens and their effects on humans and animals.

Workstation/Robotic Platform Segment to Dominate Market
In 2022, the workstation/robotic platform segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the NGS automation market. The large share of this segment is attributed to the benefits offered by workstations during library preparation (such as high efficiency, low turnaround time, reduction in per sample costs, high reproducibility) and the increasing demand for the automation of NGS by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
Drug Discovery Segment to Dominate Market
In 2022, the drug discovery segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the NGS automation market. The large share of this segment is attributed to the increasing utilization of NGS for identifying novel drug targets and developing therapeutic techniques that target specific genes and proteins, such as targeted therapies, gene therapies, and oligonucleotide therapies.
Whole Genome Sequencing Segment to Dominate Market
In 2022, the whole genome sequencing segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the NGS automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to factors such as the increasing need for automation in WGS to reduce per sample costs and the increasing applications of WGS in the identification of inherited disorders, characterization of the mutations that drive cancer progression, and tracking the outbreaks of diseases.
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies Segment to Dominate Market
In 2022, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the NGS automation market. The large share of this segment is attributed to factors such as the increasing pharmaceutical & biotechnology R&D expenditure, growing demand for new drug discovery, and the increasing adoption of advanced NGS automation workstations by pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies.
Asia-Pacific: The Fastest Growing Market
Asia-Pacific is slated to register the highest growth rate in the NGS automation market during the forecast period. The high market growth in Asia-Pacific is attributed to the increasing prevalence of various chronic & infectious diseases, increasing government focus on sequencing projects in the region, a large number of patients with gene-associated disorders, and growing research activities for the development of personalized medicines.
