The typical NGS workflow involves several steps, including sample pre-processing, library preparation, sequencing, and bioinformatics. Library preparation is a crucial step in NGS workflow and involves preparing DNA or RNA samples to be compatible with a sequencer. It includes processes such as nucleic acid fragmentation, adapter ligation, and library quantitation. Numerous vendors offer a variety of NGS library preparation solutions for NGS analysis.
The growth of this market is driven by the declining costs of sequencing, the increasing prevalence of cancer and genetic disorders, the growing utilization of NGS in disease diagnostics and precision medicine, and rising R&D investments and healthcare expenditures. In addition, the increasing applications of next-generation sequencing technology and collaborations between vendors to develop automated library preparation protocols are expected to provide significant market growth opportunities.
However, the availability of alternative technologies and the low chances of identifying positive actionable mutations for precision medicine is expected to hinder the growth of this market to a certain extent. In addition, factors such as the regulatory and standardization concerns in diagnostic testing and the limited expertise and sequencing capabilities of small & mid-sized laboratories are the major challenges for the growth of this market.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a massively parallel sequencing technology that offers ultra-high throughput, scalability, and speed. This technology is ideal for monitoring the COVID-19 virus and identifying new mutations. The SARS-CoV-2 virus mutated over time, resulting in genetic variation in the population of circulating viral strains. The NGS technology has been successful in identifying the emerging new strains of the virus and helped healthcare institutions take appropriate actions.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the NGS library preparation market by increasing the adoption of NGS for various applications, including epidemiology, metagenomic analysis, and diagnostics. Furthermore, various companies started developing and launching new NGS-based diagnostic tests to detect the virus. For instance, in April 2021, QIAGEN N.V. (Germany) launched its QIAseq DIRECT SARS-CoV-2 Kit, a viral genome enrichment and library preparation solution for sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome. Similarly, in March 2020, Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (U.S.) launched a COVID-19 diagnostic test based on NGS technology.
In the coming years, NGS is expected to play an important role in epidemiological research to distinguish between COVID-19, influenza, and other viruses. These factors are expected to drive the demand for NGS technology, subsequently boosting the growth of the NGS library preparation market.
