Market dynamics
4 factors across 2 forcesIncreasing Applications of Genome Sequencing in Disease Diagnostics and Precision Medicine
Personalized/precision medicine uses an individual’s genomic information to offer targeted treatment. The synthesis of genes can rapidly sequence large sections of a person’s genome and aid in the formulation of precision medicine, generating cost-effective alternatives for existing therapies and allowing for novel treatments in multiple areas, including infectious diseases, drug discovery, and reproductive health, among others. Personalized medicine analyzes molecules, individual genes, and networks and translates them into an overall output for the systems of the human body.
Furthermore, with the utilization of sequencing technologies in precision medicine, cancer treatment and diagnosis are also advancing significantly. New targeted cancer treatments that use genomic data to provide patient-specific treatments are known as precision oncology, a rapidly developing field that has already become a part of mainstream clinical practices. It involves the molecular profiling of cancer cells to identify targetable alterations, also known as biomarkers. Quick and reliable sequencing of multiple genes at once is possible with sequencing. Thus, the increasing inclination toward personalized medicine-based diagnosis and treatment is expected to create opportunities for market growth.

Decreasing Costs of Sequencing Procedures
Sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence in a DNA or RNA sample. The advent of advanced sequencing technologies such as NGS, nanopore, and single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing has accelerated biological and medical research and discovery, allowing biologists and medical scientists to collect massive amounts of DNA sequence data rapidly and cost-effectively. In the past few years, the availability of advanced sequencing technologies has lowered sequencing costs and significantly reduced the time required for genome sequencing. According to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the cost of sequencing a human genome decreased from USD 29,092 in 2010 to USD 562 in 2021, significantly increasing the adoption of sequencing kits & reagents.
