Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Offering, Company, Throughput, Technology Type, Sequencing, Application, End User, and Country Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2023-2033
Global NGS Market: Industry Overview
The global NGS market was valued at $6.76 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $28.47 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.97% during the forecast period 2023-2033. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing adoption of NGS in various research and diagnostics fields, the growing prevalence of non-communicable disorders, and the advancement in the performance of NGS platforms.
Market Lifecycle StageThe global NGS market is highly consolidated. This market still holds significant potential for growth as technological developments in NGS platforms and initiatives to integrate genomics in healthcare are ongoing. The opportunity for growth of the global NGS market lies in the development of economical and portable technologies.
Impact of COVID-19NGS has played a crucial role in the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Sequencing the viral genome has helped in tracking the spread of different variants and understanding their genetic characteristics, which has been essential for public health efforts, vaccine development, and treatment strategies. NGS has been employed in studies investigating the genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 and its severity. By sequencing the genomes of affected individuals, researchers have sought to identify genetic variations associated with the risk of infection, disease progression, and response to treatment.
However, while NGS testing shot up in the research laboratories studying the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, NGS testing in the clinical setting witnessed a significant drop. The global supply chain for NGS instruments, consumables, and reagents experienced severe disruptions due to the pandemic. Manufacturing and shipping delays impacted the availability of NGS products and tests, especially in developing regions such as the Middle East, Africa, or Rest-of-the-World.
