Additionally, growing government funding to support research in genome-based projects would also contribute to the overall growth of the genomics market. For instance, in September 2019, the UK government created a £200 million whole genome sequencing project by forming a partnership of pharmaceutical firms and health experts to examine and sequence the genetic code of 500,000 volunteers at the UK Biobank, based in Stockport.
Hence, all the aforementioned factors are anticipated to boost the global genomics market during the forecasted period.
However, the lack of skilled professionals and the high cost of establishing and maintaining genome analysis and sequencing facilities are some of the factors likely to impede the genomics market growth.
Although the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the healthcare facility in the initial phases and had affected the overall healthcare market. However, during the pandemic, the genomics market observed significant growth. This is owing to the rise in the adoption of genomic surveillance to combat the pandemic. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed surveillance of COVID-19 in humans caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Additionally, in the Americas, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) created the COVID-19 Genomic Surveillance Regional Network in the year 2020 to strengthen as well as to establish a routine SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing and support the development of diagnostic protocols. In addition, the information from genome analysis could also be used for vaccine development and to better understand the evolution and molecular epidemiology of the SARS-CoV-2.
Furthermore, the approval of the various product for analyzing the COVID-19 genome has also propelled the genomics market during the pandemic. For instance, in June 2020, Illumina received the FDA Emergency Use Authorization for a Sequencing-Based COVID-19 Diagnostic Test “COVIDSeq”. The test includes 98 amplicons that target the full SARS-CoV-2 genome, creating accurate detection and high sensitivity.
Genomics Market Segment Analysis:

In the technology segment of genomics market, the sequencing sub-segment is expected to hold a significant market share in the year 2021. This is because of various advancements incorporated into the early available technology to provide better and more efficient results. For instance, Nanopore-based DNA sequencing is a newer technology that offers many potential advantages such as real-time analysis (for rapid insights) in fully scalable formats, analysis of native DNA or RNA, and sequencing of any length of the fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths over the current methods is likely to boost the segment market.
Additionally, the shifting focus of the market players towards the development of NGS-based whole genome sequencing panels for the detection of causative agents of various infections such as COVID-19 would also contribute to the segmental growth of the genomics market in the upcoming years. For instance, in March 2020, the Paragon Genomics team quickly developed and launched an amplicon-based NGS panel: CleanPlex® SARS-CoV-2 Panel for sequencing the whole genome of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19) on both Illumina and MGI Tech Sequencing platforms. The panels are designed to obtain complete viral genomes even from samples with very low SARS-CoV-2 viral content.
Moreover, the establishment of new sequencing laboratories could also boost the market in the upcoming years. For instance, in the year 2019, MGI, a subsidiary of BGI Group (a leading producer of clinical high-throughput gene sequencers) launched the first ""benchtop"" sequencing laboratory and automation products to accelerate genetic sequencing.
Hence, all the above-mentioned factors are anticipated to surge the market of genomics in the forthcoming years.
