Among all the offerings studied in this report, the consumables segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period. The high CAGR of the segment is attributed to the recurring use of consumables and the rising demand for microbial gene profiling are driving the demand for consumables in the metagenomics market. Kits and regents are widely used for microbial gene profiling as it requires a high volume of samples and repetitive procedures.

Among all the technologies studies in this report, in 2024, 16S sequencing segment is accounted for the larger share of 39.5%. The rising focus on understanding the human microbiome and microbial communities in various environments has led to increased demand for techniques such as 16S sequencing. 16S sequencing helps in identifying new bioactive compounds in environmental samples, advances drug discovery and biotechnological applications. The increasing usage of 16S sequencing by microbiologists is contributing to the growth of largest share of the segment.

Among all the applications studied in this report, in 2024, environmental application segment is accounted for the largest share of 26.6%. The segment’s larger share can be attributed to the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural activities. Growing urbanization and industrialization have resulted in the production and release of a variety of harmful organic and inorganic pollutants into the environment. These harmful substances build up and survive for lengthy periods, degrading the surrounding environment. This creates a demand for metagenomic solutions for environmental research purposes.

An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the global metagenomics market provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region. North America is projected to register the highest CAGR of 16.9% during the forecast period. The fastest growth of the market is due to the growing focus on the development of personalized medicines and increasing research activities in the field of microbial genomics are driving the demand for metagenomics products in the region. Additionally, advancements in sequencing technology and declining cost of sequencing technology are further expected to drive the metagenomics market in the region.
