DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global
Microbiome Sequencing Services Market - Segmented by Technology Type,
Application, and End User - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2018 - 2023)"
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.
The global microbiome sequencing services market is expected to register
a CAGR of 18% during the forecast period 2018-2023.
North America dominates the market due to a surge in technological
advancement in next-generation sequencing (NGS) projects in the region.
Huge Investment in Microbiome Research
The sequencing of metagenome offers a novel method in diagnosing and
treating a wide range of chronic diseases, such as oncology, etc. The
metagenome differs from person to person significantly, which is key to
its diagnostic potential, due to which the government is investing a
large number of funds for microbiome sequencing projects.
In 2007, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded USD 140
million to the Human Microbiome Project, which examines all the
microorganisms in the human body. In 2008, the European Commission
financed USD 29 million for Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract
project (MetaHIT).
The Wall Street Journal in 2016, reported that from 2011 to 2015,
venture funding in microbiome firms climbed by 458.5% to USD114.5
million. About USD 616.9 million was raised for microbiome companies in
2016, which is more than all of the venture investment in the microbiome
space between 2011 to 2015 period.
Also, rising demand for NGS, surge in genomic research, and widening
application area of microbiome sequencing, and a decline in the cost of
sequencing are the major factors driving the growth of the market.
Lack of Skilled Technicians for NGS Data Analysis
Lack of technicians in the interpretation of sequencing data is the
major factor restricting the growth of the microbiome sequencing
services market. Microbiome sequencing generates a huge amount of data,
which needs to be interpreted using advanced software.
The lack of awareness and knowledge of advanced tools of data analysis
among physicians and scientists is the major factor restricting the
growth of the global microbiome sequencing services market.
Further, government regulations and ethical & legal issues related to
NGS are the also restraining the growth of the microbiome sequencing
services market.
North America to Dominate the Microbiome Sequencing Services
Market
The microbiome sequencing services market is segmented by technology
type, application, end user, and geography. By geography, it is
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East &
Africa, and South America.
North America dominates the microbiome sequencing services market, owing
to factors, such as government support through funds for genomics
research, consistent developments in sequencing technologies, and ease
in availability of commercial solutions for NGS data analysis.
Asia-Pacific is also expected to grow tremendously during the forecast
period, owing to growing number of research studies on cancer and
inherited rare diseases, and rising demand for next-generation
sequencing for diagnosis and therapeutic applications.
