Market Insights

Five years ago, genomic sequencing was restricted to the research environment. Now, it is increasingly used in clinical practice, and over the next five years, genomic data from over 60 million patients is expected to be generated within healthcare. Genomic sequencing is rapidly transitioning into clinical practice, and implementation into healthcare systems has been supported by substantial government investment, totaling over US$ 4 billion in at least 14 countries. These national genomic-medicine initiatives are driving transformative change under real-life conditions while simultaneously addressing barriers to implementation and gathering evidence for broader adoption, thereby driving the market growth.
The UK has announced the world’s largest genome project as a part of 200 million public–private collaboration between charities and pharma. The UK has already developed the largest genome database in the world through the 100,000 Genomes Project. Led by Innovate UK as a part of UK Research and Innovation, the project will fund researchers and industry to combine data and real-world evidence from the UK health services and create new products and services that diagnose diseases earlier and more efficiently.
In November 2018, Stilla Technologies announced that it had completed a US$ 18.3 million (EUR 16 million) Series A financing round led by Illumina Ventures. The company will use the funds to commercialize its Naica digital PCR system and develop clinical applications.

In August 2018, Boston, a Massachusetts-based company, announced that it landed US$ 4.3 million in seed funding, and it would be partnering with Veritas Genetics, a genome sequencing company. The funds will support the company’s mission to usher in the era of personal genome sequencing by creating a trusted, secure, and decentralized marketplace for genomic data.
In April 2020, MedGenome—a Bengaluru-based genetic diagnostics, research, and data company—announced that it had raised US$ 55 million (about INR 419 crore) in a new round of funding, led by global impact investment firm LeapFrog Investments. Also, MedGenome claims to have built the largest database of South Asian genetic variants in genetic diagnostics in India and research partnerships. It has completed over 200,000 genomic tests to date and obtained samples from more than 550 hospitals and 6,000 clinicians across India.

Thus, due to the continuous funding by the manufacturers and government in the field of genomics, the sequencing reagent market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period.

Declining Cost of Sequencing Procedures Contributes Significantly to Market Growth

The cost of genome sequencing has been dropping radically, nearly a million-fold in the past six-seven years. In the recent years, next generation sequencing price have declined substantially. For instance, first whole human genome sequencing cost over US$ 3.7 billion in 2000 and took more than a decade for the completion. However, the costs for the same in recent years has reduces to US$ 1,000 and the process requires a smaller number of days. In 2000, cost for sequencing was US$ 3.7 billion, which dropped down to US$ 10 million in 2006 and declined to US$ 5,000 in 2012. The decline in the cost can be checked by the cost to sequence a genome diverging drastically around 2008, falling from approximately US$ 10 million to nearly US$ 1,000 at the present date.
Many of the testing services cost a couple hundred dollars and the lowered cost and higher speed could not only give them a larger margin in profits but the ability to process faster and possibly bring in a higher load of consumers. The latest machines offered by Illumina are lower priced devices and available in two models—NovaSeq 5000 for US$ 850,000 and the NovaSeq 6000 for US$ 985,000.
The rapid reduction in costs has now helped in clinical research, but even greater speed and a lowered price point will likely be enticing to health startups for the help of consumers. In 2003, the first sequencing of the whole human genome cost approximately US$ 2.7 billion; however, DNA sequencing company, Illumina has launched the latest and advanced machine for the whole genome sequencing, and it costs less than US$ 100. The price for genome sequencing has been in continuous free fall since the establishment. In 2006, Illumina’s first machine, which was used for the sequencing of a human genome, cost US$ 300,000, and in 2014, the company revealed that the cost of the same sequencing has been reduced to US$ 1,000. Major market players such as Illumina and Roche have introduced breakthrough technologies that have enabled the cost and time reduction in the sequencing.
In 2003, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium started genome analysis by sequencing a complete human genome. The sequencing cost approximately US$ 2.6 billion (EUR 2.3 billion). By 2008, costs dropped to lower than US$ 1.4 million (EUR 1 million) per genome. The cost of the exome sequencing has also become cheaper. It costs US$ 400 to US$ 500 to sequence an exome, and US$ 1,000 to US$ 1,200 to sequence a genome. Owing to factors such as advances in the field of genomics, development in different methods and strategies for sequencing, there is a notable decline in the cost of sequencing.
