Global Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Market Definition

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) seems to be the process of identifying the complete DNA sequence of an organism’s genome all at the same. This includes the sequencing of all organisms’ chromosomal DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and chloroplast DNA in plants. They are primarily used for research purposes. Genomic information is used to identify genetic disorders, track disease outbreaks, and characterize variations that contribute to cancer progression.

Though this method is typically associated with human genome sequencing, the next-generation sequencing technology can be used to identify the sequence of any species, including disease-related microbes, plants, and agriculturally prime livestock. Whole-genome sequencing can be used to identify newborn and pediatric diseases, rare tumor types, family disease pedigrees, and drug trials, among others.

Global Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Market Overview

The market overview section of this report mainly consists of the basic dynamics of the market which include drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges faced by the industry. The Global Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Market report provides an outlook on the development of the market in terms of revenue throughout the prognosis period. The global market is expected to experience remarkable growth in the upcoming years owing to the rapid advancement of technology for identifying genome sequencing, increasing number of cancer patients and genetic disorders are the primary growth drivers of the global market.

Whole Genome Sequencing is an excellent tool for understanding rare tumors. It allows the user to capture the entire range of variations, from single base changes to large chromosomal rearrangements, all at once. As the market is expanding, so has the demand for detecting cancer tumors. Furthermore, it aids in the survey of exotic regions, which are rarely captured and used to detect structural variants. The rapid turnaround time without the need for hybridization from single nucleotide variants to large deletions has created a huge demand in the newborn and pediatric sections.

This helps in the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders, thereby fueling the market growth. Moreover, increased research funding and investment programs in the genomics field have boosted demand for whole genome sequencing products, resulting in a larger market share. However, the high cost of sequencing procedures and the medical treatments associated with them, stringent regulatory standards, and high capital requirements are expected to hamper the growth of the Global Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Market over the forecast period.
