Global Whole Exome Sequencing Market 2018 - Analysis of the $800+ Million Industry
M2 - Tue Oct 28, 6:36AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3kwgp3/whole_exome) has announced the addition of the "Whole Exome Sequencing Market by Product, by Services, by Technology, by Application - Global Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. The global whole exome sequencing market is expected to reach $884.1 Million by 2018 Advances in DNA sequencing have transformed genomics and paved the way for whole exome sequencing in research. Whole exome sequencing is cost-efficient and quick, as compared to whole-genome sequencing. Sequencing the exome is also considered more effective, as exons possess 85% of disease traits. Thus, WES systems, kits, and services have seen increased adoption by researchers as they not only simplify work but also save time. Technological advancements in sequencing systems, global alliances amongst leading research institutes to boost drug discovery, and an increase in life science and R&D expenditure are the key factors that are expected to drive the growth of this market. Primary factors that are restraining the growth of this market include high instrument costs, the need for skilled professionals, and high reliance on grants and funds. The major factors driving the growth of this market include its low cost and high speed, increase in applications areas for exome sequencing technologies, global alliances amongst leading research institutes to boost drug discovery, and the entry of new players in the whole-exome sequencing market. However, the high cost of instruments, the need for skilled professionals and high reliability on grants are hindering the market's growth. The services segment has the largest share of the global whole exome sequencing market, since it has a variety of applications in all areas, including diagnostics, drug discovery and development, personalized medicine, and agriculture and animal research. Diagnostics emerged as the largest whole exome sequencing application, primarily because of an increase in the usage of exome sequencing technologies in cancer and rare disease research. Scope of the Report Product - Systems - Kits (Library Preparation, Target Enrichment) Services - Sequencing Technology - Sequencing - Synthesis Application - Cancer - Monogenic disorders Companies Mentioned - Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Ambry Genetics - Beijing Genomics Institute (Bgi) - Eurofins Genomics, Inc. - Genewiz, Inc. - Illumina, Inc. - Knome, Inc. - Macrogen, Inc. - Roche Nimblegen, Inc. - Sengenics - Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.
