Global Single-cell Genome Sequencing Market Size

Single-cell Genome Sequencing Market Analysis

The Single-cell Genome Sequencing Market is projected to register a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive effect on the studied market. Various research studies have been published about the impact of COVID-19 on single-cell sequencing. For Instance, in September 2020, research published titled 'Single-cell landscape of Immunological Responses in Patients with COVID-19' stated that coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the relationship between disease severity and the host immune response is not fully understood. When single-cell sequencing was performed, most cell types in patients with COVID-19 showed a strong interferon-α response and an overall acute inflammatory response. Such studies provide inside into the application of single-cell sequencing on COVID-19. Similarly, in February 2022, another research study titled 'Integrating Single-Cell Sequencing Data with GWAS Summary Statistics Reveals CD16+ Monocytes and Memory CD8+T Cells Involved in Severe COVID-19' stated that there was a major genetics-modulated immunological shift between mild and severe infection, including an elevated expression of genetics-risk genes, increase in inflammatory cytokines, and of functional immune cell subsets aggravating disease severity, which provides novel insights into parsing the host genetic determinants that influence peripheral immune cells in severe COVID-19. Hence, such studies provide insight into COVID-19 and thus increase the market growth in the future.

Factors such as increasing diseases, initiatives by key market players, and increased funding are expected to increase the market growth. Rising disease prevalence is also likely to boost the drug development processes in the region, ultimately leading to the studied market expansion owing to the benefits offered by the devices. For Instance, as per the article titled ' United States Tax Dollars Funded Every New Pharmaceutical in the Last Decade' published in September 2020 2.2 million published research related to the biological drugs or targets of which 21% acknowledged funding from National Institutes of Health (NIH) of more than than USD 230 Billion. Such funding in the biotechnology field increases the research and the usage of PCR devices (including single-cell sequencing), boosting the market's growth. The collaboration among the market players and research institutes for the research and development of new diagnostics and treatment methods with the help of the sequencing method is also boosting the market's growth. For Instance, in January 2020, Illumina and Israel-based Danyel Biotech reported that scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel are now using Illumina's next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Weizmann has been a pioneer of single-cell genomics, and Illumina's technology will enable the Institute's researchers to continue advancing this fast-growing field of research. The newly-installed system also expands genomic research capacity within Israel. The institutes are using NovaSeq 6000 system to investigate how cells within the immune system interact with healthy tissue and tumor cells. Since the use of NovaSeq 6000 enables researchers to sequence the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome (RNA sequence), it is expected to drive the growth of the studied market. Thus, due to the abovementioned factors, the market is likely to grow in the future.

However, analytical challenges related to single-cell genome sequencing will hinder the market's growth.
