Market Risks

  • Low Patient and provider awareness about genomics

Although the initiation of the human genome project has completed over a decade, the level of awareness and consciousness is inadequate not only among the patients but also among the services provides such as physicians.

For instance, a survey conducted by Peter Chow-White, Dung Ha, and Janessa Laskin among medical officers in Canada has found that only 35.5% of them were very knowledgeable about basic genetics while only 9% and 9.7% of them were very knowledgeable about new genetic technology, and process of genome sequencing respectively.

Along with this, another survey conducted by Birmingham WC et al in Utah has found that almost 92% of the patients don’t ask questions about genetic testing and 79% of the service providers don’t recommend the genomic test for their patients. Low-level of awareness about it might create the risk for the growth of the genomics market.

Top Market Opportunities

  • Increasing research from Government-aided genomic institutes

The National Human Genome Research Institute in the USA are planning and organizing laboratory and clinical research for human genetic diseases as well as serves as a resource for the research activities.

Here, the Division of Intramural research is the focal point involved in genomic research. It has the goal of sequencing 3 billion DNA letters which were fulfilled in 2003. Along with this, the National Institute of Plant Genome Research is also the government body engaged in biotechnological research in India.

These institutes are facilitating the research activities in genomics and significantly creating the opportunity of the growth of its market.

  • Cost effectiveness of genomic testing for diseases treatment

Through the use of genomics, the cost of the treatment can be reduced through early diagnosis. For instance, for severe combined immune deficiency, the treatment cost can be reduced up to USD 100,000 from USD 450,000 per infant if newborn screening is done at the earlier stage through the use of a hematocrit test. 

It might increase the demand for the therapeutic application of genomics and will favor the growth of its market.

Market Trends

  • Growing burden of chronic illness

The burden of chronic illnesses is expected to be 57% by the year 2020, increased from 46% of the total global burden of disease. Chronic diseases contribute to almost 75% of all global deaths.

The prevalence of genetically linked chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes is also in increasing trend. For instance, cancer is the second leading cause of death.

Globally, about 1 in 6 death is caused due to cancer, which occurs due to genetic mutation during cell multiplication and maintenance. Its burden is expected to increase to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. 

Almost 5 to 10% of the total cancer cases are due to the hereditary cancer syndromes. This rising burden of chronic diseases will significantly drive the growth of the genomics market.

  • Decrease in sequencing cost

Along with the introduction of the new advanced technology in the process of gene sequencing, the price of genome sequencing is in decreasing trend. Over the past decades, its cost has been decreased by about 99%. Its price was USD 10,000 in 2008, which was decreased to USD 1000 in 2018. 

This decreasing trend of the cost of genome sequencing is significantly favoring the growth of the genomics market.

  • High cost of genomic research

Although the price of the genome sequencing is declining, the cost of the research activities involved in the innovation for genomics is quite high. It might be due to the use of the control group used in the RCT.

For instance, in an economic analysis of 72 study participants, the cost of the genome sequencing program for the targeted group is USD 3,204 and the cost of the genome sequencing program control cohort is USD 3,501. This high cost of genomic research might restrain the growth of its market.

Technology Trends

Along with the advancement in science and technology, the following technological changes are taking place in the global genomics market:

  • Static Optical Fault Isolation Solution: It is a highly sensitive solution including both photon emission and static laser stimulation to localize the electrical failures in semiconductor devices. It is developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
  • DNA Product Studio: It is the fully automated software launched by Helix Opco LLC in 2018. It promotes the creation of applications and tests based on genomics. It facilitates the analysis of the huge amount of information collected on the topic of genetics.
  • Nanopore sequencing: It is the third generation sequencing in which a single molecule of DNA or RNA is sequenced without the use of the PCR amplification or chemical labeling of the participants. It is used in the sequencing of biopolymers.
  • CRISPR: It is the technology being used to sequence, detects and destroys the DNA of the bacteriophages. For this technique, Cas9 as an enzyme to recognize and cleave DNA strands is used.
  • Static Optical Fault Isolation Solution: It was introduced by Thermo scientific meridian which maximizes the benefits of high sensitivity probing, easy to use the software, and laser marker option.

Pricing Trends

The price of the genomic products and services depends upon the type of technology, application, cost of the genomic equipment, quality, data availability, and quantity of product.

For instance, the cost of its sequencing for cancer cases is about USD 6,841 while its cost for any other rare disease case is USD 7,050 per case because of the higher cost of equipment for rare diseases.

If its price over the time horizon the considered then it is in decreasing trend. The estimated cost of the first draft of the human genome sequence was USD 150 million worldwide in 2,000 while its price in 2018 was USD 1,000 because of the innovation in the technology of genome sequencing. 

The cost of the genome sequencing for the hearing loss ranges from USD 1,048 to USD 1,949
