The global genome (DNA) sequencing market size was valued at USD 4.9 billion in 2020 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rapid advances in sequencing technology and analytics.
Genome (DNA) sequencing is a method that allows several DNA strands to be sequenced simultaneously. Genome sequencing technology aids in the sequencing of an organism's whole genome in order to determine the order or sequence of DNA nucleotides or bases coded with letters including As, Gs, Cs, and Ts. Genome sequencing methods made it feasible to investigate genetics, biomarkers, forensics, customized medicine, and other fields. This technology aids in the transition from traditional procedures to customized medications with the use of genetics. It is a widely utilized method for whole-genome sequencing. In March 2021, Sysmex Corporation introduced the XR-Series automated haematology analyzer, a next-generation flagship model in the haematology industry, and the XQ-Series automated haematology analyzer, a small 3-part WBC differential model.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive influence on the market, as it increased the demand for DNA sequencing technology in the development of treatments and diagnostics. For example, the FDA approved the Helix COVID-19 NGS test in August 2020 under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use only by Helix Laboratory. It is an amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens from people suspected of COVID-19. As a result of the expanding DNA sequencing-based research and development efforts in the development of COVID-19 diagnostic tools or effective therapies, the market is expected to continue to expand at a substantial rate throughout the forecast period.

On the basis of technology, the genome (DNA) sequencing market is segmented into next-generation sequencing, third generation DNA sequencing, microarray, non-sanger’s sequencing, sanger sequencing, and polymerase chain reaction. The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to radical advances in technology with the declining cost of sequencing. Furthermore, NGS technology is gaining traction as a routine clinical diagnostic test, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which boosts the segment. The third generation DNA sequencing segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period. This approach solves the drawbacks of second-generation procedures by allowing for simple sample preparation without the requirement of quick PCR amplification. It also provides lengthy reads in hundreds of kilobase range for the discovery of repeated spots in complicated genomes.
In terms of applications, the market is divided into research, diagnostic, and others. The diagnostic segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market in the coming years. Genome (DNA) sequencing has varied applications in clinical research and the development of cancer diagnostics and treatments. Doctors and businesses understand the importance of these technologies in companion diagnostics and precision medicine. The research segment accounts for a significant market share, owing to high availability of funding and investments in the field of DNA sequencing.
Based on types, the genome (DNA) sequencing market is segregated into services and products. Several sequencing problems, such as unequal base distributions and numerous hairpin loops, are solved by sequencing services. The services segment is expected to expand at a high rate during the forecast period. Service providers have patented reagents and efficient technological platforms that provide accurate results, along with highly experienced personnel support with client-specific requests. The products segment is expected to be a rapidly-growing segment during the forecast period, due to ongoing release of reagents and kits to make WGS accessible and inexpensive. For example, Illumina Inc. released the NovaSeq 6000 v1.5 Reagent Kit in August 2020, which made WGS technology cost-effective and accessible to all laboratories, lowering the cost of sequencing a human genome to USD 600.
On the basis of end-users, the market is fragmented into research institutes, pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies, and healthcare facilities & diagnostic centres. The research institutes segment is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period, owing to the widespread use of next-generation sequencing and sanger technology in academic and institutional research. The healthcare facilities & diagnostic centres segment is expected to grow rapidly, due to increasing application of genome (DNA) sequencing in clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.
In terms of regions, the genome (DNA) sequencing market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period, owing to high investments in R&D and continuous technological developments by key players. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to presence of a large customer base in the region. For example, GenapSys, a California-based company, secured USD 75 million in February 2020 to fund its tabletop DNA sequencer to promote coronavirus management.
