In terms of product, the instruments segment dominated the market in 2023, with a revenue share of 59%. This dominance can be primarily attributed to the accelerated development and adoption of technologically advanced instruments and solutions, specifically designed to keep pace with the dynamic changes in healthcare technological advancements. This segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 16.23% over the forecast period due to the increased focus of market players on developing and manufacturing these instruments. Such efforts aim to expand their market presence and seize opportunities to enter new markets.
In terms of technology, the PCR segment dominated the market in 2023 with a revenue share of 29%. Due to heavy investments in R&D, PCR is a widely recognized technology when it comes to genome sequencing, highly coveted by market leaders and research institutes. NGS is poised to emerge as the fastest-growing technology segment with a CAGR of 17.14% over the forecast period. This remarkable growth can be attributed to extensive R&D activities and its diverse applications in cancer-related investigations.
Genome sequencing has evolved significantly over the past few years due to constant technological advancements. For instance, in March 2023, researchers at ETH Zurich used a new approach using single-cell genome sequencing to analyze the DNA from two different T-cells that were obtained from the same period. This sequencing data revealed 28 somatic mutations that differentiated the two T-cells and identified any mitochondrial DNA changes. It was inferred that this new method could potentially allow scientists to study various impacts of somatic mutations in a host of diseases.
The workflow segment is divided into genomic analysis, single cell isolation, and sample preparation. The genomic analysis segment dominated the market in 2023, with a market size of 71%. This dominance can be attributed to the recent surge in funding for research and development capabilities and the widespread adoption of genomic analysis products. As a result, this segment is projected to experience the fastest CAGR of 16.82% during the forecast period.
These recent developments have also created new opportunities for mutation rate quantification, rare cell type identification, and other diagnoses and treatments. Genomic analysis allows comprehensive identification, measurement, and comparison of genomic features like DNA sequence, gene expression, and other regulatory and functional annotations. This analysis allows companies to study cells in depth, ensuring lucrative growth for this segment. For instance, a research publication released on 30th May 2023, showcased how genomic analysis studies have revealed candidate genes associated with milk production and adaptive traits in goat breeds. These findings exemplify the potential and significance of genomic analysis in uncovering valuable insights in diverse fields of research.
The disease area segment is divided into cancer, immunology, prenatal diagnosis, neurobiology, microbiology, and others. The cancer segment dominated the market in 2023 with a revenue share of 36%. The increasing prevalence of prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer is projected to generate lucrative opportunities for market growth. Notably, according to the American Cancer Society, cancer ranks as the second leading cause of mortality in the U.S.
With an increase in cancer incidences, there has been a complementary increase in the number of research studies and experiments being conducted. Therefore, rise in cancer incidences is also causing a growth in the SCGS market. For instance, in October 2023, researchers from UBC and the BC Cancer Research Institute conducted cancer-related research, which showed that single cell genome sequencing provided new insights into deadly cancers. The researchers were able to sequence the genomes of individual cells from the biopsies of 158 BC Cancer patients, allowing them to observe the processes of evolution within each individual cell.
The application segment is divided into circulating cells, cell differentiation/reprogramming, genomic variation, subpopulation characterization, and others. The circulating cells segment dominated the market in 2023, with a revenue share of 30%. This is due to an increase in clinical application of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as biomarkers for cancer detection, used as genomic profilers for sequence mutations and other such applications.
CTCs allow blood circulation within the primary tumor and regulate tumor metastasis to fight cancer. Due to increasing R&D opportunities and growing number of research, studies, and clinical trials, the circulating cells segment is forecasted to grow at a significant CAGR of 16.26% over the coming years. For instance, in January 2023, researchers at IIT Delhi worked in collaboration with Fluidigm Corporation, US, to develop an innovative and deep dictionary learning to detect circulating cells in the bloodstream, called unCTC.
The prenatal diagnosis segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 17.15% over the forecast period owing to the increasing number of medical tests and procedures that are performed during pregnancy to detect potential health issues or abnormalities in the developing fetus coupled with higher resolution and accuracy of SCGS compared to traditional sequencing methods.
The end-use segment is divided into academic & research laboratories, biotechnology & biopharmaceutical companies, clinics, and others. The academic & research laboratories segment dominated the market in 2023, with a revenue share of 73%. This growth is attributed to the rise in genomic centers, increase in life science research funding, and growing number of medical colleges and institutions in major regions.
The biotechnology & biopharmaceutical companies segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to the increasing dependency of medical institutions and hospitals on these companies for research access, results, and other equipment and related contingencies. Due to their strong market presence and desire to enter the single-cell genome sequencing market, many biotechnology companies are pursuing different competitive strategies to stretch their lead. As a result, this segment is anticipated to grow significantly.
North America dominated the regional market in 2023, with a revenue share of 48%. This dominance can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases in the region. In addition, the continuous advancements in technology and research and development efforts by companies in North America have contributed to this lead. Moreover, the rise in the number of genomic clinics in the region has further boosted its position in the market.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 17.47% over the forecast period. One of the primary drivers of the growth is the rising geriatric population, leading to an increased prevalence of chronic diseases among patients. In addition, the region is anticipated to witness significant advancements in healthcare infrastructure, driven by developing countries' efforts to boost their economies.
