Genomics market by product (instruments, consumables, services), by application (diagnostics, personalized medicines, drug discovery & development, academic research, agricultural), by technology (PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA microarrays, nucleic acid extract

Genomics is a branch of molecular biology that deals with the study of genes, chromosomes and their functions. It concerns with analysis and sequencing of individual’s genome for performing genetic mapping for disease diagnosis and treatment. Genomics involves the study of intragenomic processes such as heterosis, pleiotropy, epistasis and the interactions between loci and alleles within the genome. It includes comparative genomics, functional genomics, structural genomics, epigenomics and Pharmacogenomics. Dissection of architectural features of genes and chromosomes is referred to as structural genomics. Characterization of genes and their components encompasses functional genomics. Epigenomics is the study of complete set of epigenetic modifications which plays a vital role in gene regulation and expression. Comparative genomics is the study of evolutionary relationships between the genetic content of different species. Pharmacogenomics includes drug design ways and novel biological targets. Major applications of genomics include genomic anthropology, medicine, biotechnology and social sciences. Driving factors for genomics market include increasing prevalence of fetal diseases such cancer, diabetes and others, increasing approaches for novel genomics techniques and tools, growing geriatric population as ageing is considered as the greatest risk factor for the development of diseases such as cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Introduction of technological advancements such as next negation DNA sequencing, whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics is expected to drive the market at rapid pace.

Product segments include instruments, consumables and services. Application segment consists of drug discovery & development, personalized medicine, diagnostics, academic research and agricultural. DNA microarrays, DNA sequencing, PCR and nucleic acid extraction & purification are major technologies prevalent in the market. Personalized medicine uses individual’s genetic profile for diagnosing, preventing and treating diseases. Personalized medicine market is expected to grow during at a lucrative rate during the forecast period due to its ability to enable early detection of disease, cost effective treatments, patient compliance, drug safety and optimization of treatments.

Genomics market, by application, 2012 - 2014 (USD million)
