Omics Lab Services Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Services (Genomics, Proteomics), Business (Hospitals), Frequency Of Service (One-off), By Product, By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global omics lab services market size was estimated at USD 69,381.85 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.72% by 2030. The omics lab services market is witnessing growth due to the factors such as increasing demand/adoption for the services and increasing participation of the different companies. For instance, in October 2022, Illumina, Inc. entered into strategic partnership with AstraZeneca to accelerate drug target discovery using AI-based genomic analysis.

The Australia market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.74% from 2022 to 2030. Amid the pandemic, a substantial number of players are engaged in commercializing diagnostic and serological (antibody) tests for COVID-19 testing & screening, directly to the consumers. These tests can be directly purchased by the consumers, typically through the company’s website. More than a dozen companies have received EUA for their DTC kits for diagnostic purposes in response to rapidly increasing COVID-19 cases.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the utility and significance of genomics in healthcare. Strong collaborations between the NHS, industry, and government in the UK have made it possible to quickly apply genomics.

Moreover, growth of the genomic data pool from research activities has enabled biologists, physicians, and patients to further investigate the genetic predisposition to certain diseases. Clinical application of this data pool is expected to transform the healthcare system with respect to the provision of more accurate, effective, and reliable disease management solutions. Although clinical use of genomic data is still in nascent stage, efforts are being made by the industrial and healthcare communities to successfully incorporate genetic data into clinical workflows.

The field of oncology has benefited most from the omics research, and one newly developed use of NGS clinical tests is for the quantification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from plasma. Numerous NGS technologies, such as Cancer Personalized Profiling by deep Sequencing, may be used. High-throughput RNA sequencing developments have brought light the importance of transcriptomics in biological and clinical research. RNA sequencing using NGS technologies or microarrays is two ways to perform transcriptomics.

Omics labs have emerged as an essential tool for the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of disease; however, lack of skilled professionals who have the ability to handle samples, supply chain, and logistics play a significant role in the sample sent to omics labs. Omics databases contain tens of thousands to millions of measurements at the molecular level.

Investigators typically start by performing feature selection, which involves choosing a subset of the measurements that seem to be related to the characteristic or result or that are assumed physiologically relevant, based on the past knowledge. A fully specified computational model may be created to predict the clinical outcome based on the omics measurements, using only this subset of the measurements.

Services Insights

Proteomics segment held the largest share in 2021. The growth of the omics lab services market is due to the high frequency of target diseases combined with variables, including the rising demand for the tailored medicines and better diagnostics in the treatment of targeted diseases. In addition, the market’s growth is supported by growing emphasis on the product usage in medication creation, biomarker research, and clinical diagnostics for the detection & treatment of the diseases.

The protein research being carried out to treat COVID-19 patients is also favorable for the market growth.

Epigenetics segment is expected to show the fastest growth throughout the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the future potential offered by the epigenetic analysis. The companies operating in the omics lab services market are focusing on undertaking endeavors to broaden their product and services portfolios for this segment. For instance, in January 2022, Eisbach Bio and MD Anderson entered into a strategic collaboration for the development of medicine targeting epigenetics in oncology.

Moreover, several advancements and innovations in epigenetics is further driving the segment growth. For instance, in April 2022, PacBio announced the release of a transformative capability that could detect DNA methylation using Sequel II Systems and Sequel II. This would further enhance access to epigenetics and support gene therapy applications as well as accelerate sample preparation.

Business Insights

Diagnostic labs segment dominated the omics lab services market in 2021and is expected to expand at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is owing to increased testing and availability of the resources for performing tests. There has been an improved reliance of the hospitals on diagnostic laboratories for testing & evaluation, which further leads to accelerated growth of the segment.

Increase in awareness about personalized medicine, rise in demand for the affordable services, and technological advancements are some of the key factors expected to boost growth of the diagnostic laboratory segment. Rise in initiatives undertaken by the government to provide various facilities, such as compensation for the diagnostic tests, is another major factor anticipated to drive the omics lab services market. Many diagnostic laboratories are working with healthcare institutes to integrate different clinical tests, such as microbiology testing.

Hospitals segment is anticipated to expand at a lucrative growth rate during the forecast period. Hospitals are an optimal healthcare setting for the diagnosis and treatment of a large spectrum of the diseases. Diagnostic centers often operate in collaboration with hospitals; hence, hospitals have an in-house diagnostic setup. Furthermore, ongoing development of the healthcare infrastructure is anticipated to enhance existing hospital facilities. Such initiatives are advantageous for the hospitals as most of the systems are installed in hospital settings, thereby reducing the time needed to send the samples to a laboratory for reference.

Frequency Of Service Insights

Continuous segment dominated the omics lab services market in 2021. The growing application of genetic technologies spans all stages of life, including the posthumous stage and old age. The application of genetic technology in healthcare raises special ethical problems that put established methods of providing treatment in jeopardy. These difficulties include the various ways that genetic information's value is defined.

Genomic tests are generally continuous, as with genetic therapy, genomic technology has a growing potential to provide revolutionary new medicines. With increasing need for the development of precision medicine, the aid of genomic testing is also growing. This was recently proven in a laboratory environment by the treatment of three fetuses with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Prenatal intervention was used in this investigation to successfully obtain a recombinant form of the missing protein.

One-off the segment is anticipated to develop at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. Genetic testing has become increasingly popular because the human genome was fully mapped only 15 years ago. A significant portion of this trend can be attributed to the crucial role genetic testing plays in precision medicine—a disease treatment and prevention strategy that aims to maximize effectiveness by taking individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle into account as well as improve next-generation sequencing methods & concurrent drops in sequencing costs.

Some genetic tests are developed to be used only once in a particular scenario. For instance, NGS technology is used by Noninvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT). The test offers advantages over other NIPT approaches, such as targeted sequencing and array-based assays, because it evaluates cfDNA fragments across the entire genome.

Product Insights

Hardware equipment segment dominated the omics lab services market in 2021 and is anticipated to expand at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. Miniaturization of the instruments, used in genomic applications, is expected to serve as a catalyst for the market growth.
