The U.S. epigenetics market size is anticipated to reach USD 13.10 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing prevalence of cancer and chronic diseases, advancements in epigenetic research and technologies, rising investment in biomedical research, and increasing adoption of personalized medicine are anticipated to increase the demand for epigenetics over the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on the market. The pandemic spurred a significant increase in research activities related to understanding the virus and its effects on human health. This included epigenetic research to study how COVID-19 affects gene expression and immune responses. Consequently, there was increased funding from both government and private sectors for epigenetic studies related to COVID-19.
Moreover, companies have increased investments in the development of epigenetics products. Many biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have increased their research and development budgets to explore the role of epigenetics in disease mechanisms and treatment responses. This influx of funding has accelerated the pace of discoveries and innovations in the field. The transition from external funding to domestic investment in health systems underscores the need for innovative solutions. Epigenetics, embedded in advancing healthcare, is projected to transform the phase by offering solutions for improving health outcomes.
However, the growth of the market is constrained by a scarcity of skilled professionals. The complex nature of epigenetics demands a deep understanding of genetics, molecular biology, and data analysis. This shortage can decelerate research & technological progress, hinder complex data analysis crucial for insights, slow clinical translation, and hamper educational initiatives. This is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market to a certain extent.
