Short-read Sequencing Market Report Scope

Increasing demand for personalized medicine and companion diagnostics is anticipated to boost the industry growth. Short reads are generated massively in a single run and the technology is easy to use and inexpensive. These advantages are projected to further fuel growth. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic involved increased exposure to the new strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which displayed a high level of contagiousness and resistance to drugs and treatment. Early detection of the virus variant lineage was essential to treat the viral infection and improve public health prospects. Although the market was negatively affected in 2020 due to the lockdown strictures, genome sequencing methods witnessed robust demand for virus characterization and this had a positive impact on the global short-read sequencing industry in 2021. In addition, the pandemic led to increased awareness about short-read techniques, which coupled with the development of cost-effective genome sequencing approaches is expected to boost the market revenue.

The increase in demand and usage of cancer therapeutics has significantly enhanced the adoption of short-read technologies for companion diagnostics. Short-read sequencing is a rapid method for the detection of genetic abnormalities. It is useful in the diagnosis of genetic deformities. Moreover, the high throughput nature of the short-reads enables the sequencing of millions of genome fragments simultaneously in each run, which is projected to drive the adoption of short-read sequencing-based approaches. These methods are also considered to be an ideal choice for targeted therapies and precision medicine due to the competence of short-read platforms to measure different biomarkers and map genomic sequences in a single test.

Strategic initiatives undertaken by key market players are expected to boost the market in the near future. For instance, in June 2022, Element Biosciences launched its AVITI 150-Cycle Sequencing Kit, designed for short-read sequencing applications including single-cell RNA-seq, and bulk RNA-seq, among others.

The increase in the demand for drug discovery and development for chronic illnesses such as cancer boosts the demand for short-read technologies. Similarly, a rise in the R&D for genomic research drives the market. Moreover, increasing adoption of short-read techniques due to their cost-effectiveness and short run times boosts the global market. For instance, in October 2022, Illumina, Inc. launched the NovaSeq X sequencing system for genomic and clinical discoveries generating 20000+ genomes per year. The cost of the machine was reduced to USD 200.
