NGS helps determine novel and rare cancer mutations, identifies familial cancer mutation carriers, and helps find suitable targeted treatments. Therefore, it is anticipated that an upsurge in cancer cases and patients across the globe can drive the demand for clinical oncology in NGS in the country market.

In addition, the increasing healthcare spending in the U.S. is expected to propel the demand for clinical oncology NGS market. According to the Journal published by the National Library Of Medicine in May 2022, cancer care spending in the country surpassed USD 200 billion in 2020. Moreover, every year pocket spending on cancer care is estimated to be around USD 16 billion. This increased spending on cancer care is anticipated to boost the research and development activities related to NGS-based diagnostics and treatments for cancer patients.

Moreover, the increasing adoption of NGS and its clinical applications in precision oncology is anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.Various companies are launching platforms that use NGS for precision oncology and genomic insights. For instance, in June 2021, OmniSeq and LabCorp, the U.S.-based life science company, introduced OmniSeq INSIGHTsm, a next-generation sequencing test designed to advance precision oncology. Moreover, in April 2023, the U.S.-based company Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced Agilent Sure Select Cancer CGP Assay, based on NGS, for advancing precision oncology. Thus, the increasing focus of industry participants on NGS for precision oncology is expected to boost the market demand.

Technology Insights

Based on the technology, the U.S. clinical oncology next generation sequencing market is segmented into targeted sequencing & resequencing, whole genome sequencing, and whole exome sequencing.
