Whole Exome Sequencing Market Analysis

Whole exome sequencing is the next-generation technique that is widely preferred as a substitute for whole genome sequencing due to its advantages. As the whole sequencing technique reduces the time and cost of analyzing genetics, it also offers a reduction of time spent in the trial and error for the drug formulation. The next-generation sequencing has enabled higher results of the analysis for genotypic and phenotypic relations among the human populations, helping in the development of genetics information for drug development. The significant reduction in the prices and rising technology is leading to the shift towards emphasizing drug development through whole-exome sequencing.

Whole Exome Sequencing Market Overview

Exome sequencing is a widely used technique, and it contains approximately 85% analysis of the variants or mutation-causing diseases. Thus, it is widely used for applications such as genetic disease and population genetics. According to the Genetic Disorders UK, it is estimated that in the UK, nearly one in twenty-five children are diagnosed with a genetic disorder. It also allows researchers to access coding for the tumor-affected regions to diagnose cancer. Moreover, various programs are undergoing to secure and implement precision medicine. For instance, Japan’s National Cancer Center’s genome sequencing and TOP-GEAR genetic testing projects are utilizing data to look for clinical applications to treat cancer. Along with the projects, the private sector and academic institutes have collaborated and are working on the MASTER KEY project. The project is currently working to optimize genomic medicine for rare cancers.

Whole Exome Sequencing Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Need for Molecular Diagnosis to Favor Market Growth

Due to the benefits of whole-exome sequencing, it is utilized as a diagnostic tool in regular practice. The technique is mainly utilized to diagnose genetic diseases and cancer. The whole-exome sequencing technique is considered ideal for targeted management of complex conditions such as epilepsy, neuropathy, and other genetic diseases. In addition, whole-exome sequencing allows complete analysis of nearly 23,000 genes in the human genome with the help of next-generation sequencing in a single run. Whole-exome sequencing is advantageous in the fields of research, diagnostics, and clinical settings. Thus, the wide application of whole-exome sequencing in the field of molecular diagnostics and clinical diagnostics is a major drivers of the global whole exome sequencing market share.

Development of Personalized Medicine

The advancement in next-generation sequencing is leading attention toward personalized medicine or precision medicine. The ability to study an individual's entire exome allows medical professionals to tailor treatment regimens based on each patient's unique genetic makeup and disease susceptibility. This personalized approach to healthcare provides the opportunity for extra effective and targeted therapies, leading to improved patient outcomes. Whole exome sequencing has been more widely used in clinical settings due to its increased affordability and accessibility as a result of developments in sequencing technologies and data analysis tools. Thus, the increasing demand for whole exome sequencing due to the rising recognition of the benefits of personalized care is shaping the future of healthcare.
