Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] Market Size

Global Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] Market reached USD 1.1 Billion and is expected to reach US$ 4.2 Billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 18.6% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Whole exome sequencing is a commonly used next-generation sequencing (NGS) procedure that involves sequencing protein-coding regions of the genome. The human exome represents less than 2% of the genome but contains about 85% known disease-related variants, making this method a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing. Exome sequencing is widely used to identify and determine genetic variants causing various diseases, such as Miller syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. It also provides a cost-effective screening approach for the diagnosis of genetic disorders.

Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] Market Dynamics

The global whole exome sequencing [WES] market growth is driven by several factors, such as increasing demand for the diagnosis of rare diseases, rising research and development in the genomics and next-generation sequencing field, and growing demand for personalized medicine.

The increasing adoption of Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] propels the global market growth.

The rising adoption of next-generation sequencing methods for predicting, treating, and monitoring various chronic diseases, such as cancer, is boosting the market's growth globally. Sequencing the cancer exome provides valuable information about the coding mutations contributing to tumor progression. As the exome represents less than 2% of the genome, cancer exome sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing. Exome sequencing also produces a more convenient data set compared to whole-genome approaches. In addition, the low cost and high speed associated with whole-exome sequencing technology, technological advancements in whole-exome sequencing techniques, and strategic alliances among leading research institutes globally, are also driving the growth of the whole-exome sequencing market. For instance, In May 2021, Baylor Genetics introduced Rapid Trio Whole Exome Sequencing, reducing its turnaround time from seven to five days. Moreover, according to the New York University research, Whole Exome Sequencing Predicts Whether Patients Respond to Cancer Immunotherapy.

The lack of skilled personnel and deprived government support are hurdles to the global Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] market growth.

However, the lack of skilled professionals and high dependability on government grants are restraining the growth of the whole-exome sequencing market.
