Middle East and Africa Bioinformatics Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Decrease in The Cost of Genetic Sequencing Per Base
Oral health is one of the most important aspects of maintaining the health of gums, teeth and the oral-facial system, which allows for speaking, chewing and smiling. According to World Health Organization's report on March 25th, 2020, around 2.3 billion people worldwide are suffering from caries of a permanent tooth, among which around 530 million children suffer from caries of the primary tooth. In Middle East and Africa, periodontal disease has a high prevalence among all age groups. Thereby due to rising periodontal dental disorders, the availability and usage of intraoral scanners are anticipated to boost the market's growth.
- Growing Need for Bioinformatics
As genomics-focused pharmacology continues to play a greater role in the treatment of various chronic diseases, especially cancer, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is evolving as a powerful tool for providing a deeper and more precise insight into the molecular underpinnings of individual tumors and specific receptors. Informatics is essential in biological research involving biologists who learn programming, computer programmers, mathematicians, or database managers who learn the foundations of biology.
Opportunities
- Product Development in Recent Years
The growth curve for bioinformatics market clinical applications is following an upward trend as established applications are gaining momentum and new ones are finding a foothold. Product development in the past years has helped the market size to grow. This also shows the support of the regulatory agency for allowing these products in the market.
For instance-
- In June 2021, Agilent Technologies, Inc. released a new exome design called Sure Select Human All Exon V8 that offers specific content and current coverage of protein-coding areas from Refuses, CCDS and GENCODE. Additionally, it includes exons that are challenging to capture and the TERT promoter, which are neglected by competing exomes
The product development in recent years has shown the potential of these technologies and the companies working in this market are trying to get the more advanced product in the market, which is expected to create a lucrative opportunity for market growth in the forecast period.
- Strategic Initiatives by Market Players
The demand for bioinformatics is increasing in the market owing to the increased levels of research and development along with the growth of the bioinformatics services market aided by the desire for innovative medications. Thus, the top market players have implemented a new strategy by developing new products and collaborating with other market players to improve business operations and profitability.

Restraints/Challenges
- Difficulty in Clinical Bioinformatics Analysis
The largely untapped potential of big data analytics is a feed buzz that has been exacerbated by the production of many next-generation data sets that seek to answer long-standing questions about the biology of human diseases. Although these approaches are likely to be a powerful means of unveiling new biological insights, several significant challenges currently hinder efforts to harness the power of big data. Typical challenges include the effective assessment of analytical software tools, the speeding up of the overall process using hybrid parallel computing (HPC) parallelization and acceleration technology, the advancement of automation strategies, data storage alternatives, and, finally, the development of new methods for the full utilization of results across multiple experimental conditions.
- Challenges to Implementing Bioinformatics Technology in The Clinical Labs
Bioinformatics technologies can perform massively complicated biological data analysis. This capacity simultaneously facilitates the computational tools for the organization and analysis of biological data, which helps improve diagnostic screening. The application of these powerful technologies in a clinical laboratory poses a challenge because of the data's scope, quantity and medico-technical consequences.
Various challenges of implementing next-generation sequencing in the clinical laboratory are as follows-
- One of the first areas where problems can creep in is often the most overlooked: "sample quality". Although platforms are often tested and compared using highly curated samples (such as the reference material from the Genome in a Bottle Consortium), real-world samples often present much more of a challenge and hence act as a challenge for the rise in demand
- High turn-around time is also a major challenge for the instruments working in this market
