Middle East and Africa Long Read Sequencing Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Long-read sequencing, also known as third-generation sequencing, is a large-scale data analysis technique. This is a technology that allows DNA particles to be sequenced in real-time, resulting in long reads. These sequencing reactions are frequently approved without the use of PCR amplification. Single molecule real-time (SMRT) and nanopore sequencing are two long-read sequencing techniques.

Middle East and Africa Long Read Sequencing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• The surge in incidences of genetic disorders

The growing number of genetic disorders will contribute to market growth in the coming years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are approximately 100,000 sickle cell disease patients in the United States. The advancement of patients will pique the interest of many key companies, which is expected to propel the market's growth.

• Rising use of long-read sequencing

Long-read sequencing has numerous advantages over short or second-generation sequencing techniques, which is accelerating market growth. For instance, single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) long reads provide a comprehensive overview of the entire genome and are used to detect various genetic and structural variants. Researchers estimated in 2015 that long-read sequencing could be used to assemble dozens of bacterial and viral genomes. Aside from that, rising awareness of long-read sequencing and increased R&D investments drive market growth.

Opportunities

• Rising utilization of sequence analysis methodologies

The growing acceptance of modern medical diagnostic approaches is one of the key factors driving market growth. The growing popularity of LRS technology is also due to its portability and real-time speed. It is also used to create an accurate reference map of chromosome centromeres. Furthermore, several biotech firms are developing novel technologies that combine a new library prep method with genome analysis tools. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of LRS technology in identifying novel pathogenic mutations in human diseases with unknown genetic causes. This opens up a plethora of opportunities for researchers to apply the technology in whole-genome sequencing (WGS), allowing medical genetics to advance.

Restraints/Challenges

• Higher cost per base relative to short-read sequencing

The long-read sequencing market faces challenges due to a lack of cutting-edge genomic testing centres, costly installation processes, and a scarcity of experts with advanced diagnostic abilities. Sequencing expenses are spent on a per-base-pair basis and sequencing depth and length are frequently traded off. Longer read sequencing systems often offer poorer coverage, a higher error rate, and a higher cost per base in comparison to short read sequencing.
