Market Definition

Whole exome is a genomic technique for sequencing all of the protein-coding region of genes in a genome. Whole exome sequencing (WES) is available to patients who are searching for a unifying diagnosis for multiple medical conditions. A laboratory process that is used to determine the nucleotide sequence primarily of the exonic (or protein-coding) regions of an individual’s genome and related sequences, representing approximately 1% of the complete DNA sequence, called WES. Whole-exome sequencing is a widely used whole exome sequencing (WES) method that involves sequencing the protein-coding regions of the genome. The human exome represents less than 2% of the genome, but contains ~85% of known disease-related variants, 1 making this method a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing

North America Whole Exome Sequencing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing Diagnostics Applications of Whole Exome Sequencing

There are over 7,000 identified rare diseases and approximately 80% are linked to genetic causes, diagnosing rare disease patients can often be challenging – resulting in lengthy, expensive, and emotional diagnostic odysseys.

Hence, diagnostic applications of WES is expected to propel the market size and is expected to act as driver for the global whole exome sequencing market in the forecast period.

• Growing Usage of Targeted Sequencing Methods

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is evolving as a powerful tool for providing a deeper and more precise insight at molecular underpinnings of individual tumours and specific receptors as genomics-focused pharmacology continues to play a greater role in the treatment of various chronic diseases especially cancer.

NGS offers advantages in accuracy, sensitivity and speed compared to traditional methods that have the potential to make a significant impact on the field of oncology. The need to order multiple tests to identify the causative mutation is eliminated because NGS can assess multiple genes in a single assay.

Opportunity

• Increasing Product Launch in Recent Years

Market players are focusing on launch of new products in whole exome sequencing due to increasing demand for whole exome sequencing techniques. Advancement in the technology is helping the market players for multiple launches of products.

The product launches in the recent years have shown the potential of this technologies and the companies working on this market are trying to get more advanced product in the market which will act as opportunity for the market and will propel the market in forecast period.

Challenges/ Restraints

• Cyber Security Concern in Genomics

Software is known to contain vulnerabilities caused by imperfect code, misconfiguration among other and NGS-related software, used to operate sequencing and laboratory equipment or carry out the bioinformatics analyses, is no exception. Software vulnerabilities are exploited to gain unauthorised access to computer systems or networks, leak data, crash or otherwise disrupt various services.

These types of incidences about data breach and cyber threat associated with the whole exome sequencing is expected to impede the market growth in the forecast period.

• Lack of skilled professionals

The interpretation of whole-exome sequencing (WES) data requires expertise in genomic informatics and clinical medicine to ensure the accurate and safe reporting of findings. The first step of WES involves the acquisition of high-quality genomic DNA (gDNA) from biological samples, most commonly extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. Professionals should have information about extraction of gDNA. In addition, the preparation of an exome enrichment library is required in WES which is not known to many healthcare specialists.

The professionals are lacking skills are not suitable for performing whole exome sequencing as the diagnostic samples of patients are of keen importance. The need for skilled healthcare has increased. Thus, the lack of skilled professionals to perform whole exome sequencing acts as challenge for the growth of the market.

Recent Development

• In March, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the CE-IVD marked Ion Torrent Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer, an automated, next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform that delivers results in a single day. It is designed for use in clinical laboratories, the fully validated system enables users to perform both diagnostic testing and clinical research on a single instrument. This has helped the company to make advancements in its product portfolio
