Increasing Prevalence of Genetic Disorders

Growing concern for the prevalence of genetic disorders, along with the concern amongst individuals for the increasing monogenic diseases is anticipated to create a surge in demand for long read sequencing methods. In the statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), over 10,000 of the diseases are known to be monogenic caused by single error in a single gene in the human DNA. The long read sequencing techniques are highly recommended in cases where repeat disease or complex chromosomal rearrangements are suspected as it can further assist patients in monitoring their condition. The process therefore helps to empower patients to more readily work with healthcare providers to manage their conditions and improve care. Such factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the global long read sequencing market.

However, concerns regarding the high cost of the long read sequencing procedure along with the lack of proper healthcare infrastructure in various countries are some of the factors anticipated to restrict the growth of the global long read sequencing market.

This report also provides the existing competitive scenario of some of the key players of the global long read sequencing market, which includes company profiling of Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ: PACB), FG Technologies, Stratos Genomics, QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN), Takara Bio Inc. (TYO: 4974), Quantapore, Inc. and BaseClear B.V. The profiling enfolds key information of the companies which encompasses business overview, products and services, key financials and recent news and developments. On the whole, the report depicts detailed overview of the global long read sequencing market that will help industry consultants, equipment manufacturers, existing players searching for expansion opportunities, new players searching possibilities and other stakeholders to align their market centric strategies according to the ongoing and expected trends in the future.
