Further key findings from the report suggest:
- Kits and reagents formed the largest segment by product in 2017 owing to frequent usage at various steps in microbial genomic studies
- Surplus growth in genomics database with respect to types and numbers has led to rising demand for better data analysis solutions. As a result, the sequencing and data analytics services segment is expected to emerge as a lucrative source of revenue generation during the forecast period
- Function driven technology held the major revenue share in 2017. Development of new screening procedures that facilitate rapid screening of large clone libraries has enabledfunctional detection of novel enzymes from metagenomes
- Advancements in genetic tools have broadened the application scope of metagenomics to include targeting microbes responsible for inducing various cancer forms. This, in turn, is driving the application of metagenomic analysis in human health
- North America dominated the market in 2017. Strong presence of key NGS leaders like Illumina and a substantial number of ongoing genomics-related studies in U.S. are major factors contributing to its large share
- Some of the key competitors in the market are Illumina, Inc.; Promega Corporation; Novogene Corporation; Oxford Gene Technology, Inc.; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.; TAKARA BIO INC.; Danaher; QIAGEN; and ELITechGroup
- Acquisition of small players with a strong product portfolio is a prominently adopted strategy by dominant players. For instance, in August 2016, PerkinElmer acquired Bioo Scientific Corporation-provider of 16S & 18S library preparation kits for metagenome studies
- Competitors are also involved in collaborations with bioinformatics companies for co-development of novel platforms for metagenomics analysis.
