“With cutting-edge advances in next-generation sequencing and growing interest in personalized medicine, whole genome sequencing is set to transform disease diagnosis and treatment, driving strong market growth at a projected CAGR of 15.1% over the next five years.”
BOSTON, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — According to the latest study from BCC Research, “Whole Genome Sequencing: Global Markets” is projected to grow from $3 billion in 2025 to $6.1 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1% from 2025 to 2030.

This report provides insights into the current and future market potential of whole genome sequencing (WGS), with global and regional projections through 2030. It includes market estimates by product and service type, covering instruments, consumables, and services. The workflow is segmented into pre-sequencing, sequencing, and data analysis. End users include research institutes, hospitals and clinics, pharmaceutical companies, and others. Applications span infectious diseases, cancer research, rare genetic diseases, and pharmacogenomics. The report also breaks down data by four regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
This report is particularly relevant today because whole genome sequencing (WGS) is emerging as a powerful tool for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring conditions like cancer, rare inherited disorders, and neurological diseases. Its ability to provide comprehensive genomic information helps reduce reliance on single-gene tests or invasive procedures. WGS is also increasingly used in drug development to identify better disease targets and select suitable patients for clinical studies through genomic profiling.
The factors driving the market’s growth include:
Research on Cancer Genomics and Rare Inherited Diseases: Whole genome sequencing is vital for identifying genetic mutations linked to cancer and rare diseases. It enables faster, more accurate diagnoses and helps researchers develop targeted treatments by understanding disease mechanisms at the genetic level.
Falling Genome Sequencing Costs: Due to technological advances, the cost of sequencing a genome has dropped significantly, making it more accessible for clinical and research use. This affordability is expanding its adoption across the healthcare, biotech, and academic sectors.
Focus on Targeted Therapies and Personalized Medicine: WGS supports personalized medicine by revealing genetic profiles that guide treatment decisions. It helps tailor therapies to individual patients, improves drug response, and enables early disease detection and prevention strategies.
