The global next-generation sequencing services market was valued at USD 6.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 40.43 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 22.54% from 2025 to 2033. Market growth is primarily driven by increasing demand for advanced genomic research, a rising prevalence of genetic disorders, and accelerating adoption of precision medicine worldwide.A key factor fueling expansion is the growing global burden of genetic and chronic diseases. Conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and rare inherited syndromes continue to rise, increasing the need for advanced diagnostic solutions. Traditional diagnostic methods often fail to detect underlying genetic mechanisms, whereas NGS provides comprehensive genomic insights that support early detection and precise diagnosis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six in ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease, while four in ten manage two or more, underscoring the urgency for more accurate and scalable sequencing technologies. As healthcare systems shift toward preventive and personalized care, the demand for robust NGS services continues to accelerate.
