LATAM Genomics Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Lower sequencing costs, clear industrial policies, and increased investments in the pharmaceutical sector are the factors driving the LATAM Genomics Market. The LATAM genomics market was valued at $1,364.2m in 2017 and is forecast to reach $2,863.2m by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 9.61% during the forecast period 2017–2025. The market for genomics in Brazil was valued at $614.9m in 2017 and is estimated to increase by 49% by 2025. The growth is majorly attributable to the growth of the healthcare industry and increased demand for personalized medicines in the country.

Genomics is an area that is concerned with the sequencing and analysis of an organism’s genome. It involves the study of genes at a molecular level. Genomics involves the determination of complete DNA sequences and genetic mapping to help understand diseases. It uses a computer aided technology to study the structure and function of the entire genome of an organism. Genomics is related to the mapping and sequencing of genes on a chromosome. The genomics techniques are highly powerful, accurate, efficient, and effective in solving complex genetic problems by analyzing the gene sequence. 

Genomics is widely used in healthcare, agriculture, biotechnology, and diagnostics. In the healthcare sector, genomics is used for the development of vaccines and drugs. It plays an important role in the diagnosis of various genetic disorders and has a broad scope in personalized medicine as it can suggest a medical treatment based on the genetic make-up of a person.  It is also used in synthetic biology and bioengineering. Genomics in agriculture is used for plant breeding and to improve crop yield. The understanding of gene function and the availability of genomic maps along with a better understanding of genetic variation will aid plant breeders to identify the traits and then manipulate those traits to obtain a higher yield.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the competitive landscape, product market sizing, product benchmarking, market trends, product developments, financial analysis, strategic analysis, and so on, to gauge the impact forces and potential opportunities for the LATAM Genomics market.

Hospitals and health insurance companies provide genomics testing for patients. Increasing demand for personalized medicines, innovations and developments in technology, and lower cost and time-saving techniques in DNA sequencing are expected to further drive this market. High incidences of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and cancer coupled with the close attention given by many large and recognized corporates, especially from the healthcare and life sciences industry, are driving the genomics market in Latin America.

A major challenge for the LATAM genomics market is the non-availability of genomic data. Research organizations and academic centers have to depend on studies based on worldwide populations that have a different genetic makeup compared to the Latin American population. 

The lack developments in biotechnology and information technology in many countries is also of concern. 

The lack of market incentives for the global pharmaceutical industry to pursue genomics-based research. 

While the cost of sequencing a genome has come down rapidly in the past few years, the technology is still expensive to use.
