Targeted sequencing uses deep sequencing within an area of interest to identify recognized and novel variants. Illumina's 523-gene panel contains all the probable genes that have the ability to cause malignant tumours to develop. Medical laboratories have introduced the product to diagnose patients suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia. In addition, the efficacy of targeted panels for the identification of malignant tumors improves their clinical usefulness. In 64% of cancer cases, NGS panels are clinically beneficial, according to a report reported in JCO Precision Oncology, 2020 driving the Clinical Oncology Next Generation Sequencing Industry. Whole Genome Sequencing segment is anticipated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 8.3% in the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to the usefulness of this technology to discern and compare normal tissues from tumour tissues, segment growth. Moreover, whole-genome sequencing of cancer patients helps to identify therapies for existing mutations and also helps to target mutations ahead of time. It also helps analyse the prognosis of cancer and establish a treatment regimen depending on the genes affected aiding to the Clinical Oncology Next Generation Sequencing Market growth.

Based on Application, Clinical Oncology Next Generation Sequencing Market is segmented into Screening - Sporadic Cancer and Inherited Cancer, Companion Diagnostics and Other Diagnostics. Screening accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2020. The most effective way to identify genetic alterations that can be targeted for clinical benefit in cancer patients is currently considered to be NGS-based testing. This technology enables clinicians to analyse several alterations of genes simultaneously. Moreover, as opposed to other pathology methods, technology needs less tumor tissues. An increase in the number of cancer sequencing projects is also increasing the growth of the segment. For instance, 38 different types of cancer were analysed by the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium by sequencing more than 2,600 tumour samples aiding to the market's growth. Companion Diagnostics segment is anticipated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Efforts taken by key market participants to develop advanced computational tools propel the segment growth. For instance, in January 2021, scientists from the MD Anderson Cancer Center created CopyKAT, a new computational tool to distinguish between normal as well as cancer cells in a tumour thus enhancing the Companion Diagnostics segment demand.

Based on Geography, North America Clinical Oncology Next Generation Sequencing Market accounted for the 36% revenue share in 2020. This rise is accounted for by substantial efforts made by regulatory bodies to boost cancer screening detection in the U.S. For instance, the U.S.-initiated Cancer Genome Atlas programme, Next-generation sequencing has been conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of more than 20,000 primary cancer samples from 33 different cancer types. A consortium of 12 cancer centres, including Johns Hopkins University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and others throughout the United States, is the NCI's Cancer Aim Discovery and Growth Network enhancing the Clinical Oncology Next Generation Sequencing Market. In January 2020, in the United States, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity provided $23 million to the Broad Institute and Harvard University, and DNA Script. In addition, the emergence of a range of laboratories, academic institutions and hospitals that provide early cancer detection and treatment services based on NGS is owing to the growth of the regional sector. For instance, EasyDNA Canada, a Toronto-based DNA Biotechnology testing company, provides Cancer Predisposition Panel tests that use NGS technology to recognise mutations in a total of 98 genes associated with 25 inherited cancers. The test helps to recognise people who at a later stage of their lives are at a high risk of developing cancer drive the regional growth. Asia-Pacific is predicted to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period 2021- 2026 owing to the increasing automation in the pre-sequencing protocols in this particular region thereby aiding to regional growth.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, according to the WHO, and was responsible for an estimated 9.6 million fatalities in 2018.
