Categories, platform segments and regions are discussed in detail, including describing and identifying current products on the market, measuring the market size, and market drivers with a forecast to 2022. Competitors are assessed, together with their respective market shares. For the country-level breakdown of segments, only the base year 2017 and projections to 2022 are indicated in the data in the tables. Year-to-year differences are considered as statistically insignificant.

The market evaluation in the study pertains to existing processes and/or devices used in the mobile application of DNA sequencing, and which have been developed and approved for human clinical use. The market size takes this into account. Options/upgrades or refurbished/remarketed equipment has not been accounted for in the quantitative estimates and forecasts provided in the study. Ancillary products and services also related to the application of DNA sequencing conditions are discussed. Metrics countrywide, using information at the country level to look at the dynamics and their impact on reviews and growth, are used. Interviews were used to confirm and/or adjust the U.S. market size and market share estimates, as well as formulating market projections.

This report concentrates on the processes behind DNA sequencing techniques and discusses the developers of DNA sequencing and mobile applications of DNA sequencing and the history, processes and future developments being used to create and develop mobile applications.

Included in the report is a general overview of the genetic processes and terms used in the main areas of genomic studies and preparations. The report provides an outline only of the main areas involved with DNA sequencing.

This is a new market moving forward into revolutionary global healthcare through precision medicine. This report therefore reflects the new apps that have just become available in the market, together with developing technology. Clinical trials pertaining to moving toward the new global healthcare of precision medicine is studied in this report.

Included in the report is the developing market in the bioinformatics field of genetics and translational medicine from current standard medical practices to medical practices involving computational biology. Some devices studied in the report touch on the current and future market. The devices forecasted in the report are those that pertain to the current developing mobile apps market.

Specifically excluded from the study, as it is considered beyond the scope of the report, is an in-depth study of individuals who have had their DNA sequenced or mapped. Also excluded from the report is a detailed, in-depth study of the types of technology and methodology and terminology used, although this is outlined in general. Also excluded from the report is a detailed study of all the processes involved in genetics/genomes/sequencing as this topic is too vast in itself to explore in this report.

Also excluded from the report is a detailed description of all types of DNA sequencing, although the main areas in this topic are discussed, a further detailed in-depth examination of DNA sequencing is not deemed to be necessary for market values.

Considered outside the scope of this report is a detailed study of current mobile device technology, such as Android phones, PCs or tablets, as this report does not concentrate on this side of technological developments.
