Report Scope

The scope of the report includes clinical NGS technologies, applications, industries, initiatives, patents and companies. The markets for NGS-based diagnostics are given for the years 2014, 2015 and 2020.

This report reviews the main sequencing technologies and explains why genetic variation is important in clinical testing. It then discusses some of the top research initiatives that are contributing to clinical NGS applications. Market driving forces are also discussed.

The report examines the markets by test complexity, indication and test purpose. Test complexity refers to the multiplexing (e.g., the number of genes covered) and coverage (e.g., the extent to which the genome is covered) of the test. Examining the market by test complexity provides valuable insight into which products (e.g., sample preparation, NGS instrument, informatics) will be in demand in the future.

The report provides market data and forecasts for NGS diagnostics by specific applications, including those for cancer, rare diseases, complex disorders and reproductive health.

Specific geographic markets are discussed, including North America, Europe, China, Japan and the rest of the world.

Market data covers the years 2014, 2015 and 2020.

Industry sectors analyzed include NGS instruments, target enrichment, informatics, clinical laboratory testing services, reproductive health diagnostics, HLA typing, liquid biopsy, immune sequencing and fusion diagnostics.

More than 170 companies in the clinical NGS industry are profiled in this report.
