North America bioinformatics services market, By type, 2013 - 2024 (USD Million)

North America bioinformatics services market

Increasing R&D investment in the fields of metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics is expected to boost the demand for I.T. applications as well as data storage and analysis capabilities. Proteomics and genomics operate with large arrays of structural information that need to be collected, sorted, and processed to extract information. The technology enables ease in storing and handling this large amount of information consequently increasing its usage rate.

Development of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure by operating entities or through relocation of data services routing via cloud computing and essentially employing a third party to maintain it, in order to satisfy emerging demand are factors expected to drive R&D in this sector consequently influencing sector progress through to 2024.

However, certain factors such as the dearth of skilled personnel who can ensure proper use of bioinformatics tools coupled with lack of data integration are anticipated to impede the progress of this industry. Manufacturers & providers of such solutions & services are anticipated to witness challenges pertaining to high volume statistics management and industry consolidation.

Type Insights

By type of services provided, the market can be categorized into NGS, chemoinformatics, microarray data analysis, biological data curation, and scientific software testing services. NGS constitutes targeted sequencing, transcriptome, whole genome, chip seq, de-novo assembly, and methyl Seq analysis.

In 2015, NGS held over 40% of the market share owing to an increase in its adoption due to a reduction in the costs of sequencers coupled with the growing application of sequencing technology in enabling faster R&D in fields of precision medicine, biomarker development, and disease prognosis.

Chemoinformatics is anticipated to witness the fastest growth owing to expected upcoming advancements in high performance computing, molecular modeling, and web services that are employed in the process of computer-aided drug design.

Application Insights

This sector is segmented based on bioinformatics application, in genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and drug discovery. Growing demand for real-time disease management and the adoption of preventive medicine and personalized healthcare are among the key factors that are expected to drive demand in the sector over the forecast period.

Moreover, transcriptomics is anticipated to grow at a relatively faster rate owing to a rise in the number of research projects in the field of transcriptomics and the introduction of technological advancements for the study of RNA transcripts using bioinformatics-based protocols.

End-use Insights

Depending on the field served, the industry segmentation comprises agriculture, animal, medical, and academic users. The academic sector is anticipated to register the fastest progress exhibiting a double-digit CAGR owing to higher demand for these solutions by the universities for the purpose of a number of ongoing research projects.

Regional Insights

In 2015, North America was dominant in the regional industry with a share of over a third of the total revenue. The well-defined regulatory framework is responsible for higher penetration in industry participants which subsequently leads to the generation of industrial revenue. Simultaneous development of next-generation sequencing and chemical laboratories in the region is the highest impact rendering factor for the high penetration of drug discovery-based informatics services, ultimately boosting revenue generation.

The Asia Pacific bioinformatics services market is expected to register the fastest growth with a double-digit expected growth rate from 2016 to 2024 owing to improvement in health care infrastructure coupled with development initiatives taken up by pharmaceutical companies operating in this region. Asia Pacific serves a considerable pool of patients with respect to infectious diseases and thus is expected to drive the sector growth.

As this region contributes to 60% of the world’s total population, even a low prevalence translates into large numbers of infected people. Emerging economies such as India and Australia also contribute to the revenue share and progress of rest of Asia Pacific region. As outsourcing of the services is gaining momentum, a growing number of Asian countries are involved in creating the infrastructure that is expected to influence revenue generation in this sector by the virtue of government investment and academic innovation.

Competitive Insights

Major entities operating in the bioinformatics services market include Accelerys Inc, Qiagen Inc., GVK Biosciences, Illumina Inc., Agilent Technologies, Life Technologies Corporation, Celera Corporation, IBM Life sciences, Affymetrix, DNAnexus, and Geneva Bioinformatic.

These participants are involved in strategic collaborations with different information technology companies in order to enhance their presence by providing the customer base with enhanced information management solutions. For instance, in November 2014, GVK BIO underwent a tie-up with CTC Life Science Corporation. This initiative is anticipated to strengthen the relationship between the two firms and enhance the market presence of GVK by enabling the marketing and distribution of clinical data management products such as GVK BIO’s GOSTAR and GOBIOM along with custom curation services.
