Market Size & Growth
Key Market Drivers
Challenges
Also, advancements in optical mapping technologies such as improvements in speed, accuracy, and scalability, contribute significantly to the market's expansion. For instance, in January 2023, Bionano Genomics, Inc, launched multiple new products and advancements for its optical genome mapping (OGM) workflow that offer enhanced robustness in sample preparation. This enable to decrease the turnaround time for DNA labelling and imaging, and improvements in throughput and quality metrics. Thus, availability of such products and services along with the rising prevalence of genetic disorders & cancers has fuelled the need for advanced genomic tools, thereby accelerating the market expansion.
Optical genome mapping is a genomic technology that involves the analysis and mapping of DNA molecules at a high resolution. It provides a comprehensive view of the structure and arrangement of genomic DNA. By analysing the patterns and lengths of labelled DNA fragments, researchers can create a detailed map of the genome, identifying structural variations, copy number variations, and other genomic features.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderately positive impact on the optical genome mapping market. The urgency to understand the genomic makeup of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants led to an acceleration of genomic research. OGM's ability to provide rapid and high-resolution genomic data became valuable for identifying and monitoring emerging variants of the virus. Furthermore, rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines and antiviral drugs relied on comprehensive genomic data, and technologies including optical genome mapping contributed to these efforts.
Optical Genome Mapping Market Trends
However, the substantial financial investment required for acquiring and maintaining optical genome mapping instruments, along with associated services, poses a challenge for research institutions, laboratories, and healthcare facilities that may hinder the market progress.
