Next-generation sequencing (NGS) oncology involves the use of advanced sequencing technologies to examine the genetic composition of cancer cells. It helps identify specific mutations, genetic alterations, and biomarkers that can guide personalized treatment plans, predict responses to therapies, and enhance overall cancer management. NGS oncology facilitates precision medicine, where treatments are tailored to the genetic profile of the tumor.
The primary sequencing technologies in NGS oncology include targeted sequencing, genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics. Targeted sequencing is a genomic method that focuses on sequencing specific genes or regions within the genome to detect genetic variations linked to diseases or traits. These technologies are available in platforms, kits, and services. The workflow includes stages such as pre-sequencing, sequencing, and data analysis. They are applied in various areas, including genetic screening, hereditary genetic testing, hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and more. Key end users include hospitals and clinics, clinical research organizations (CROs), academic and research institutions, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and others.
The NGS oncology market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides NGS oncology market statistics, including the NGS oncology industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the NGS oncology market share, detailed NGS oncology market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the NGS oncology industry. This NGS oncology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The NGS oncology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $17.36 billion in 2024 to $19.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing incidence of cancer, expanding research in cancer genomics, rising public awareness, development of healthcare infrastructure, and growing demand for personalized medicine.
The NGS oncology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of companion diagnostics, rising cancer prevalence, increased government and healthcare investments, broader clinical applications, and growing interest in targeted therapies. Key trends expected in this period include the integration of AI and machine learning, progress in single-cell sequencing, improvements in sequencing platforms, advancements in liquid biopsy technology, and developments in high-throughput sequencing platforms.
The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the NGS oncology market in the coming years. Cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body, disrupting normal bodily functions. The rising prevalence of cancer is primarily due to aging populations, as the risk of developing cancer increases with age. NGS oncology helps address this growing cancer burden by enabling early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment through detailed genetic profiling of tumors. According to the American Cancer Society, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, in 2022, around 20 million new cancer cases were reported globally, resulting in 9.7 million deaths. Driven mainly by population growth, the global cancer burden is expected to rise to 35 million cases by 2050. Thus, the increasing prevalence of cancer will significantly drive the expansion of the NGS oncology market.
Companies operating in the NGS oncology market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as liquid biopsy research assays, to enable non-invasive, real-time cancer detection and monitoring through the analysis of circulating tumor DNA. A liquid biopsy research assay is a diagnostic test that analyzes biological fluids such as blood to detect genetic mutations or molecular markers linked to cancer, allowing for non-invasive detection and monitoring. For example, in August 2024, Illumina Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in NGS technology, expanded its oncology portfolio for NovaSeq X Series users. The company introduced the newly validated high-throughput TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO 500 HT) and the updated TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA v2 (TSO 500 ctDNA v2) liquid biopsy research assays. These advanced assays enable laboratories to expand their oncology research capabilities for both tissue and liquid biopsy samples, offering improved sequencing efficiency, reduced run times, and the ability to process larger sample volumes on the NovaSeq X Series for the first time.
In December 2024, Deerfield Management Company, a U.S.-based investment firm, acquired Singular Genomics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Deerfield's portfolio by integrating Singular Genomics' next-generation sequencing and spatial multiomics technologies, advancing research and clinical applications. Singular Genomics is a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in NGS and multiomics technologies.
