Epigenetics Market Projected to Reach $14.3 Billion by 2031

  • The growth of the epigenetics market is expected to be driven by the decrease in the cost of sequencing, the global increase in the application of next-generation sequencing, and the advancement of the products. However, there are significant challenges restraining the market growth, such as the high-cost epigenetics instruments and dearth of skilled professionals in epigenetic research. Epigenetic mechanisms are being linked to a growing number of chronic diseases and disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as environmental cues and nutrition, which have a significant impact on epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA.

    Healthcare experts have found the epigenetics market to be one of the highest booming markets, and the global market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 17.11% during the forecast period 2021-2031.

    Market Footprint and Growth Potential

    The global epigenetics market is expected to witness high growth, attributing to the field of epigenetics in medical science has inclined due to the rise in prevalence of cancer, increasing key player initiatives, and rising government initiatives in epigenetics. The continued significant investments by healthcare companies to meet industry demand and the growing adoption of epigenetics among major end users are the major factors propelling the growth of the global epigenetics market.

    The epigenetics market is an emerging market with huge growth potential. Recent technological advancements are facilitating the adoption of the technology at a rapid pace. Epigenetic alterations can be maintained from cell to cell as cells divide and can be inherited through the generations. Moreover, epigenetic changes are required for normal development and health, and they can also be responsible for some disease states. Disturbing any of the three marks that contribute to epigenetic modification can cause abnormal activation or silencing of genes. In addition, the market of epigenetics is rising due to technological advancements in products offered by the companies.
