NGS Library Preparation Automation Market Exhibits higher growth of CAGR 14.85% | BIS Research

In 2021, the global NGS Library Preparation Automation Market was valued at $1,273.2 million, and it is expected to reach $3,803.3 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.85% during the forecast period 2022-2029. The growth in the global NGS library preparation automation market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for next-generation sequencing, as there is no human error when the system is fully automated. Additionally, it saves time and money.

Market Lifecycle Stage

Automated NGS library preparation methods can address the issue like chances of human error during library preparation, as they require low amounts of hands-on time, thereby lowering manual error risk. Fully automated NGS library preparation solutions provide good library preparation quality, and at the same time, transform the efficiency of the workflow. Thus, NGS library preparation automation is extremely beneficial as it helps increase the lab’s efficiency and generates more consistent results. Automation can help one maintain turnaround time and expand sample workload. Leading automation companies like Agilent Technologies, Inc., Hamilton Company, and Tecan Trading AG provide various methods for adopting NGS library preparation automation according to one’s needs. These fully automated instruments can address the laboratory’s throughput needs.

Impact

•   The presence of major instrument providers of NGS library preparation automation has a major impact on the market. For instance, in March 2021, Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Danaher., acquired Swift Biosciences. Swift Biosciences is the pioneer in NGS library preparation genomics kit development for academic, translational, and clinical research. With the help of this acquisition, Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. aspires to grow its library preparation automation base and increase its existing product line.

•   Companies such as Agilent Technologies, Inc. partnered with Element Biosciences Inc. in February 2022 and developed new and disruptive DNA sequencing platforms through this partnership. Element Biosciences Inc.’s AVITI System was integrated with Agilent Technologies Inc.’s SureSelect target enrichment panels, through which this technology can be accessed by a larger number of customers. SureSelect is a DNA library Preparation Automation kit launched by Agilent Technologies, Inc. in 2013.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2019, the world was hit by the Sars-CoV-2 virus, which led to the entire world shut down and everybody getting tested for the virus. As the amount of testing increased, it became important to increase the pace of testing as well. To do this, automated library preparation systems were set up at many clinical and diagnostic centers to decrease hands-on time and increase the pace of testing.

Steps performed in this process include extracting RNA samples from the patients, which is then reverse transcribed to cDNA, and then amplified using PCR. However, before the PCR step, a sample library needs to be prepared, which is the most time-consuming step of the entire process. With the help of instruments like the Hamilton NGS STAR 96, the entire NGS library preparation automation protocol can be performed hands-free on the instrument itself. Therefore, with the emergence of COVID-19, the popularity of NGS library preparation automation systems has increased.
