DNA SEQUENCING MARKET ANALYSIS

DNA sequencing refers to a common laboratory technique that determines the exact sequence of nucleotides or bases in a DNA molecule. Sequences of bases (often identified by the first letters of their chemical names, A, T, C, and G) encode biological information that cells use to develop and operate. Several different methods for DNA sequencing are currently available such as Next Generation Sequencing.

Global DNA sequencing market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6,802.2 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
