Metagenomics Market

Global Metagenomics Market Insights

The Metagenomics Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Metagenomics, also known as environmental genomics, is essentially the study of genetic material from environmental samples. Environmental genomics of metagenomics clones specific genes in order to create variation in the natural sample. Metagenomics enables researchers to delve further and discover the ancient diversity of microscopic life, in turn allowing a better understanding of the living world.

Factors such as technological developments in bioinformatics and biotechnology, declining costs of genome sequencing and growing applications of microbial screening in investigative cases are projected to boost the market for metagenomics. Growing interest of researchers in fields complementary to metagenomics is also expected to augment growth in the market. However, factors such as the high overall cost of metagenomics and low market penetration in developing countries are expected to hinder market growth up to a certain extent.
