This report, Market for Library Preparation and Target Enrichment for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) 2021, examines the current market, providing a comprehensive market summary, including NGS sample preparation revenues and growth rates for 2021-2026 and NGS sample preparation revenues by geographic region for 2020 (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, rest-of-world).

The introduction of smaller, cheaper benchtop NGS systems has expanded the market into smaller labs that could never afford prices for earlier systems.  Due to their lower throughput, they are suitable for a variety of applications but not for most whole genome sequencing.  With the high performance provided by these smaller systems, the sales do not appear to be slowing down and the trend is expected to continue as the price of benchtop instruments is still being dropped.  These systems are largely being used for amplicon sequencing and targeted sequencing, as well as RNA or small/ micro RNA sequencing.  But this rapid rate of adoption of the benchtop systems has fueled the growth for reagents and kits for these various applications.  In particular, there has been a great demand for panels of genes related to specific disease areas.

Library Preparation and Target Enrichment is thus a crucial part of sequencing, and one where there are many more competitors than in the market for the instrument systems themselves.  The report covers the market for Library Preparation and Target Enrichment.   It lists products from over 220 companies and profiles the major players in the space among them.
