Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are widely adopted in research applications across various fields, including genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics. Long read sequencing provides additional insights into genome assembly, gene expression, and DNA modification patterns, driving its adoption in NGS-based research.

Increasing Adoption of Long Read Sequencing: Long read sequencing technologies are gaining significant traction in the market due to their ability to provide more comprehensive and accurate genomic information compared to short read sequencing. This trend is driven by the increasing demand for applications such as genome assembly, structural variant analysis, and transcriptomics.

North America held a 50.85% share of the global market in 2022 as a result of the existence of significant players like Pacific Biosciences, the accessibility of a strong informatics network, and established laws for the approval and marketing of goods and services for genetic testing. Furthermore, it is projected that the growing academic and clinical use of genomic methods in the US will speed up market expansion there.
