Regional Analysis
The market in the Americas is expected to dominate the global microbiome sequencing services market during the forecast period owing to the increasing per capita healthcare expenditure, and the heavy adoption of new technology in the region. Europe is expected to hold the second largest position in the global microbiome sequencing services market. The market growth in this region is because of the presence of a well-established healthcare system and increase in life-threatening diseases. For instance, according to cancer research UK, there were approximately 9, 921 cases of cancer diagnosed in 2015. Such high rates of cancer are likely to increase demand for use of next-generation sequencing as well as increase the market demands for monoclonal bodies and cellular research. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the microbiome sequencing services market. Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing region in the market due to the huge patient pool of chronic diseases and government initiatives of healthcare reforms. The market in the Middle East & Africa is likely to account for the smallest share of the global microbiome sequencing services market. The market growth in this region owes to the low disposable income in the region.
