Global Digital Genome Market Overview
The Digital Genome Market size is expected to reach USD 32.5 Billion by 2032 at 10.5% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. The digital genome market is expected to witness tremendous growth during the forecast period. Digital genome can be used in the diagnosis of rare diseases, genetic diseases, cancer, neurological disorders and others.
Digital Genome Market Trends
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as breast cancer is driving the market growth. Other essential factors influencing the growth of the market are increasing geriatric population, need for efficient diagnosis and treatment, increasing number of drug discoveries, growing biotech sector, increasing research in the field of genomics and rise in funding related to digitalization. Variants of Presenilin gene lead to Alzheimer’s disease. According to Alzheimer's Association in 2018, 5.7 million people are from Alzheimer’s disease in the Americas. With the help of digital genome identifying genomic variants is easy.
However, factors such as high costs of digital genome techniques, lack of knowledge about the digital genome, security issues and inaccurate results are some of the factors expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The digital genome market is dominated by America owing increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. The Breastcancer.org estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 63,960 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer in America in 2018. Thus, this provides favorable backgrounds for the market to grow.
It is estimated that Europe stood second in the digital genome market. The rising demand for personalized medicine and targeted therapy is driving the growth of the market. The European Alliance for Personalized Medicine (EAPM) founded in March 2012, is involved in enhancing patient care for chronic diseases through personalized medicine. According to the European Commission in April 2018, 13 European countries have signed a declaration to share the genomic data to allow personalized treatments against cancer, rare diseases, and neurological diseases.
The digital genome market in Asia-Pacific is expected to witness growth owing to rising diabetes in this region. According to the American Diabetes Association in 2016, the Western Pacific has more than 138.2 million diabetic patients. Also, the rising healthcare spending and growing biotech sector drive the market growth in this region.
The Middle East and Africa holds the least share in the digital genome market due to low funding in medical and health research. However, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing healthcare spending favors market growth in this region. According to the Ministry of Finance - KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) in 2018, 147 billion riyals (USD 39.2 billion) have been allocated for the Health and Social Development Sector. This enhances the market growth of digital genome in this region.
