The global optical genome mapping market size is estimated to reach USD 536.4 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.76% from 2024 to 2030. This can be attributed to developments in studying efficient treatments for a variety of chronic diseases. The ability of optical genome mapping (OGM) to complement other genomic sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), has created synergies in genomics research.
Researchers can integrate optical mapping data with NGS data to obtain a more comprehensive view of the genome, which is particularly valuable in clinical diagnostics and cancer research. In August 2023, Bionano Genomics participated in the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) 2023 annual meeting with a wide range of sessions covering the utility of OGM for hematological malignancy and solid tumor cancer research, including poster presentations and scientific platform from Bionano Genomics, which also featured a panel discussion of esteemed researchers from across the cancer genomics field.
Technological advancements have played a significant role in the growth of the OGM industry. Over the years, there have been substantial improvements in the underlying technologies used in optical mapping. High-resolution imaging techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy, have become more sophisticated, enabling researchers to visualize and analyze individual DNA molecules with unprecedented precision. Advancements in DNA labeling methods and data analysis algorithms have enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of OGM, making it a reliable and robust tool for genomic research. In June 2023, Bionano Genomics introduced the Stratys system for high throughput OGM via software for evaluating genomic data for hematologic malignancies.
Moreover, the accessibility of optical mapping technology has also improved, making it more widely available to researchers and institutions. Several companies have developed commercial optical mapping platforms, offering turnkey solutions for genomics research. This commercialization has not only made optical mapping more accessible but has also accelerated its adoption across different sectors.
