This growth can be attributed to the pivotal role of epigenetics in understanding gene regulation beyond DNA sequencing, aiding disease research, and advancing personalized medicine. The established companies and startups operating in the industry are investing significantly to develop the epigenetics domain.
The epigenetics market has been significantly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The growing understanding of the intricate relationship between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and epigenetic mechanisms has highlighted the potential for using epigenetic treatments to fight the virus. With the current lack of antiviral drugs that are clinically approved, there's a window for industry participants to investigate new methods. This includes the combination of antiviral medications with DNMT/HDAC inhibitors and other epigenetic therapies. Should these innovative strategies prove effective in clinical trials, they could reduce drug resistance and improve treatment outcomes, offering a promising future for the growth of the market.
Furthermore, the increasing incidence of disease is propelling the demand for diagnosis of cancers at early stages. According to The American Cancer Society also estimates that almost 8 million individuals die due to cancer each year. Across several countries, cancer cases are twice that of non-communicable diseases, encouraging government & private players to increase the number of awareness and screening programs in U.S. Thus, rising prevalence of cancer is anticipated to significantly boost the demand for cancer diagnostic products during the forecast period.
The reagents segment dominated the market with the largest share of 32.7% in 2023. Epigenetic reagents play a crucial role in the study and manipulation of epigenetic mechanisms, which involve changes in gene expression that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence. These reagents are essential for understanding epigenetic regulation and are used in research & potential therapeutic applications. Additionally, numerous companies in the field provide reagents tailored for epigenetics research. For instance, Promega Corporation offers a range of kits and reagents for DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA transcription analysis, aiding in epigenetic research. Consequently, the provision of numerous reagents by leading companies is anticipated to significantly drive the growth of this segment.
The services segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2033. Epigenetic services encompass a range of offerings, including sequencing, analysis, and consultation services. Epigenetic analysis involves sophisticated techniques, such as ChIP-seq, bisulfite sequencing, and DNA methylation profiling. Many researchers and institutions rely on specialized services to perform these complex analyses accurately and efficiently. Thus, anticipated to propel the growth of the segment over the forecast period.
The DNA methylation segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 44.10% in 2023. DNA methylation is increasingly used to aid sequencing techniques. The methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and the methylated DNA binding domain sequencing preferentially highlight the methylated regions for sequencing. The increasing number of research activities in biological and pharmaceutical research is boosting the demand for DNA methylation as it profoundly influences gene expression by modifying the interactions with DNA of the chromatin proteins & specific transcription factors. These factors are anticipated to impel the boost the growth of the segment.
The histone acetylation segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its improved efficacy due to the development of innovative methods. Numerous studies have suggested that histone acetylation may have therapeutic benefits in conditions, such as solid tumors, inflammation, leukemia, and viral infection. The driving factors for histone acetylation encompass a wide range of biological processes and influences, including gene activation, the activity of histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases, chromatin remodeling, epigenetic memory, cellular development, environmental stimuli, crosstalk with other modifications, disease associations, cellular memory, and drug development.
The oncology segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023. Currently, cancer is the major area for epigenetics research. With the increasing incidence of cancer, the market for cancer-related epigenetic diagnosis is likely to grow. As per the American Cancer Society, the estimated number of new cancer cases in the U.S. in 2022 was 1.9 million, with around 609,360 related deaths. Epigenetics research in oncology is driven by several factors, reflecting the critical role of epigenetic alterations in the development and progression of cancer. Collaborative initiatives, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), bring together researchers, clinicians, and bioinformaticians to analyze large-scale cancer genomics & epigenomics datasets, accelerating discoveries in cancer epigenetics.
The non-oncology segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The market in non-oncology fields is driven by a diverse range of factors related to various medical disciplines. The knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms in a variety of fields, including neurological and cardiovascular diseases, metabolic and autoimmune disorders, aging, mental health, drug development, and precision medicine, significantly drives the expansion of the market in non-cancer applications.
In 2023, academic research held the largest market share of 37.4% in the end-use segment. The growing field of epigenetics has become a major focus area fueling a rapid expansion in academic research. This demand is due to the wide implications epigenetics holds for understanding gene expression regulation beyond DNA sequence alterations. Moreover, as technologies advance, enabling more precise mapping and manipulation of epigenetic marks, the demand for skilled researchers and innovative methodologies is expected to grow. These factors contribute to the growing demand for epigenetics in the U.S.
The clinical research is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 15.57% from 2024 to 2033. The lucrative demand for epigenetics within clinical research reflects a transformative shift in drug discovery and development concepts. Epigenetics, with its complex exploration of gene expression beyond DNA sequencing, presents a wide opportunity for understanding disease mechanisms at a ground level.
