Metagenomics Sequencing Market to to Grow with a CAGR of 14.38% through 2030

The rise in research and development activities for development of new drugs is expected to drive the growth of Global Metagenomics Sequencing Market during the forecast period, 2026-2030.

According to TechSci Research report, “Metagenomics Sequencing Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2030F”, Global Metagenomics Sequencing Market stood at USD 2.89 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 14.38% in the forecast period through 2030. This can be ascribed to the research and development activities for development of novel drugs and growing demand for advanced sequencing technology across the region. Additionally, growing applications of metagenomics in different fields such as bioremediation, ecological and environmental metagenomics, clinical diagnostics, drug development, and industrial use are the major factors driving the growth of the market during the forecast period. Also, growing adoption of bioinformatics technology in the diagnostic procedures and growing demand for discovery of new proteins such as antibiotics by purifying, cloning, and expressing DNA taken from the organisms will further boost the growth of the Global Metagenomics Sequencing Market in the forecast period. Besides, Governments around the world are providing support for development of healthcare industry, including funding for research and development, which is driving the demand for Metagenomics Sequencing Market during the forecast period.

However, the cost of metagenomics sequencing can be high, particularly for high-throughput sequencing technologies. This can slow down the growth of the Global Metagenomics Sequencing Market in the forecast period. Also, Metagenomics sequencing generates vast amounts of data that can be difficult to analyze and interpret. Advanced bioinformatics tools and expertise are often required to extract meaningful insights from the data, creating a challenge,  further restricting the growth of the Global Metagenomics Sequencing Market. Similarly, lack of standardization about metagenomics sequencing machine along with Environmental samples can contain diverse microbial communities with varying abundance levels, making it challenging to capture and sequence the entire microbial diversity accurately that may hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Metagenomics Sequencing market is segmented into product and service, technology, application, regional distribution and company.


Based on Technology, 16S rRNA sequencing category is exhibiting the fastest growth within the Global Metagenomic Sequencing Market. This technique is increasingly favored due to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and suitability for profiling bacterial and archaeal communities in a wide range of environments. 16S rRNA sequencing targets the highly conserved 16S ribosomal RNA gene, which contains both conserved and variable regions, enabling taxonomic classification of microbes even in complex or previously uncharacterized samples. One of the main factors contributing to the growth of 16S rRNA sequencing is its widespread application in microbiome studies, clinical diagnostics, environmental surveillance, and agricultural research. It is especially valuable for identifying microbial diversity and relative abundance in ecosystems, human gut microbiota, and contaminated environments. Its use in human health, particularly in studying the gut microbiome and its links to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease, has brought this technology into the spotlight.

Based on Region, the Asia Pacific region is experiencing the fastest growth in the global metagenomic sequencing market, primarily due to increasing investments in biotechnology, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and rising awareness of genomic technologies across emerging economies. Countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are witnessing a surge in research activities, with governments and private institutions increasingly recognizing the potential of metagenomics in fields like disease diagnostics, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. In China, the government’s 13th Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology and similar initiatives have promoted genomics research and development, significantly contributing to the growth of sequencing technologies. Moreover, organizations like BGI Group have become major global players, investing heavily in sequencing platforms and research collaborations that expand the use of metagenomics across Asia and beyond. India, similarly, has increased funding in life sciences through initiatives such as the Department of Biotechnology’s Genome India Project, which aims to catalog genetic data from the Indian population and expand sequencing capabilities.
