Genomics refers to the study of an entire set of DNA within an organism. This includes researching their molecular components, structures and functions of genes, and developing technologies that aim to map and edit sequences of DNA. What started as a global scientific endeavour to map the human genome in the 1990s, had also created an entirely new business market, whereby companies use genomic technologies to provide personal, direct-to-consumer genomic testing services. This enabled consumers to gain unprecedented insights into their health, well-being, and even family ancestry, all from a genomic perspective.
Players in the genomics market range from small private companies that specialise in specific value chains, to large corporations that dominate multiple industries. Three stages of the genomics value chain can be considered: technology manufacturers that enable the ability to analyse enormous amounts of genetic data, service providers of direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and service providers of third-party data-reanalysis.
However, not all companies are equal when it comes to their capabilities and investments in the key themes that matter most to their industry. Understanding how companies are positioned and ranked in the most important themes can be a key leading indicator of their future earnings potential and relative competitive position.
According to GlobalData’s thematic research report, Genomics in Medical Devices, leading adopters include: Illumina, InVitae, 23&Me, Ancestry.com and Veritas Genetics.
