Market Challenges – Shortage of Skilled Healthcare ProfessionalsShortage of skilled healthcare professionals in performing pharmacogenomics diagnostic tests and lack of pharmacogenomics information in the electronic systems used by healthcare professionals are expected to hamper the market growth. For instance, an article published in Frontiers, a publisher of peer-reviewed open access scientific journal, in September 2021, healthcare professionals lack adequate training and education in pharmacogenomics and they are concerned about the absence of evidence-based clinical guidelines. Lack of available resources, such as laboratory equipment, infrastructure requirements for pharmacogenomics, and skilled and highly trained healthcare professionals, also constitutes an important factor for the low integration level of pharmacogenomics.
Market Opportunities – Increasing Collaborations Among Research Institutes
Increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies, such as collaborations, are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the market. For instance, in August 2020, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a health science university, expanded its pharmacogenomics efforts by launching a new collaboration with Tampa General Hospital and its pharmacy team that will allow clinicians to tailor medications based on a patient’s genetic makeup. Plans include developing clinical decision support tools in the electronic health record (EHR) to support clinicians in interpreting results and guide treatment options in the presence of pharmacogenetic data.

Insights, By Technology: Advancing Technology Drives the DNA Sequencing Adoption
The technology segment includes DNA sequencing, microarray, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and others. The DNA sequencing sub-segment is estimated to hold 39.4% of the market share in 2024 owing to its ability to rapidly decipher genetic information. Next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated scientific discovery by enabling researchers to sequence entire human genomes more quickly and cost-effectively than previous methods. This has supported the integration of genomic information into healthcare to guide treatment decisions. DNA sequencing allows clinicians to match patients with therapies most suited to their genetic profile, improving outcomes while reducing trial-and-error prescribing. It also enables monitoring of disease progression and detection of mutations that may develop resistance to therapies. Rapid DNA analyzers have automated sequencing workflows for clinical laboratories, streamlining pharmacogenomic testing to inform precision prescribing across diverse therapeutic areas. Continued technological advancements promise to make sequencing even faster, cheaper and easier to interpret, supporting wider pharmacogenomic applications.
Insights, By Application: Growing Oncology Burden Fuels Pharmacogenomics Uptake
The application segment includes cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, oncology, neurological diseases, pain management, and others. The oncology sub-segment is estimated to hold 56.2% of the market share in 2024 due to the growing burden of cancer. Pharmacogenomics helps optimize drug efficacy and minimize toxicity in oncology by accounting for patients' genetic variations. Genetic testing guides selection of therapies targeted to cancers' underlying molecular drivers as well as biomarkers predictive of response or resistance. It allows pairing of patients with regimens most suited to their tumor profiles, rather than unguided trials. This precision approach improves outcomes for subgroups as therapies can be switched early in non-responders. Genomics analysis also aids in identifying patients at high risk of drug-induced toxicity who may require dose reductions. Pharmacogenomics helps overcome challenges from tumor heterogeneity and evolution by tracking genetic changes through disease progression and treatment. It facilitates longitudinal monitoring to detect resistance mutations emerging with targeted therapies. These capabilities are central to realizing the promise of personalized cancer care.
Insights, By End User: Expanding Healthcare Infrastructure is Favoring the Hospitals Segment
The end user segment includes hospitals & clinics, research institutions and academic institutes, diagnostic laboratories, and others. The hospitals & clinics sub-segment is estimated to hold 31.9% of the market share in 2024 owing to their expanding clinical pharmacogenomics services. Hospitals are adopting genomic technologies like next-generation sequencing and microarrays to establish precision medicine platforms. This allows embedding pharmacogenomic testing and consulting directly within clinical workflows to guide medication management for patients. It helps optimize drug regimens from the outset of care. By automating genomic profiling, hospitals also provide seamless access to board-certified pharmacogenomic experts for busy clinicians. This consolidated model of testing and consultation enhances pharmacogenomics uptake by addressing barriers like interdisciplinary collaboration and complex genomic data interpretation challenges. Expanding clinical decision support tools further aid healthcare professionals in applying test results. With pharmacological implications across therapeutic areas, hospital-based precision medicine services boost pharmacogenomics applications and associated economic outcomes across the care continuum.
