NGS Data Storage Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F

Data Analysis Services is the fastest growing segment, North America is the largest regional market

The Global NGS Data Storage Market, valued at USD 979.35 Million in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 10.20% to reach USD 1.75 billion by 2030. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data storage encompasses the specialized infrastructure, systems, and solutions engineered to manage, archive, and retrieve the extensive genomic data volumes generated by advanced sequencing technologies. This market's expansion is primarily driven by the exponential growth of genomic data, a direct consequence of decreasing sequencing costs, and the escalating adoption of NGS in diverse applications such as genomics research, personalized medicine, and clinical diagnostics. Further impetus comes from increasing research and development activities in genomics and biotechnology.

Key Market Drivers

The Global Next-Generation Sequencing NGS Data Storage Market is significantly shaped by the declining cost of next-generation sequencing, which has dramatically increased the accessibility and application of genomic technologies across various sectors. This reduction in cost makes large-scale sequencing projects more feasible, thereby intensifying the demand for robust data storage solutions. For instance, according to Illumina Inc., in April 2023, its NovaSeq X sequencing system was capable of generating over 20,000 whole genomes annually at a cost of $200 per genome, signaling a profound shift towards greater data generation at lower unit costs. This economic advantage directly fuels the expansion of sequencing activities in both research and clinical diagnostics, requiring substantial increases in data archival and retrieval infrastructure.

Key Market Challenges

The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data storage market faces a significant challenge in managing data overload and the inherent complexities of storage scalability. The exponential generation of genomic data presents substantial obstacles for organizations striving to effectively store, manage, and retrieve this information. This rapid growth necessitates continuous upgrades to infrastructure and specialized technical expertise, which can strain budgets and operational capabilities for various institutions.

This persistent issue directly impedes the growth of the global NGS data storage market by increasing operational expenditures for research institutions and clinical facilities. The costs associated with acquiring, maintaining, and scaling storage solutions to accommodate ever-expanding datasets can divert capital that might otherwise be invested in new sequencing technologies or advanced analytical tools.

Key Market Trends

The widespread adoption of cloud and hybrid storage models represents a significant shift in how Next-Generation Sequencing data is managed, offering enhanced scalability and flexibility that on-premises solutions often cannot match. These models enable research institutions and healthcare providers to dynamically scale their storage infrastructure in response to ever-increasing data volumes without substantial upfront capital expenditure. This operational agility facilitates collaboration and provides robust data access for global research initiatives. According to SQ Magazine in July 2025, the healthcare sector experienced a 41% year-over-year increase in cloud adoption, highlighting this growing reliance. Genomics England, for example, utilizes cloud technology to underpin its digital infrastructure, enabling advanced DNA analysis for better disease prevention and personalized patient care, demonstrating the practical application of these models in handling tens of petabytes of sensitive genomic data.
