Metagenomics Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global metagenomics market size was valued at USD 738.10 Million in 2024, driven by the rising emphasis on dealing with antibiotic resistance. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.20% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to rise from USD 842.5 Million in 2025 to USD 2.78 billion by 2034.

Metagenomics: Introduction

Metagenomics is the study of complex microbial communities in their natural habitat. It involves whole genome sequencing analysis of an entire community of microorganisms that may be present on and in the body (animals, humans, fish, or insects), air, soil, water samples and food. Metagenomics involves several tools, techniques, and approaches that allow direct and total genetic analysis. It is widely recommended as it allows the diagnosis of unculturable microorganisms via genomic assemblies.

Global Metagenomics Market Analysis

Metagenomics has found its application in several domains, including climate challenges, clinical diagnostics, food and nutrition, veterinary diagnostics and more. Consequently, the demand has seen a significant pick-up in recent years. The metagenomics market growth is driven by the advent of technically advanced techniques like targeted metagenomic sequencing and shotgun sequencing.

With the growing prevalence of chronic illnesses, there has been significant concentration on speeding up drug development across the globe. In May 2023, Ginkgo Bioworks and Boehringer Ingelheim entered a strategic partnership to put Ginkgo's metagenomic sequence database to use and search and accelerate the drug discovery process, particularly for ailments with unmet patient needs. Such mergers are a clear indication that the metagenomics market demand will witness substantial progress during the forecast period.

The market growth is driven by the increasing emphasis on combating antimicrobial resistance. Antibiotic resistance bloodstream infections have been a growing area of concern amongst scientists. Bloodstream infections may lead to multiple organ failure, sepsis and even death, as a result, early and apt therapy is highly critical to control the infection. When compared to conventional methods, metagenomic sequencing provides rapid and precise research results, making it a preferred alternative for researchers.
