From the technology forefront, the current technologies used in the NGS market are Whole Genome Sequencing, Targeted Resequencing, Whole Exome Sequencing, RNA Sequencing, Chip Sequencing, De Novo Sequencing and Methyl Sequencing. Microarray based, genome wide association studies (GWAS) have been the most common approach for identifying disease associations across the whole genome. The rapid drop in sequencing cost and the ability of WGS to rapidly produce large volumes of data make it a powerful tool for genomics research. WGS is considered to be the fastest growing segment of the NGS market. It is one of the reasons that there has been a considerable price decline when it comes to genomic research. Currently, Targeted Resequencing the most dominant technology used in the global NGS market. Exome sequencing is considered to be the most widely used targeted sequencing method in the market currently. Following them are other technologies such as RNA sequencing, Chip Sequencing, De Novo and Methyl Sequencing.

The major market players in the NGS market are Roche, Qiagen, Illumina, Perkin Elmer, Life Technologies, Agilent Technologies, Beijing Genomics Institute, DNAstar, Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences.
