Blockchain in Genomic Data Management - Worldwide Markets, 2018-2030: It is Estimated that by 2025, Around 15% of the World's Population will Have had Their Genomes Sequenced

DUBLIN, Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Blockchain in Genomic Data Management: Market Landscape and Competitive Insights, 2018-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

'Blockchain in Genomic Data Management: Market Landscape and Competitive Insights, 2018-2030'

features an extensive study on the industry players that are offering blockchain platforms for the storage and management of genomic data.

The success of the Human Genome Project resulted in the generation of large volumes of genomic data, which is extensively used in biotechnology and medical research. Further, advancements in high throughput gene sequencing technologies have enabled scientists to expedite the genome sequencing process, and achieve significant cost benefits as well.

In fact, it is estimated that, by 2025, around 15% of the world's population will have had their genomes sequenced, resulting in the generation of several zettabytes of data.

However, currently, there are not many reliable and secure data management resources that offer secure storage, seamless exchange of information, and a reliable transaction platform, for large volumes of genomic and clinical data. Therefore, at this stage, it has become important to develop and establish the necessary tools and technologies to effectively help with the processing and analysis of the aforementioned information and for making it easily accessible to practicing physicians, scientists, pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders.

Key Highlights

• The current market landscape is relatively niche with a limited number of companies offering blockchain platforms for genomic data management. Of the total number of players involved, more than 35% are based in North America, primarily in the US. Examples of players based in this region include (in alphabetical order, no specific selection criteria) EncrypGen, GnoMine, LunaDNA, and Nebula Genomics. It is worth highlighting that companies are also based in developing regions, such as Brazil, India, Israel, Russia, Singapore, and South Korea.
• Majority of the companies (86%) are involved in offering services primarily to pharmaceutical players and research institutes. In addition, the companies also offer genomic data management through blockchain platforms to other key stakeholders such as data owners, software developers, and insurers.
• All the companies engaged in this domain offer genomic data sharing/transfer service to both data owners and data buyers. In addition, companies also claim to offer services, such as genomic data storage (87%), full data anonymity (87%), incentives for sharing their genomic data (87%), full genome sequencing (53%) and genetic counseling (27%), exclusively to data owners. Further, the services offered to data buyers include access to genomic datasets and genomic data analysis.
• An analysis of over 1,750 tweets on social media platforms, and the opinions expressed by industry experts highlight the unaddressed concerns related to genomic data management; these include privacy issues, unsafe transactions, and lack of safety/reliability related to stored genomic data. It is worth mentioning that these challenges can be addressed via exchanging data on blockchain platforms. A comprehensive sentiment analysis of the tweets demonstrated that 85% were positive, suggesting that, at this stage, stakeholders are optimistic regarding the future potential of blockchain platforms for managing genomic data.
• In order to enhance the adoption of blockchain platforms in genomic data management, stakeholders in the industry are exploring a variety of innovative marketing strategies. The most popular marketing strategies that are being implemented include the use of social media platforms to spread awareness related to blockchain platforms, online media and increasing participation in global events, such as conferences, to gain the required visibility in the market.
• The overall coin market capitalization is currently estimated to be around USD 400 million-USD 750 million, based on total maximum supply, circulation supply, and the price (in USD) of the utility tokens of different companies engaged in this domain. Considering that such platforms are readily adopted within the healthcare industry, the aforementioned value is anticipated to significantly increase in the long term.
• Overall, the market for genomic data management using blockchain platforms is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 43.5% between 2018 and 2030. While the current opportunity is higher for applications related to the development of personalized medicines, its scope in other application areas (such as advanced genetic testing services and identification of genotypic markers to enable better diagnosis) is anticipated to grow at a relatively faster rate in the forecast period.
