Multi-omics Market Size, Trends, Growth, Industry Share, and Analysis for Forecasts 2024 to 2029

Omics has turned out to be a new mantra in molecular research. It is the field of study in biological sciences that ends in the suffix – omics. Many areas of research can be classified as omics such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.

• Genomics studies genes and their function. Genomics finds application in drug discovery and development, diagnostics & therapeutic decision-making, agriculture, animal research and other applications
• Transcriptomics studies mRNAs. It is widely used for clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, toxicogenomic and other applications
• Proteomics studies proteins. It is used for clinical diagnosis of cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, immune diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes, etc. and drug discovery.
• Metabonomics studies small molecules involved in cellular metabolism. It is a powerful research tool that is currently being applied to various aspects of drug and biomarker discovery, toxicology research, nutrigenomics and other applications

A complete understanding of human health and diseases warrants interpretation of molecular intricacy and variations at multiple levels such as genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. With the advent of sequencing technology, biology has become increasingly reliant on data generated at these levels, which collectively is called “multi-omics” data. The availability of multi-omics data has revolutionized the field of medicine and biology. Data integration across different platforms (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) helps in understanding causal relationships across multiple levels of cellular organization. It offers unparalleled opportunities to understand the underlying biology of complex diseases such as cancer.

“The advent of Multi-omics is turning scientists into molecular detectives and helping them to delve into the depths of disease. It allows researchers and scientists to probe the more complex and transient molecular changes that underpin the course of disease and responses to treatment, helping them better select the right drug target.”

Single-cell Analysis Enters the Multi-Omics Era

A cell's condition can be defined by the interplay between its genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome. Riding on the development of these omics technologies, multi-omics technologies for single cells have emerged that can capture multiple omic layers from the same cell. Profiling multiple omic layers makes it possible to capture a more complete set of information about each cell than is possible from any single omic layer alone. Single-cell multi-omics better reflects the complex network of interactions responsible for cellular functions and hence are considered more powerful than stand-alone omics. Single-cell multi-omics technologies are set to take centre stage in biomedical research as they characterise cells and tissues at an unparalleled molecular and architectural resolution. For instance,

• In June 2024, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. announced the launch of the ddSEQ™ Single-Cell 3' RNA-Seq Kit and the complementary Omnition v1.1 analysis software for single-cell transcriptome and gene expression research
• In November 2023, OWKIN and 10x Genomics, Inc. announced an agreement to incorporate 10x Genomics' spatial omics and single-cell technologies into the MOSAIC project, which is renowned for its innovative tumour analysis for therapeutic discovery

Key Challenges / Restraints

The multi-omics market faces significant hurdles, including complex workflows and a lack of standardization, which hinder data integration and reproducibility. Additionally, high costs, lack of skilled labour, and ethical and regulatory concerns regarding data privacy and informed consent further constrain market growth.

Growth Insights for the Multi-omics Market: Products and Services Segment

In the multi-omics market, the product segment dominates revenue due to the continuous advancements in instruments, consumables, and software that are crucial for detailed multi-omics research. These products enable comprehensive analyses across genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The service segment is also growing fast, driven by the rising demand for specialized support in managing complex multi-omics workflows and ensuring precise, reproducible results. Together, innovative products and essential services are driving significant advancements and broader applications in the multi-omics field.

Understanding the Dynamics of Multi-Omics Market: Bulk and Single-Cell Analysis

The multi-omics market by type is divided into two primary segments: bulk and single-cell multi-omics, each playing pivotal roles in advancing biological understanding and therapeutic development. Bulk analysis involves extracting and analyzing genetic material from a population of cells, offering insights into average gene expression levels and genetic variations across a sample. This method dominates the current multi-omics landscape due to its established protocols and broader applicability in studying complex diseases and biological processes. However, single-cell analysis has gained significant traction for its ability to dissect cellular heterogeneity by profiling individual cells, providing precise insights into cell-to-cell variability and rare cell populations. Single-cell technologies are rapidly expanding, driven by advancements in sequencing and bioinformatics, catering to the growing demand for personalized medicine and detailed biological understanding.
