The South Korea next generation sequencing market size reached USD 512.9 Million in 2025. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 1,767.3 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 14.29% during 2026-2034. The growth of the market is driven by advancements in genomics, personalized medicine, and cancer research. Government support and improved accuracy, speed, and affordability of sequencing technologies are expanding applications across healthcare, agriculture, and research, thereby enhancing South Korea next generation sequencing market share.

SOUTH KOREA NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING MARKET TRENDS:

Increase in Applications for Cancer Research

In the discipline of cancer research, the next generation sequencing (NGS) market in South Korea is expanding significantly. NGS has become a crucial technique for detecting genetic mutations and changes in cancer cells due to advancements in genomics. NGS is being used by researchers to predict patient responses to treatment, comprehend tumor heterogeneity, and identify new biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. The growing demand for tailored cancer treatments is the driving force behind this movement, as NGS offers comprehensive genetic insights that support the creation of customized therapy regimens. As per industry reports, in 2024, Korea is expected to report 292,221 new cancer cases and 83,770 cancer-related deaths. With cancer being a leading cause of death in South Korea, the demand for NGS in oncology research is expected to continue its upward trajectory, further contributing to South Korea next generation sequencing market growth.

Rising Demand for Personalized Medicine

One of the main factors propelling the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) market in South Korea is personalized medicine. Through the examination of individual genetic profiles made possible by NGS technology, doctors can better customize therapies based on genetic variants, increasing therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. NGS-based diagnostic techniques are in greater demand due to the growing emphasis on individualized treatment strategies, especially in oncology, rare disorders, and pharmacogenomics. The use of NGS for customized treatment in South Korea is also being accelerated by government programs and investments in medical technology. NGS is anticipated to play a crucial role in promoting personalized medicine as the healthcare industry shifts to more targeted therapies, which will greatly contribute to the growth of the next generation sequencing market in South Korea. For instance, in May 2025, Twist Bioscience and Element Biosciences expanded their collaboration to offer end-to-end sequencing workflows, from library prep to sequencing, using Element's AVITI platform. Twist will exclusively provide library prep and target enrichment workflows for Element’s Trinity sequencing technology. This partnership aims to improve access to high-quality, cost-effective next-generation sequencing tools for researchers, enhancing scientific discoveries across multiple fields.
