by Epigenetics drugs and diagnostic technologies involve the study of how environmental factors can cause changes in gene expression that affect the phenotype without altering the underlying DNA sequence. These technologies enable researchers to gain insights into biological markers that can help diagnose diseases as well as develop therapeutics. Epigenetics drugs include HDAC inhibitors and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors that are used in cancer treatments to suppress gene expression. Epigenetics diagnostic technologies involve chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, bisulfite sequencing, DNA methylation arrays, and others used to analyze DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications. The growing demand for less invasive diagnostic tools and targeted therapies is driving investments in epigenetics research. Advancements in next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics and other areas are helping unravel the epigenetic basis of diseases.
The global Epigenetics Drugs and Diagnostic Technologies Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 12.91 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the epigenetics drugs and diagnostics market is the increasing adoption of epigenetic biomarkers and assays to develop non-invasive liquid biopsy tests for cancer screening and recurrence monitoring. Traditionally, tumor biopsies have involved invasive surgical procedures. However, circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis allows detection of tumor-specific DNA alterations through a simple blood draw. Several companies are focused on exploring the potential of cfDNA methylation markers and chromatin immunoprecipitation applications for non-invasive cancer detection and monitoring response to therapies. This is expected to significantly improve early cancer diagnosis and management over the forecast period.
