[198 Pages Report] The Human Microbiome Market size was estimated at USD 1.58 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.96 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 23.90% to reach USD 7.11 billion by 2030.
The human microbiome is the collective genomes of the microorganisms that reside on and inside the human body. These include bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotic microbes. The human body hosts trillions of these microbial cells, which can influence bodily functions and health. It assists in the digestion of food, protection against pathogens, and the development of the immune system. Meanwhile, the rise in chronic disease prevalence and a growing need for research linking the microbiome to various health conditions further stokes demand for microbiome-based diagnostics and therapeutics. The growing need for a microbiome in nutrition propels the demand for a human microbiome to support and influence overall wellness and immune function. However, the regulatory hurdles associated with approving live biotherapeutic products and complexities in comprehending and manipulating the microbiome present a significant challenge for the key players. Companies are continuously focusing on research and development (R&D) activities and cost-effective and accessible sequencing technologies to optimize their business growth. Moreover, the advancements in developing novel human microbiome therapeutics and rising investments present a significant opportunity for the key companies operating in the global space. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced machine learning (ML) are integrated with microbiome research to understand complex microbial interactions better and develop novel therapeutic solutions.
Technology: Recent advancements in 16s rRNA sequencing and omics technology to investigate molecular factors and processes in human body
16s ribosomal RNA sequencing is a widely used method for identifying and comparing bacteria within a sample. It focuses on the 16S rRNA gene, a component of the 30S small subunit of prokaryotic ribosomes, which is highly conserved within different species of bacteria and archaea. This technique helps researchers classify and determine the phylogeny of bacteria, providing insights into the microbiome’s composition. On the other hand, cell culture technology involves growing cells under controlled conditions, typically outside their natural environment. In microbiome research, cell culture technology allows scientists to isolate and maintain microorganisms for study. High-throughput technologies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS), have revolutionized the speed and scale at which microbial communities can be studied. These methods allow for the simultaneous sequencing of millions of DNA molecules, offering a comprehensive view of the microbiome’s diversity and function. Moreover, metagenomic sequencing analyzes the genetic material obtained from environmental samples, helping researchers bypass the need to cultivate organisms in the lab. This technology helps study the human microbiome by allowing for a culture-independent examination of the genetic material of all microorganisms present, including those not easily cultured in vitro. Furthermore, omics technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, provide holistic views and high-resolution insights into biological systems. In microbiome research, these technologies investigate various molecular factors and processes, such as the genomics RNA transcripts, proteomics, and metabolites of microbial communities.
Application: The increasing adoption of the human microbiome in healthcare diagnostics and therapeutics to cater to various health conditions
The human microbiome, comprised of the collective genome of microorganisms residing in and on the human body, has become an area of increasing interest for its potential in diagnostics. Advancements in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics have allowed researchers to correlate specific microbial compositions and activities with various health conditions. For diagnostics, analysis of the human microbiome facilitates the identification of biomarkers for diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. In the therapeutic domain, the human microbiome offers the potential for personalized medicine through microbiota-based treatments. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is used to treat clostridium difficile infections by restoring a healthy microbial balance.
Regional Insights
