Watch the recording and gain answers to the questions:

• How has Covid-19 impacted EIU Healthcare’s forecast data on the global NGS market (with focus in Asia-Pacific and Europe markets) – for sequencing instruments and in test areas such as oncology, NIPT and infectious diseases? When can growth recovery be expected?
• What is the longer term outlook on sequencing-based testing opportunities in these areas?
• How is increasing competition posed by rising domestic players in countries such as China and new commercial models shaping the market?
• How will the market for NGS testing evolve as technology development is expected to reduce the operational cost of NGS testing for smaller volume labs?
• How will the growing adoption of NGS impact the use of other competing diagnostic technologies in areas such as molecular diagnostics and tissue diagnostics?
