BD (Becton, Dickinson, and Co.) provides NGS workflow solutions through its bioscience unit within the life sciences segment, for which BD has reported 2017 revenue of $1.139 billion.RSS is within the molecular diagnostics business area of Roche’s diagnostics division, which last year generated CHF 1.920 billion ($1.999 billion) in revenue. Last year, Roche launched AVENIO circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) Analysis Kits, a portfolio of three NGS liquid biopsy assay kits for oncology research. Roche in 2013 shut down the 454 Life Sciences business it acquired from CuraGen six years earlier but retains a Roche Sequencing Solutions (RSS) business focused on simplifying workflows and expanding assay menus.One example is Eurofins Group, which in June 2017 acquired GATC, a sequencing provider that generated about €20 million ($24.5 million) in annual revenue at the time of its purchase. Another example is bioMérieux, which partnered with Illumina to develop bioMérieux EpiSeq™, an NGS service for epidemiological monitoring of bacterial infections launched in 2015 as the first commercial system for using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to monitor outbreaks in hospitals.Īlso not included below are corporate giants-companies that provide workflow solutions around sequencing, though not sequencing technologies or services per se-and which do not break out sequencing revenues: Each company is listed by name, 2017 revenues, and a short description of recent company activity, where the revenues were derived, or both.īeyond the top 10 are numerous companies positioning themselves for future growth in sequencing. The pace of sequencing progress has quickened since then, with Illumina last year unveiling the NovaSeq, trumpeting the newer sequencer as potentially enabling a $100 genome.īelow is a list of 10 top sequencing companies, ranked by revenue-either companywide for companies entirely focused on the segment, or for companies with broader operations, figures for sequencing-related business segments.

That cost fell four orders of magnitude from $10 million at the end of 2007, to under $5,000 at the end of 2013.
