Epigenetics studies chemical marks on DNA that turn genes on and off, used in research, cancer tests and drug discovery.
Key segments of the epigenetics market include product (Reagents, Kits and Instruments) and application (Oncology, Developmental Biology and Metabolic Diseases).
The falling cost of DNA sequencing, more targeted medicines, large national genome programmes and growing use of genetic results in everyday care are driving the epigenetics market.
Routine use of genomics in screening, pharmacy and primary care gives the epigenetics market large room to grow.
Data privacy concerns, limited reimbursement for some tests, shortages of genetic counsellors and complex data analysis hold back the epigenetics market.
The epigenetics market is moderately concentrated. Leading companies compete on product innovation, clinical evidence, pricing and geographic reach, and use partnerships and acquisitions to expand their portfolios.
Medsafe, part of the Ministry of Health, approves medicines before they can be sold.[1] Pharmac decides which medicines and medical devices the public health system pays for.[2]
Regulators such as the US FDA, the European Medicines Agency and national drug authorities set approval, pricing and safety rules for epigenetics. Reimbursement decisions by public payers and insurers shape how fast new therapies reach patients in New Zealand.
