As Genome Sequencing heads to $100 Direct-to-Consumer, a potential opportunity worth $50 Bn is expected to open up, leading to a million terabytes of genome data by 2025.

The genome sequencing market will reach $25 Bn by 2026, further intensified by COVID-19, and oncology and rare disease diagnostics coupled with pan-genome studies. Adjacent markets of data storage, high-performance computing (HPC), lab automation, and AI are anticipated to see unlocking of a further $20 Bn.

According to MarketsandMarkets analysis,

$50 Bn of potential opportunity is opening up as genome sequencing heads to $100 direct-to-consumer, which was one of the most talked-about trends in 2021.
The global genomic studies and projects comprising advanced genetic sequencing are expected to drive better clinical decision-making in the coming years, presenting lucrative growth opportunities to NGS companies.
Additionally, the life sciences market is witnessing an increased adoption of AI, personalized healthcare, gene editing, etc., which is likely to disrupt the demand for genomics, in turn impacting the growth of the market.
The increasing demand for sequencing and bioinformatics in diagnostics is predicted to disrupt the demand for IVD over the next few years.

MarketsandMarkets is focused on high-growth, niche markets, such as AI in genomics, spatial genomics & transcriptomics, liquid biopsy, single-cell analysis, and related markets, providing a comprehensive understanding of the entire genomics ecosystem through the World’s First Market Intelligence Cloud, ‘KnowledgeStore’. It helps find blind spots in clients’ revenue decisions because of interconnections and unknowns that impact clients and their client’s clients.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, reminds businesses operating in New York State that the governor, Kathy Hochul, has recently signed into law new requirement on the use of flame retardants in furniture, mattresses and electronic enclosures with displays.

This ground-breaking bipartisan Bill (A5418B and companion bill S4630), is the first in the US to prohibit the entire group of organohalogen flame retardants in electronic enclosures, such as televisions. It amends Article 37 in the state’s Environmental Conservation Law and inserts Title X (10), to be called the ‘Family and Fire Fighter Protection Act’.

Title X reads:

TITLE X

REGULATION OF CHEMICALS IN UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE, MATTRESSES AND ELECTRONIC ENCLOSURES

The Act has several definitions of which stakeholders should be aware:

• “Covered flame-retardant chemical” – any chemical that meets both of the following criteria:
  1. Functional use to resist or inhibit the spread of fire or as a synergist to chemicals that resist or inhibit the spread of fire
  2. One of the following: a halogenated, organophosphorus, organonitrogen, or nanoscale chemical
• “Electronic enclosures with displays” – consumer product with a display screen and associated that, as its primary function, displays visual information from wired or wireless sources and is available for purchase by individuals or households for personal use in a residential space

Exemptions to the provisions in the Act relating to electronic displays include:  

• Screen areas of no more than 100 cm²
• Projectors
• Virtual reality headsets
• All-in-one video conference systems
• Displays that are integrated with appliances and are not available for purchase as separate products by end-users

Stakeholders should be aware of the following dates:

• December 31, 2022 – manufacturers of electronic displays sold in New York State must also submit an annual report identifying all flame retardants used in enclosures and their stands
• January 1, 2024 (per section 37-1003) – “no person shall sell or offer for sale in the state of New York any new, not previously owned, upholstered furniture or mattress, that contains, or a constituent component of which contains, any intentionally added covered flame retardant chemical, individually or in combination.”
• January 1, 2024 (per section 37-1007) – “no person shall sell or offer for sale in the state of New York any electronic display that contains an intentionally added organohalogen flame retardant chemical in the enclosure or stand of such electronic display.”

Failure to conform to the provisions in sections 37-1003 and 37-1007 can result in a civil penalty not exceeding USD 1,000 for each day during which violation continues. The penalty will increase to USD 2,500 for each day because of a second violation.  

Stakeholders are advised now check their products conform to the latest flame retardant restrictions in New York State.

Leading digital signage solutions provider NoviSign Digital Signage intensifies its commitment to curb the carbon emission levels in the US.

In partnership with the National Forest Foundation, the company has planted over 800 trees in national forests identified by the said organization.

Chad Bogan, NoviSign’s Director of Sales and Marketing, stated that "as our planet grows and carbon emissions increase, our responsibility to help offset the carbon footprint."

Under the company’s Plant a Tree campaign, which was first launched in November 2021, it vowed to plant one tree for every new software license that it sells.

"By planting trees for each NoviSign software license sold, we are making the planet a healthier place for our kids and future generations," added Bogan

US’ Greenhouse Gas Emission Increases

In 2021, the country reported a 6.2% increase in greenhouse gas emissions as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a report by the Rhodium Group in early January, this uptick was mainly driven by increased truck traffic and coal power usage as pandemic-prompted lockdowns were lifted and restrictions were eased.

Since the American Industrial Revolution (1820 to 1870) began, the country has gradually become one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters on the planet. In 2017 alone, about 6.5 billion tons of greenhouse gas (4.8 billion of which is carbon dioxide).

Fighting Harmful Emissions The Natural Way

Emitting greenhouse gas at significant levels is a consequence of performing many activities more conveniently and efficiently with the aid of oil, coal, and gas. These substances’ by-products cause air pollution and smog — and trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the decades-old climate change problem.

Experts consider reforestation as a natural antidote to this issue. Whether through tree planting or natural regeneration planning, having more trees in national forests can boost an area’s climate cooling power.

While there are other solutions available, including the shift to the use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, to plant a tree is something that’s more economical, doable, and scalable for many — individuals and entities alike.

In support of the National Forest Foundation’s tree-planting efforts, NoviSign commits to planting more and more trees not only to help fight global warming but also to provide a safe and natural habitat to wildlife.
