Optical genome mapping is a new technology used for whole genome mapping to enable precision diagnostics of genetic diseases. Optical mapping utilizes optical microscopy to capture images of elongated, individual DNA molecules to determine their physical arrangement (map), including structural variants and epigenetic features. It helps in characterizing the whole genome architecture of an organism and provides important insights about genetic variation and disease association. The technology has applications in cancer research, personalized medicine, and human genome mapping projects. Advantages of optical genome mapping over conventional genome sequencing methods include its ability to detect complex structural variations, epigenetic features as well as complete circular genomes of bacteria and plasmids. Growing prevalence of genetic disorders and cancer along with increasing focus on precision medicine is driving the demand for genomic studies, fueling the growth of the optical genome mapping market.

The Global Optical Genome Mapping Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 109.9 MN in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 21 % over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
