Metabolomics is the study of the metabolome of a given biological sample. The metabolome of a sample is the complete set of metabolites found in it. Metabolites are formed as a result of the metabolic processes of cells and can be detected and analyzed using metabolomics procedures. The nature of the metabolome of the sample can reveal the nature of the cellular metabolism in it. Furthermore, metabolomic studies can also shed light on the genotypic factors responsible for a metabolic process. This is a crucial factor driving the global metabolomics market and is expected to remain highly influential for the trajectory of the market in light of ongoing advances in genetics.

Use of Metabolomics in Personalized Medicine Drives Global Metabolomics Market

Personalized medicine, which is becoming increasingly popular in developed regions, requires intensive information on the genetic makeup of an individual and how it affects the individual’s metabolic processes. Medicine given to the person can then be customized according to the way the medicine will express in their body and how their genetic makeup will affect the medicine.

Metabolomics is a crucial field in this endeavor, since the data gained from metabolomic studies is reliable as well as comprehensive. Metabolomic procedures are relatively quick to run and can be easily scaled up or down depending on the size of the biological sample. The sample in question can vary from a cell culture to an organism.
