The main product of Bionano Genomics is Saphyr lab equipment, which can detect large structural variations and aberrations of chromosomes, which are not detectable by standard gene sequencers. Presently, this equipment are used to diagnose all sorts of neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, leukaemia, COVID-19, hepatocellular carcinoma, and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
This company’s total address market can reach $4 billion per year. In contrast, Wall Street analysts estimate that by 2020, Bionano Genomics’ revenue will be about $8 million. Company revenue is likely to be in the range of 18 – 19 million dollars this year.
Since Bionano Genomics’ Saphyr lab equipment is not directly a competitor to sequencers from other manufacturers because it is designed to detect different kinds of aberrations in chromosomes, competitive risks are relatively low. Moreover, Bionano Genomics must devote substantial resources to promoting its products to convince medical centres of the need for such purchase. That is why high costs and volatile sales dropped by a third in the last quarter. Yet, we can’t deny that Bionano Genomics is on a path to becoming a leader.
