ONC vs ILMN Comparison

Formerly known as BeiGene and founded in 2010 in Beijing, BeOne is a commercial-stage biotech firm that produces oncology therapeutics. The company's main product is Brukinsa, which is a small-molecule drug that treats multiple forms of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. The company conducts drug discovery, runs global clinical trials, and manufactures drugs independently. As of 2025, Brukinsa made up for 74% of total revenue, while it has two other approved commercialized drugs in its portfolio, Beqalzi and Tevimbra. While Brukinsa has a global leadership, the other two drugs generate revenue mostly from China. Based on Brukinsa, BeOne competes with AbbVie and AstraZeneca mainly. The company also has more than 50 drugs in clinical trials in its active pipeline, focused on other cancers.

Illumina provides tools and services to analyze genetic material with life science and clinical lab applications. The company generates over 90% of its revenue from sequencing instruments, consumables, and services. Illumina's high-throughput technology enables whole genome sequencing in humans and other large organisms. Its lower throughput tools enable applications that require smaller data outputs, such as viral and cancer tumor screening. Illumina also sells microarrays that enable lower-cost, focused genetic screening with primarily consumer and agricultural applications.
