Global Genetic Testing Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global genetic testing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.86% from 2024 to 2029. As a result, the global genetic testing market is forecasted to grow to USD 16844 million by 2029 from USD 10525 million in 2024.

Genetic testing is a medical test used to study an individual's DNA to identify gene changes. The results derived from genetic testing help identify the risk of genetic diseases and guide the development of appropriate medical treatments. The DNA of a person in the form of saliva, blood and other tissues will be collected and tested in laboratories using various techniques such as PCR, sequencing and microarray analysis in genetic testing. People and healthcare providers can leverage the results of genetic testing to ensure the development of genetic diseases or pass on genetic mutations to their children. The adoption of genetic testing is grown rapidly in the last decade owing to the benefits associated with such as early diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders, improved disease management and prevention, more informed reproductive choices, identification of genetic risks for family members and personalized medical care based on genetic makeup.

Global Genetic Testing Market Drivers:

The growing demand for personalized medicine fuels the growth of the genetic testing market during the forecast period. The usage of genetic testing to develop personalized medicine by studying the genetic makeup of patients has increased significantly in recent years. In genetic testing, the DNA of an individual will be tested and their genetic variations, to evaluate the possibilities for genetic diseases and develop appropriate personalized treatment plans. Personalized treatment plans are believed to more effective and offer improved health outcomes to patients. Likewise, the growing usage of personalized medicine is resulting in the increased usage of genetic testing and contributing to market growth due to the critical role that genetic testing plays in the development of personalized medicine. As per the survey conducted by the American Medical Association, an estimated 92% of physicians have agreed that they have been using genetic testing to inform decisions and 80% believed that the importance and application of genetic testing are going to increase in the coming years.

The growing prevalence of genetic diseases propels the growth of the genetic testing market. WHO says an estimated 400 million people worldwide suffer from genetic diseases, which is approximately 1 in 17 people. The growing patient population suffering from genetic diseases has been promoting the demand for genetic testing to identify and manage these conditions. With the growing number of technological developments in genetic sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, genetic testing services have become more accessible and affordable. In recent years, the usage of next-generation sequencing has increased dramatically due to its benefits, such as faster and more accurate analysis of genetic information. The awareness among healthcare providers and people about genetic testing and its potential benefits has increased significantly over the last few years and the trend is expected to improve further in the coming years and drive the genetic testing market growth.

In addition, the growing number of initiatives and funding by the governments of several countries for the research and development of genetic testing favors the market’s growth rate. In recent years, the adoption of direct-to-consumer genetic testing has grown significantly due to the growing willingness of consumers to learn more about their ancestry and genetic makeup and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years and support the market’s growth rate. The growing usage of genetic testing in sports medicine and the assessment of genealogical relationships is anticipated to boost the growth rate of the genetic testing market during the forecast period. The rising demand for prenatal testing is adding fuel to the growth of the genetic testing market. The expectant parents are showing interest these days in learning about genetic abnormalities and making informed decisions about the health of their unborn child and likewise contributing to the market growth.

Furthermore, the growing demand for early disease detection, rising emphasis on precision medicine, an increasing number of advancements in gene editing technology, increasing availability of genetic data and rising demand for pharmacogenomics are expected to showcase a positive impact on the growth of the genetic testing market. Factors such as the increasing adoption of genetic testing in oncology research and increasing demand for ancestry testing favor market growth.

Global Genetic Testing Market Restraints:

High costs associated with genetic testing are one of the major factors restraining the market growth. The lack of skilled persons to analyze the reports due to a smaller number of training institutes is expected to slow down the market growth to a small extent. Furthermore, genetic testing equipment in laboratories needs maintenance and regular inspection to have accurate results, which requires lots of investments to inhibit the global genetic testing market's growth rate. Furthermore, lack of standardization in maintaining appropriate procedures in testing and growing concern towards the authentication of genetic reports where people demand privacy and security are further damaging the acceleration of the market. Stringent rules and regulations by higher authorities in approving new products, significantly improving genetic testing services, are also declining the growth of the global genetic testing market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global genetic testing market:

Coronavirus has kept many lives at risk, and many countries have adversely affected people. World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic and adopted countries-wide lockdowns and made guidelines to maintain social distance. However, it resulted in a down phase, limitations, challenges, and changes in every industry sector. The pandemic negatively impacted the genetic testing market because genetic counselors could not see the patients in person, doctors were not available for counseling, and laboratories could not run because of government guidelines. As a result, genetic testing activities have been postponed. Clinics and health providers are using Telehealth as a measure to conduct genetic counseling, and it is expected to be normal in 2021.
