Genetic Testing Services Market Overview

Genetic testing is a medical and scientific procedure that involves the examination and analysis of a person's DNA to understand their genetic makeup and genetic information. The genetic testing services market in the UK is anticipated to grow substantially due to a rise in the prevalence of genetic disorders and cancer. For instance, as per Genetic Alliance UK 2021, rare diseases affect 3.5 million people in the country; that is 1 in 17 people. As per Gene People UK 2023, it is estimated that 1 in 25 children suffer from a genetic disorder, meaning that 30,000 babies and children are newly diagnosed yearly in the UK, and over 2.4 million children and adults are suffering from a genetic disorder.

In Germany, noninvasive prenatal testing became available as a publicly reimbursed test in 2022. In addition, significant advances are being made in genomics, paving the way for enhanced access to personalized medicine. The UK established the infrastructure to support greater access to genomic testing, including a national network of genomic laboratories and Genomic Medicine Centers that provide clinical services. In 2019, the government announced Early Disease Detection Research Project UK, which is a significant new initiative that focuses on the major chronic diseases of adult life, including all cancers, cardiovascular disease, and other such diseases.

Genetic Testing Services Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Prevalence of Genetic Diseases Favors Market Growth

The prevalence of genetic diseases is rising across the world and impacting the health of people at a severe level. Genetic diseases show many symptoms that are uncommon and are mostly non-curable. According to The World Health Organization (WHO) 2021, 10 out of every 1,000 people are affected by single-gene diseases, signifying that 70 million and 80 million people worldwide are living with any one service type of single-gene disease. As per the Global Genes, ~7,000 known rare diseases and disorders have been identified worldwide, and more are being discovered every year. In 2022, a report by MJH Life Sciences (US) estimated that 300,000 newborns worldwide are born with sickle cell disease every year, accounting for ∼5% of the global population. In June 2020, as per Novartis AG (Switzerland) report, ∼15,000 individuals were suffering from sickle cell disease in the UK, and 270 newborns are diagnosed with the condition every year. Thus, the rising prevalence of genetic diseases fuels the demand for genetic testing, which in turn drives genetic testing services market growth.

Untapped Emerging Markets in Developing Countries

Emerging countries such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico offer significant growth opportunities to market players. The quality and availability of genetic services may differ between high-income countries and low- to middle-income countries. For instance, in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK, and other European countries, genetic services are well-advanced, established, and extensive. These services include newborn screening, carrier identification screening, and prenatal diagnosis. Yet, in many high-income countries, genetic services that are offered in multiple settings still need improved systems of assessment. Major market players are focusing on strategies and initiatives, such as agreements, collaborations, partnerships, and expansions, to improve their product availability, accessibility, and distribution networks in these countries, as it will help them address the growing need for early diagnosis and treatment.

The Chinese government identifies genomics as an important strategic field in its 14th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020) for the country's economic and social development. In 2016, the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the Precision Medicine Initiative, a 14-year project worth US$ 9.2 billion to sequence more than 100 million human genomes by 2030. In December 2017, China's Ministry of Science and Technology collaborated with a human genome research project to document the genetic makeup of 100,000 people. Employing the genetic data of nine different minority groups, researchers desire to decode hereditary information within genes. Therefore, emerging markets in developing countries are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the genetic testing services market during the forecast period.
