Direct-to-consumer Genetic Testing Market: Global Industry Analysis, Trends, Market Size, and Forecasts up to 2030
The report on the global direct-to-consumer genetic testing market provides qualitative and quantitative analysis for the period from 2021-2030. The revenue generated by the market was USD 139.58 million in 2022 and is expected treach 800.45 million in 2030 with a CAGR of 21.2% till 2030, during the projected period 2023-2030. The study on direct-to-consumer genetic testing market covers the analysis of the leading geographies such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW for the period of 2021-2030.
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that is offered tconsumers without a prescription or referral from a doctor. DTC genetic tests can be used tdetermine a person's genetic propensity for a number of ailments, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. They can alsbe used tdiscover someone's family history. These tests are typically ordered online, and customers receive a testing kit at home, which usually involves providing a saliva or cheek swab sample. The sample is then sent back tthe testing company, and the results are provided directly tthe consumer through an online platform or app. The driving factor of the market is the increasing use of the internet consumers now have easier access tDTCGT services owing tthe penetration of the Internet. Companies can now market their goods tcustomers directly via online channels such as websites and social media.
Carrier testing is expected tgrab the highest share in the global market during the forecast period. Carrier testing basically focuses on identifying individuals carrying gene mutations that can be transmitted ttheir offspring, and this testing plays a crucial role in assessing the risk of passing on genetic disorders tfuture generations. It is particularly relevant for individuals with a family history of genetic conditions or those planning tstart a family. The continued dominance of carrier testing can be attributed tits significant value in family planning and reproductive decision-making. By obtaining information about carrier status, individuals can make informed choices and take necessary precautions treduce the likelihood of transmitting genetic disorders. Due tthese several factors is expected tgrab high shares in the global market.
North America is tgrab the highest share in the global market. This can be attributed tthe prevalent consumer attitudes towards genetic testing as the people here are more inclined towards health and aware of the diseases. Furthermore, the increase in expenditure further propels the growth of the demand for Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing, which is expected tcontinue throughout the forecast period. The combination of consumer attitudes and increased expenditure contributes tthe market's dominance in North America, establishing it as a leading region in the global DTC genetic testing market. Moreover, the market growth in the region is expected tbe driven by the increasing number of product approvals and subsequent launches by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA's role in approving and regulating genetic testing products will contribute tthe expansion of the market. Additionally, the high concentration of key players in the region actively involved in research activities tinnovate novel genetic testing products will further fuel market growth.
