Global Genetic Testing Market Overview:
Molecular diagnostics market is growing at a significant rate due to increasing awareness for the same and rising investments in the diagnostic research. The growing number of test to study multiple genes that may help in managing an individual health condition and the Government initiative to spread awareness with respect to the advantages of the procedure is further expected to drive the growth of the Global Genetic testing market. Genetic disorders are the main reason for chronic diseases. Genetic testing provides technologies which are useful for the early detection of genetic disorders and ensures their treatment and prevention. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of all single-gene diseases at birth is approximately 10 per 1,000 births. Prenatal genetic testing is a technique which helps to detect whether the fetus has any genetic disorders. The genetic disorders are caused due to mutations occurring in genes or change in the DNA of a person. Genetic testing is also performed on tumors to diagnose a disease like Cancer and plan the treatment.
Market Drivers
- Increased application of gene testing in Oncological research
- The rising prevalence of genetic disorders
- Technological advancements
- Increasing demand for personalized medicine.
Market Trend
- The shift of focus from clinical science to bioinformatics and growing popularity of these techniques, leading to high rate of adoption of genetic testing technology.
Restraints
- Inaccuracies in results and reimbursement issues
- High-cost factor and lack of professional expertise in this market may hamper the market growth rate.
Opportunities
- Genetic tests in conjugation with other genomic technologies helping to predict the risk of an individual to a disease assisting clinicians to select suitable therapeutic interventions. These factors provide opportunities for vendors to grow in pharmaceutical industry.
Challenges
- Lack of awareness about genetic diseases and testing in several developing regions.
