Genetic Testing Market - Forecast(2020 - 2025)
Genetic Testing Market Overview:
According to the World Health Organization, around 10,000 diseases in the world are monogenetic.[1] Caused by modification or mutation in a single gene present in every single cell of a body, these diseases can only be prevented and diagnosed by a method called genetic testing. Thalassemia, one of the most prevalent genetic disorders in the world is considered a major public health concern. In Iran, around 8000 pregnancies every year are at risk of thalassemia. Statistics like these show the imperativeness of genetic testing which is useful in highlighting the vulnerabilities of diseases that are inherited genetically. Genetic testing market has a wide end-user industry, prominent ones being forensic and hospitals. In forensic testing, the process is used for legal purposes in order to solve cases with vague information available.With constantly rising population, genetic diagnosis is extremely essential in today’s world. The genetic testing market size in 2018 was estimated to be between $7,300-8,300 million. The market demand will experience a promising growth in the upcoming years with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 12.5%-13.5% during the forecast period of 2019-2025.

Genetic Testing Market Outlook:
Genetic testing is simply a process in which our DNA which is present in the cells and runs through the bloodlines of all living beings is extracted and put under thorough examination. Through this, changes in the structure of chromosomes are identified and it is easier to predict the kind of disease a person has contracted. Genetic testing is also useful in identifying the level of susceptibility that a person has towards disease in order to prevent it from materializing. North America with its eminent genetic testing centers including the ones in Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University leads the genetic testing market geographically. In 2018, the regional market share of North America was 45%-47% which is nearly half the size of the global market. According to MIT Technology Review, the number of people who got their DNA analyzed in 2017 nearly doubled as compared to previous years and exceeds 12 million in the current year.[2]Genetic Testing Market Growth Drivers:
Genetic Testing For Cancer Cure
According to World Health Organization, 9.6 million deaths occurred worldwide due to cancer in the year 2018.[3] These statistics are alarming as this disease is on an all-time high affecting the entire world, and is a borderline epidemic. Thanks to genetic testing, timely diagnosis for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bowel cancer, womb cancer, and prostate cancer is readily available. History of cancer in the family is a prerequisite for genetic testing and help in the prevention of this fatal disease. This application segment was one of the most prominent in the genetic testing market and is expected to grow steadily in the forecast period of 2019-2025.Proper Advertising By Genetic Testing Websites
Unlike the early 20th century, key market players of the genetic testing market do not have to struggle with convincing consumers about the benefits of DNA testing. According to MIT Technology Review, in 2016 Ancestry.com spent a whopping $109 million on television advertisements in the United States of America. Right below this, 23andMe.com spent $21 million on advertisements which helped them gain a lot of popularity.[4] Direct advertising does the trick and provides impetus to the market.Genetic Testing Market Challenges:
A major challenge faced by the genetics market is the lack of medical solutions for all the diseases diagnosed. While it is easy to predict which diseases a person is suffering or might suffer from, the proper prognosis is a challenge. Funded research in prognosis after disease detection is a much-needed way to combat this market challenge.![](https://www.industryarc.com/frontend/web/images/reports/Genetic%20Testing%20Market.jpg)
Genetic Testing Market Key Players Perspective:
