Key Trends Fueling Growth
- Advancements in next-generation sequencing:
- Advancements in genetic testing technologies and increasing market competition have slashed the cost of genetic testing. Start-ups, unable to match established players like Abbott Laboratories, Illumina, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, focus on cost reduction to stay afloat. For instance, some start-ups offer BRCA tests for breast cancer diagnosis at just $50.
- High-throughput genetic testing and NGS technologies have significantly lowered sequencing costs from $90-100 million in 2000 to $900-1,000 in 2020. Companies like 23andMe have cut test prices by 80-90% using advanced sequencing tech. This cost reduction has expanded access to genetic testing, especially for those with limited budgets, boosting consumer bases.
- Additionally, since some tests like ancestry and predictive testing aren't covered by insurance globally, cheaper tests help companies overcome reimbursement challenges. These factors are driving rapid growth in the global genetic testing market.

Major Challenges:
- Varying regulations on genetic testing and research globally
- Regulatory standards vary globally for genetic testing, posing challenges for market vendors. Accurate test results are crucial in healthcare decisions. Compliance with regulations from US FDA, EMEA, ATGA, WHO, ISO, and CFDA ensures product quality and safety. However, differing regulations, like acceptable DNA limits in qPCR studies, complicate compliance.
- Genetic test definitions lack global consensus, affecting policymaking. Regulations also differ for predictive and diagnostic tests, and for PCR kits—US FDA regulates under 21 CFR, while Europe uses IVD Directive.
- Clinical labs must adhere to validation requirements, and test results must meet CMS, CLIA, and EMA standards. These variations hinder compliance, potentially impacting market growth.
