DNA Test Kits Global Market Report 2024

The DNA test kits market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.74 billion in 2023 to $2.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be linked to several factors, including the upsurge in direct-to-consumer genetic tests, heightened demand for DNA testing related to health and fitness, the aging population, an uptick in cancer prevalence, and an increasing need for disease diagnostics.

The DNA test kits market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the escalating demand for personalized drug development, a heightened emphasis on personalized medicine, increased healthcare spending, rising interest in health-focused tests, a shift towards preventive healthcare measures, and a growing focus on population health management. Key trends anticipated in this period encompass advancements in genetic testing technologies, the proliferation of digital health platforms, widespread adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs), utilization of wearable devices, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms, advancements in drug development, ecological monitoring applications, biodiversity assessment tools, and efforts in wildlife conservation.

The increasing prevalence of genetic disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the DNA test kits market in the coming years. Genetic disorders, stemming from abnormalities in the genome, can manifest through mutations in single genes (monogenic), multiple genes (polygenic), or chromosomal anomalies. Contributing factors to this rise include heightened awareness, advancements in diagnostic methodologies, lifestyle changes, and environmental influences leading to genetic mutations. DNA test kits play a pivotal role in identifying specific gene mutations or variations associated with inherited conditions, facilitating diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. For example, in April 2024, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 6,000 newborns, or one in 700 babies, are affected by Down syndrome annually. Additionally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2023, congenital diseases account for an estimated 240,000 neonatal deaths globally within 28 days of birth each year. Hence, the escalating prevalence of genetic disorders is a key driver behind the growth of the DNA test kits market.

Prominent players in the DNA test kits market are concentrating on developing innovative offerings, such as personalized DNA kits, to gain a competitive edge. Personalized DNA kits analyze an individual's DNA to provide tailored insights into their health, ancestry, and traits. For instance, in April 2023, MapMyGenome, an India-based genomics company, introduced BeautyMap, India's inaugural DNA-based test kit offering personalized recommendations for skincare and haircare products based on an individual's genetic profile. The kit includes a complimentary genetic counseling session with a certified genetic counselor, facilitating interpretation of results and informed decision-making regarding a customized beauty regimen.

In January 2023, QIAGEN N.V., a Germany-based biotechnology company, acquired Verogen Inc. for $150 million. This acquisition enables QIAGEN to provide a comprehensive workflow in human identification and forensics, bolstering its capacity to support investigators and researchers in advancing forensic science and accurately identifying suspects. Verogen Inc., based in the United States, specializes in providing DNA test kits for forensic and human identification applications, aligning with QIAGEN's strategic objectives to expand its portfolio and capabilities in key segments of genetic testing.

DNA test kits consist of materials and instructions for collecting an individual's DNA sample, typically obtained through saliva or cheek swabs. These kits facilitate genetic testing for ancestry, health traits, and disease predispositions, with samples usually sent to laboratories for analysis, yielding personalized genetic insights.

Common sample types for DNA test kits include saliva, blood, tissue, teeth and bones, and hair. Saliva, a fluid produced by salivary glands in the mouth, contains water, proteins, salts, and enzymes. These kits cater to a range of applications such as ancestry tracing, dietary analysis, and disease risk assessment, and are utilized by various entities including hospitals, diagnostic and forensic laboratories, as well as academic and research institutions.
