The direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.73 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.1%. Looking ahead to the forecast period, growth is anticipated due to factors such as the rise in demand for rapid and accurate disease diagnosis, a growing emphasis on wellness and preventive healthcare, increased demand for rapid and on-site diagnostic testing, the escalation of infectious disease outbreaks, and the increasing prevalence of telemedicine services. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS), RNA detection and analysis technologies, single-cell PCR analysis, advancements in bioinformatics software and data analysis tools, the utilization of microfluidic technologies and lab-on-a-chip systems, and the expansion of point-of-care testing (POCT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics in diagnostic practices.
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is poised to drive the growth of the direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing market in the foreseeable future. Infectious diseases encompass illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, which are transmitted from person to person through various means such as direct or indirect contact, or via vectors such as insects or animals. The prevalence of infectious diseases is influenced by a multitude of factors, including biological, environmental, social, and economic aspects. DTC laboratory testing plays a vital role in preventing, detecting, and managing infectious diseases by enhancing access to testing, facilitating early intervention, and supporting public health efforts through data collection and education. For instance, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in November 2023, approximately 10.6 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) occurred globally in 2022, affecting individuals across various demographics. Therefore, the escalating prevalence of infectious diseases is fueling the growth of the direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing market.
Key players in the DTC laboratory testing market are actively developing innovative solutions, such as mobile phlebotomy services, to improve convenience and accessibility for their customers. Mobile phlebotomy services entail bringing blood collection (phlebotomy) to the patient's location, typically their home or workplace, eliminating the need for patients to visit medical facilities for blood tests. For example, in July 2023, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, a US-based company specializing in diagnostic testing and services, introduced Quest Mobile, a new service designed to simplify the specimen collection process for laboratory testing nationwide. Quest Mobile enables patients to conveniently schedule appointments for at-home specimen collection by skilled phlebotomists. This user-friendly option allows patients to undergo various laboratory tests from the comfort of their homes, ensuring ease and accessibility in the testing process.
In May 2023, Getlabs, a US-based provider of at-home diagnostic collections, collaborated with Nice Healthcare to enhance access to in-home healthcare services and lab testing. This strategic partnership aims to streamline the overall healthcare experience for individuals by leveraging the combined strengths of both entities. Nice Healthcare, a US-based provider of in-home and virtual primary care services, complements Getlabs' offerings, further expanding access to essential healthcare services and lab testing for individuals.
