Introduction

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is referred to as genetic test that is sold directly to end-user through web, TV, or other marketing sites in the form of test kit without taking the Test Types of physicians or other healthcare Technologys. Moreover, these tests make use of next-generation sequencing technologies for testing the susceptibility of the consumers towards various kinds of ailments & traits.

Additionally, the breakthroughs in the genome sequencing technology have enabled DTC genetic testing firms to genotype many of the SNPs across gene with lesser costs. The improvements in genome sequencing technologies has sketched new paths for DTC genetic testing activities, thereby leading to creation of new firms such as 23andMe & Navigenics. Reportedly, these firms test people for myriad variants across gene related to complex disorders & usual traits.

Furthermore, there are wide array of tests available on internet. Some of the players of the Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing industry advertise tests for athletic ability and bitter taste insights. While other industry players highlight on healthcare-related products including carrier testing, testing for common ailment susceptibility, and pharmacogenomics testing.

In addition to this, many of the firms such as 23andMe and easyDNA UK offer susceptibility tests with latter offering predisposition DTC genetic testing for nearly 25 ailments such as atrial fibrillation, type 1 & type 2 diabetes, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.

Market Growth Factors

Direct-To-Consumer genetic tests offer information about genetic inclination towards a spectrum of disorders such as heart ailments, mental illness, diabetes, and Alzheimer. In addition to this, DTC genetic testing also offer information pertaining to genetic aspects that can affect the body reaction of the consumer to particular diet, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, and caffeine. Apparently, the tests also impart information about the genes that are related to eye color, athletic performance, and forms of male baldness. All these aforementioned factors are anticipated to accelerate the growth of Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing market over the years to come.

Moreover, DTC testing provides a plethora of benefits to the end-users and are easily available at affordable prices. Additionally, consumer can order the testing kit online and hence the borders do not act as a barrier for the consumer to avail the Test Type. With the business witnessing rapid decline in the costs over the last few years, the of Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing industry is likely to gain traction over the years ahead. All these aspects are expected to steer the surge in the Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing market size over the forecast timeframe.
