Genetic Genealogy Market Size is valued at USD 971.17 Mn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 2187.61 Mn by the year 2034 at an 8.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Numerous benefits of genetic analysis make it more necessary than ever among the global population. Genetic analysis offers possible medical benefits and assists patients, cancers, and healthcare providers in modifying the therapy and healthcare given to an individual as well as to their families. A successful genetic study can also provide the patient with diagnostic data so they can receive the proper medication or treatment.
Cancer and heart disease sufferers are becoming more numerous over time in Canada. As per the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is a factor in about 28.2% of deaths in Canada. Between 2015 and 2030, the number of newly diagnosed cancer cases is projected to rise by approximately 40%. The society has released its annual cancer statistics in order to make long-term projections regarding the disease's burden. By 2030, an estimated 277,000 individuals per year will be diagnosed with cancer.
The Genetic Genealogy market has been segmented based on test type, application, and end-user. The market is broadly divided into autosomal DNA tests, Y-chromosome DNA tests, and mitochondrial DNA tests based on test type. The application segment includes heredity and genetic disorders, paternal/maternal lineages, ancestral origins, and others. The end-user segment comprises direct-to-customer testing companies, law enforcement agencies, research institutes, academic organizations, and others.
Due to its nucleic origin and equal contribution of genetic material from both parents to their offspring, autosomal DNA testing dominates the market. Every person receives half of their nuclear DNA from their mother and half from their father. Autosomal DNA testing is essential for precisely establishing a family tree since every person has a specific proportion of identical autosomal DNA. This pattern continues through each generation, resulting in approximately 25% of DNA from each grandmother, 12.5% from each great-grandparent, and so forth.
For several compelling reasons, direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing companies have quickly taken over the genetic genealogy testing market. They give the most unequalled convenience first and foremost. DTC testing allows anyone to order a DNA testing kit online or in person, collect their DNA samples at home, and ship the samples back for analysis. Because there is no longer a need for intermediaries or healthcare professionals, this simplified procedure is open to a variety of customers.
The largest market share was registered in North America. The fundamental reason for the rapid expansion of the genealogy products and services market is the presence of key market leaders in the area, together with a highly established healthcare infrastructure. Market expansion is being fueled by large firms' high-end investments and robust economic growth. The availability of appealing reimbursement policies for healthcare services and consumer knowledge of the advantages of quality care are driving the market's expansion.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
