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.
