The hereditary cancer testing market size was estimated to be US$ 5.05 billion in 2021 and US$ XX billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 14.59 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 11.3% in 2023–2031. increasing prevalence of hereditary cancer and growing awareness about hereditary cancer are driving factors. Preference for personalized medicines will likely remain key to hereditary cancer testing market trends.
Cancer is a genetic disorder caused by definite variations in genes that govern cell functioning, particularly affecting their growth and replication. Hereditary genetic mutations cause 5–10% of all cancers. The researchers have related mutations in particular genes with more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes affecting individuals developing certain cancers. Furthermore, ~5–10% of breast cancers are related to the mutated genes inherited from parents. Variations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are prevalent. Women with a BRCA1 mutation have ~72% lifetime risk of growing breast cancer, while those with the BRCA2 mutation have ~69% risk of the same.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market for hereditary cancer testing. The region has huge potential for hereditary cancer testing market players owing to government support in countries like South Korea for cancer awareness and other initiatives. The demand for genetic sequencing in China is growing, mainly due to the country’s rising middle class, elderly population, and increasing healthcare system. As per WHO data, the Chinese government has implemented the “Healthy China 2030” plan, which is useful for its population.
The awareness regarding hereditary cancer conditions is growing due to various efforts made by the government. In the past decade, public medical, health, and scientific communities have invested in spreading awareness regarding hereditary cancer conditions, with a major focus on hereditary cancer risk, family history, and genetic testing for inherited cancer liability. Furthermore, manufacturers are focusing on adopting strategies such as product launches and approvals, R&D investments, government funding, and partnerships to provide easy access for patients worldwide. For instance, in April 2024, Ambry Launched the Inter-Organization Cancer Genetics Clinical Evidence Coalition (INTERACT) collaboration to spur hereditary cancer testing, aiming to increase access to specialized genetic testing.
A multi-gene panel eliminates running multiple assays for different cancer or variant types. Copy number variation (CNV) is a common source of genetic variation and is involved in many genetic disorders. It is also a critical component of a hereditary cancer diagnosis.
The UK Government and Genomic England have stated that all CNV analyses will now be performed by NGS rather than multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Due to its advantages, all laboratory processes will be streamlined and enable the detection of all SNVs, INDELs, and CNVs variants using a single workflow and analysis pipeline.
The adoption of multi-gene panel testing will be increased across various North American, European, and Asian countries.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the hereditary cancer testing market analysis are product diagnosis type, technology, and end user.
The geographic scope of the hereditary cancer testing market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America.
The North America Hereditary Cancer Testing market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US held the largest share of the North American hereditary cancer testing market 2023. The projected growth of the hereditary cancer testing market in North America is driven by the rising number of cancer patients, increasing government funding, and rising incidence of genetic diseases among the population in the US and Canada during recent years. The government also took initiatives to create awareness regarding cancer among the population. For instance, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) offers a course on cancer awareness to spread complete and essential knowledge of this condition, including hereditary cancer genetics.
