Gene Panel Market Size & Trends

The global gene panel market size was valued at USD 2.97 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.6% from 2024 to 2030. The market is experiencing expansion owing to the rising prevalence of hereditary disorders and cancer and the increasing need for genetic screening to proactively reduce mortality rates from genetic disorders. In addition, identifying the genetic predisposition for various types of cancer or other genetic disorders has become the primary approach for clinicians to advance disease prognosis and treatment.

Gene Panel Market Size by Product & Services, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

According to the National Cancer Institute, there were approximately 20 million new cases of cancer in 2022 globally, and the number of new cases is expected to rise to 29.9 million by 2040. The increasing prevalence of cancer, coupled with the rising adoption of gene panels in cancer-focused treatments, is expected to foster market growth.

According to the Genetic and Rare Disease (GARD) Information Centre, there are at least 7,000 diagnosed genetic conditions and the list is growing continuously. At least 200,000 people in the U.S. are survivors of some kind of known genetic disorder. On the other hand, in the U.K., at least 30,000 infants are diagnosed each year with a genetic disorder, with an accumulation of over 2.4 million survivors of different kinds of genetic conditions. Many gene panels are designed to detect genetic disorders at birth so that effective prognosis and therapeutic steps can be taken as early as possible.

The market shows substantial promise in meeting the unmet diagnostic and therapeutic requirements for chronic illnesses. As the number of deaths related to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and arthritis rises among adults, there is a critical need for advanced diagnostic services. These services integrate clinically significant target sequences into NGS tests, providing a hopeful resolution.

Product & Services Insights

Test kits dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 60.0% in 2023. The population across the globe is inclining towards self-utilitarianism. The development of advanced test solutions to facilitate the diagnosis of various chronic diseases is a major driver for market growth. For instance, in October 2023, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China approved Geneseeq’s NSCLC tumor mutational burden test Kit with a large gene panel covering 425 cancer-associated genes.

Testing services segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over forecast period from 2024 to 2030. Genetic testing services offer a diverse array of tests that play a crucial role in informing significant health decisions. These services serve multiple purposes, including disease diagnosis, gene mutation identification, disease risk prediction, and treatment strategy guidance. By seamlessly integrating genetic testing into routine healthcare, these services provide convenient ordering, flexible cost options, and professional genetic counseling to aid in the interpretation of test results.

Application Insights

Cancer risk assessment accounted for the largest share of 54.9% in the year 2023. Gene panels offer a comprehensive alternative to multiple screening tests in identifying genetic risk factors for different cancers. For instance, in October 2023, Invitae, a medical genetics company, received market authorization for its Common Hereditary Cancers Panel from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The panel can be utilized in identifying the germline variants related to hereditary cancer. The development of such products is further expected to drive growth in the market.

Gene Panel Market Share by Application, 2023 (%)

The diagnosis of congenital diseases segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. Congenital diseases, commonly developed during fetal development, can be diagnosed before birth, during delivery, or even in early childhood. Several tests are being developed which can assist in identifying these diseases and providing treatment solutions. For instance, in February 2024, the Cord Blood Registry by CooperSurgical and Fulgent Genetics introduced various genetic testing options, including the CBR Snapshot genetic test, the CBR Portrait genetic test, and the CBR Landscape genetic test, which can help in screening children for various diseases, including cardiovascular, cancer, neonatal diabetes, and others.

Techniques Insights

Amplicon-based approach dominated the market and accounted for a share of 79.2% in 2023. This approach is widely used as a target-based next-generation sequencing technique that examines genetic variations in a particular genomic area. This method has various applications, such as genotyping via sequencing, CRISP validation, identification of inherited SNPs, and detection of indels. Numerous products based on amplicon sequencing are being launched, which is expected to drive growth in the market. For instance, in October 2022, PacBio introduced Onso, a short-read sequencing platform. The platform supports whole-genome sequencing and other targeted methods, including amplicon and hybridization capture panels.

The hybridization-based approach is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The hybridization-based approach is considered reproducible and reliable and is thus frequently utilized for multigene panels. For instance, Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. offers xGen Custom Hybridization Capture Panels, which include high-fidelity, individually synthesized, 5′-biotinylated oligos that can be used for targeted NGS research. The approach proves to be highly advantageous when sequencing a large number of genes, which is expected to help in driving segmental growth.

Design Insights

The predesigned gene panel approach dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 66.1% in 2023. The increasing investment in genomics and efforts to build technologies that can help in gaining new insights into the biological systems that regulate human health and disease are major factors driving the growth of this segment. For instance, in October 2023, Vizgen launched predesigned MERFISH Gene Panels at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting2023 in oncology and neuroscience, which are expected to help in studying the human tumor biology and investigating the mouse brain, respectively.

The customized gene panel is expected to register a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Customized gene panels aid in identifying individual nucleotide and copy number variations. Gene panels can be used for profiling various cell types and cell signaling pathways for multiple tissue types and diseases. This enables extremely effective and sensitive sequencing of specific gene panels or customized targets. In March 2024, 10x Genomics launched a 5,000-Plex Gene Panel for Xenium. The panel is highly customizable which facilitates targeting of specific biology as per research requirements. The development of such panels is expected to foster segmental growth in the market.

End-use Insights

The academic & research institutes segment held the largest revenue share accounting for over 42.4% in 2023 and is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The rise in cancer and genetic disorder incidences worldwide is poised to drive research and development activities, paving the way for favorable growth prospects within the industry. The increasing emphasis on preventing genetic disorders from being inherited by future generations is driving the demand for gene panels for pre-gestational, prenatal, and neonatal screenings, and cancer screenings. In the U.S., the price of genetic testing varies significantly, ranging from less than USD 100 to over USD 2,000. The final cost is determined by the type and intricacy of the test. In cases where multiple tests are required or when several family members need to be tested for a conclusive outcome, the cost tends to rise.

The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment witnessed a rapid growth rate of 22.8%. The segment is experiencing growth due to factors such as the increasing demand for gene panels in research, higher government funding, and focus of major companies on research and development of advanced drug development. For instance, in November 2023, Natera, Inc., and MSD entered into an agreement that allowed MSD to use the real-world database of Natera. The database contains clinical and genomic data of approximately 100,000 patients with cancer, which MSD is expected to use to advance oncology research.
