The hereditary testing market size is expected to reach USD 17.13 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Hereditary Testing Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Technology (Cytogenetic, Biochemical, and Molecular Testing), Sample Type, Disease Type, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Hereditary testing is a genetic diagnostic procedure used to identify inherited mutations that may contribute to disease development. It enables early detection, risk assessment, and personalized treatment planning. The hereditary testing market is experiencing significant growth due to advancements in next-generation sequencing, increasing awareness of genetic disorders, and rising demand for precision medicine.
Opportunities in the market are expanding with the integration of artificial intelligence for improved genetic analysis and the growing adoption of direct-to-consumer genetic testing. Key trends include the increasing focus on hereditary cancer testing, the expansion of noninvasive prenatal testing, and regulatory developments supporting hereditary testing market expansion. Rising healthcare expenditures, improved accessibility to genetic testing, and the global emphasis on preventive healthcare solutions further drive the market.
Hereditary Testing Market Report Highlights
Molecular testing held the largest hereditary testing market share in 2024 due to its high accuracy and widespread adoption in genetic analysis.
The blood segment dominated the market as it is widely used for genetic testing due to its ease of collection and reliability. Saliva-based testing is witnessing the fastest growth due to the increasing demand for non-invasive and at-home genetic testing solutions.
North America dominated the hereditary testing market in 2024 due to well-established healthcare infrastructure, strong regulatory frameworks, and high adoption of genetic testing. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, driven by increasing healthcare investments, rising awareness of genetic disorders, and expanding genetic testing services in emerging economies.
