Market Definition
Genetic testing is a kind of medical test that identifies changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. The outcome of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or aid in determining a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. Over 77,000 genetic tests are currently in use, and others are being developed.
The increasing innovations and technologies and rising number of players in the market, and novel product launches are also propelling the growth of the Middle East and Africa genetic testing market.
Middle East and Africa Genetic Testing Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers/Opportunities
- Growing prevalence of genetic disorders
Genetic disorders may cause such severe health problems which are incompatible with life. In the most severe cases, these conditions may cause a miscarriage of an affected embryo or fetus. The rising prevalence of genetic diseases and birth defects boosts the demand for the genetic testing market.
- As per the article by World Health Organization, genetic disorders and congenital abnormalities: strategies for reducing the burden in the region, 2022, genetic and congenital diseases account for a significant proportion of perinatal and neonatal mortality in many countries of the region. Birth defects are now considered the leading cause of infant mortality in the United Arab Emirates and the second cause in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar. Reports from Saudi Arabia indicate that about 25-35% of prenatal deaths in the two hospitals were due to birth defects.
Therefore, this is raising the demand for the genetic testing market.
- Increase in the adoption of next generation sequencing
As genomics-focused pharmacology continues to play a greater role in the treatment of various chronic diseases, especially cancer, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is evolving as a powerful tool for providing a deeper and more precise insight into the molecular underpinnings of individual tumors and specific receptors.
NGS offers advantages in accuracy, sensitivity, and speed compared to traditional methods that have the potential to make a significant impact on the field of oncology. Because NGS can assess multiple genes in a single assay, the need to order multiple tests to identify the causative mutation is eliminated.
Thus, this is expected to act as a driver for the growth of the genetic testing market.
- Rising disposable income
The expense of money used by a country on its healthcare and its growth rate over time is inclined by a wide variety of economic and social factors, including the financing arrangements and structure of the organization of the health system. In particular, there is a strong association between the complete income level of a country and how much the population of that country spends on health care.
Also, the strategic initiatives taken by key market players will provide structural integrity and future opportunities for the genetic testing market in the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Restraints/Challenges
- High cost of genetic testing
Genetic testing can be expensive and may not be covered by some health insurance plans. The numerous genetic tests differ in costs as per the targeted disease for which it is tested.
- According to Breastcancer.org, the cost of genetic testing for cancer can vary greatly and can be between USD 300 and USD 5,000. How much genetic testing costs can depend on the type of test as well as how complex it is
- Genetic testing can cost anywhere from USD 100 to more than USD 2,000, depending on the test's nature and complexity. If more than one test is required or numerous family members must be tested to acquire a significant result, the expense rises. The cost of neonatal screening varies by state
Thus, the high cost of genetic testing may restrain the market's growth.
- Stringent regulation policy
Regulatory affairs (RA) play a crucial role in the medical devices industry because it is concerned with the healthcare product lifecycle. It serves tactical, strategic, and operational paths and assists in functioning within regulations to expedite the delivery and development of safe as well as effective cancer spit test devices and products to the population worldwide. The role of regulatory affairs is to establish and execute a regulatory strategy.
Many healthcare organizations and government agencies are providing regulatory policies for the launch and approval of cancer spit test devices and products. Approval for the product by regional regulators plays an essential role for the drug development team. The approval assures the company's drug development activities and differentiates the company from the competition.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on the Middle East and Africa Genetic Testing Market
The genetic testing market has been badly affected by COVID-19. Hospital admissions were limited to non-essential treatment, and clinics were temporarily closed during the pandemic. The implementation of social distancing, blocking the population, and limited access to clinics have greatly affected the market. The slowdown in patient flows and referrals also affected the market growth. However, the market will continue to grow in the post-pandemic period due to the relaxation of previously imposed restrictions.
Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple R&D activities and product launches, and strategic partnerships to improve the technology and test results involved in the genetic testing market.
