Rising Cases of Genetic Deformities in Pregnancies Fuels the Genetic Counseling Market Growth

A recent research report by MarkNtel Advisors cites that the Global Genetic Counseling Market is set to record around 11.5% CAGR during 2023-28, mainly driven by the growing prevalence of genetic deformities in pregnancies. Individuals are becoming increasingly concerned about the health & well-being of their fetuses, as well as the elevated mortality rates associated with genetic deformities in infants. Consequently, this has heightened concerns among parents for the health & safety of their newborns, leading to a greater emphasis on preventive measures.

Genetic counseling has emerged as one of the most widely embraced services, backed by consumers' increased awareness of the implications of genetic testing. With a growing understanding of the potential risks associated with genetic changes that could lead to severe consequences in the future, the demand for genetic counseling has increased significantly in recent years.

Prior to undergoing genetic testing, individuals now seek pre-testing counseling to gain a comprehensive understanding of the test's purpose, benefits, limitations, and potential outcomes. As more patients opt for genetic testing services to identify implications like cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, & thalassemia, among others, genetic counselling would witness a notable surge in its demand over the coming years and, in turn, contribute to market growth, further states the research report, “Global Genetic Counseling Market Analysis, 2023.”

Enhanced Adoption of Genetic Counseling for Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Patients to Boost the Market

The demand for genetic counselling for ITT patients has experienced a significant increase in recent years, primarily due to the rising prevalence of genetic diseases like muscular dystrophy, hereditary breast, and ovarian cancer syndrome (BRCA mutations), & Lynch syndrome, among others. As a result, it has prompted individuals to seek genetic counselling for ITT patients to gain insights into the interpretation & implications of their conditions and personalized treatment options.

Furthermore, advancements in genetic testing techniques, notably the development of next-generation sequencing and chromosomal microarray analysis, have revolutionized the detection of structural & numerical abnormalities in chromosomes, enabling the identification of various rare genomic & genetic disorders. Consequently, consumers prefer genetic counselling to comprehend the requirements and potential outcomes of these technologies and make informed decisions about the specific testing they should undergo.
