Global Market for Rare Disease Diagnostics to Grow at 9.9% CAGR
"Advances in Genomic Technologies and Multi-Omics Approaches Propel Rare Disease Diagnostics Market, with AI Poised to Revolutionize Clinical Interpretation"
BOSTON, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, "Rare Disease Diagnostics: Technologies and Global Markets" is projected to increase from $21.6 billion in 2024 to $34.7 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9% from 2024 through 2029.
This report offers quantitative and qualitative data in order to help readers develop business strategies, understand the market landscape, and make informed decisions about rare disease diagnostic products and services. The report covers molecular genetics, cytogenetics, and biochemical testing techniques. It includes market data for 2023 and forecasts for 2024 to 2029, segmented by analysis platform, target, disease class, test purpose, and region. It discusses the market drivers, restraints, trends, opportunities, and the competitive landscape, along with research initiatives and global sequencing projects that link genetic variation to rare disease diagnostics.
Global efforts to link genetic variants to rare diseases, are supported by numerous initiatives and large-scale sequencing projects. However, new FDA regulations on laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) could challenge the market in North America by increasing costs and slowing development. This makes studying the rare disease diagnostics market crucial for industry participants.
The factors driving the market include:
Significant Unmet Need in Rare Disease Diagnostics: Many rare diseases remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This unmet need drives demand for advanced diagnostic tools to provide accurate and timely diagnoses.
Orphan Drug Act: This legislation provides incentives for developing treatments for rare diseases, including tax credits and market exclusivity. It encourages investment in rare disease diagnostics as part of the broader effort to develop orphan drugs.
Advances in Gene Therapy: Gene therapy offers potential cures for genetic disorders, increasing the need for precise diagnostics to identify suitable candidates for these therapies. This drives innovation in diagnostic technologies.
Rare Disease Initiatives: Government and non-profit initiatives raise awareness and funding for rare disease research and diagnostics. These initiatives support the development and adoption of new diagnostic tools.
Advances in Genomic Technologies and Analytical Tools: Innovations in genomic sequencing and bioinformatics enable more detailed and accurate analysis of genetic data, improving the diagnosis of rare diseases.
Decreasing Cost of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): The cost of NGS has significantly decreased, making it more accessible for routine diagnostic use. This affordability accelerates the adoption of NGS in rare disease diagnostics.
