The global genetic testing market is expected to grow from nearly $17.5 billion in 2023 to over $25 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of above 10%, as per The Business Research Company’s Genetic Testing Global Market Report 2022.
This promising growth is expected to continue, and the market is projected to grow to about $38.5 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of more than 9%.
