Direct-to-Consumer Laboratory Testing Market: Introduction

According to the report, the global direct-to-consumer laboratory testing market was valued at US$ 2.4 Bn in 2020. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~26% from 2021 to 2031. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing, also known as direct access testing, enables patients to order tests directly from a laboratory without having to go through their healthcare practitioner. These test results can be used to track a current health condition, diagnose a previously undiagnosed medical issue, or provide information on personal health traits. DTC laboratory testing is an important part of ongoing attempts to improve people’s engagement in their healthcare, and it is critical that the results are accurate and accessible. Laboratory professionals play a critical part in this process.

The prevalence of various lifestyle-associated and infectious diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and STD has increased. This is likely to augment the demand for direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing for early diagnosis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart diseases account for nearly 655,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Cancer is a leading cause of death across the world. A majority of cancer cases are caused due to lifestyle-related factors. Various DTC test kits are available for testing and detection of both health and lifestyle-related diseases.

Moreover, a surge in the demand for early disease detection & diagnosis coupled with personalized medicines is anticipated to drive the direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing market. Furthermore, an increase in the geriatric population vulnerable to chronic illnesses drives the demand for direct-to-consumer laboratory testing. The direct-to-consumer laboratory testing market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a CAGR of 31.6% from 2021 to 2031. Increased awareness initiatives and developments conducted by government organizations to promote genetic research in countries across Asia are anticipated to drive the market in the region.

Increase in Emphasis on Patient-driven Healthcare to Fuel Market Growth

The direct-to-consumer laboratory testing has highly impacted patient care, its cost, and the role of the laboratory professional. These tests are also referred as consumer-driven testing. In the era of the Internet and social media, consumers seek more control over their health and are willing to pay for this service. The reasons often cited for ordering DTC lab tests include convenience, preparing for a doctor visit, saving money, privacy, getting a second opinion, and obtaining tests not covered by insurance.

Retail outlets such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Costco provide one-stop healthcare services. These services include onsite testing for glucose and cholesterol, as well as tests that are later sent out to reference laboratories. Moreover, telemedicine kiosks are available in some outlets with access available to physicians either by telephone or the Internet. Hence, surge in emphasis on patient-driven healthcare and easy access to patients as consumers through the Internet and media are expected to drive the direct-to-consumer laboratory testing market.
