Gene panels are a set of specific genes selected for testing in a single assay to analyze genetic variations associated with particular diseases or conditions. They are utilized for diagnosing genetic disorders, detecting inherited diseases, and enabling personalized treatment plans by examining multiple genes simultaneously, particularly in cancer, rare diseases, and other genetic conditions.
The primary gene panel products and services include test kits and testing services. Test kits are pre-packaged tools containing all necessary reagents and instructions for genetic analysis. These panels employ various technologies, such as amplicon-based and hybridization-based methods, and can be either predesigned or customized. They are applied in cancer risk assessment, congenital disease diagnosis, pharmacogenetics, and other areas, serving end users such as research institutes, hospitals, diagnostic centers, pharmaceutical companies, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The gene panel market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides gene panel market statistics, including gene panel industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a gene panel market share, detailed gene panel market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the gene panel industry. This gene panel market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The gene panel market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.14 billion in 2024 to $2.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of hereditary disorders, growing necessity for genetic screening, increasing research and development activities, rising prevalence of congenital diseases, and increasing demand for advanced treatment options.
The gene panel market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing number of chronic diseases, increasing cancer cases, increasing awareness of genetic testing, and increasing government initiatives and healthcare spending. Major trends in the forecast period include the advancement of gene panel technology, strategic collaboration, personalized treatment, the integration of artificial intelligence, and advanced bioinformatics tools.
The forecast of 15.1% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) gene panels sourced from South Korea and the UK, thereby delaying genetic disease diagnoses and elevating molecular pathology lab expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the gene panel market. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, which can invade and damage surrounding tissues and organs. Factors such as aging populations, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and advancements in detection and diagnostic technologies are contributing to the increasing number of cancer cases. Gene panels play a crucial role in cancer diagnosis by enabling comprehensive genetic testing to identify mutations and alterations in specific genes, facilitating personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. For example, in February 2024, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that an estimated 9.7 million people died from cancer in 2022, with 20 million new cases recorded. Lung cancer was the most prevalent, accounting for 12.4% of all new cases, with 2.5 million diagnoses worldwide. This increasing cancer burden continues to drive demand for gene panel testing.
Leading companies in the gene panel market are focusing on developing advanced oncology panels to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and comprehensiveness of cancer diagnostics and personalized treatment approaches. Oncology panels are specialized gene panels that analyze multiple genes associated with cancer, identifying genetic mutations and alterations to aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning. For instance, in May 2023, Vizgen Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, introduced the MERFISH PanCancer Pathways Panel, providing a customizable option for scientists exploring spatial genomics. These predesigned panels are optimized for various research applications, including cancer studies, and offer enhanced error robustness for reliable and reproducible results. By integrating spatial information with gene expression data, the panels provide deeper insights into tumor microenvironments and cellular interactions, advancing targeted cancer research and therapeutic development. This innovation marks a significant breakthrough in spatial biology, allowing researchers to analyze complex biological systems with unprecedented detail.
In May 2022, Sema4, a US-based health intelligence company, acquired GeneDx in a $322 million transaction. This acquisition bolsters Sema4's position as a leading provider of genomic testing in the U.S., enhancing its health information database to improve patient care and therapeutic development. GeneDx, also based in the U.S., specializes in comprehensive diagnostic services for rare genetic disorders, inherited diseases, and cancers, further strengthening Sema4's capabilities in precision medicine.
