Growing Interest in Pharmacogenetics and Increasing Adoption of Telehealth Fuels the Middle East & Africa Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing Market

The direct-to-consumer genetic testing market will benefit from the increasing popularity of the pharmacogenetics field. A well-known application of gene-based personalization is pharmacogenetics, where genetic variations determine the selection of drug therapy that supports a company's growth. A comprehensive characterization of the genetic component underlying many complex diseases, traits, and drug responses has been enabled with the help of recent technological advances. This information has made genetic testing available more extensively in healthcare and can be used to assess the risk of inherited diseases and predict response to medications. Such tests can reduce drug-related adverse events, thereby increasing the effectiveness of drugs by the means of assessing the sensitivity of a person toward a particular drug. Pharmacogenetic testing is an interesting aspect for DTC companies because test results are actionable once a relevant drug is prescribed, which may be at the time of testing or many years later. Pharmacogenetic testing is one of the primary genetic testing services of DTC-GT companies. Pharmacogenetic testing reveals genetic variations associated with drug efficacy and responses. Therefore, most people are interested in finding out the function of their genome concerning their medication intake. DTC genetic testing companies such as 23andMe allow consumers to directly access their genetic information through an online service without the involvement of medical professionals.

A new model of DTC telemedicine is becoming increasingly popular. Patients select their clinical problem on a DTC company's website or mobile phone application and submit a medical intake form online. A doctor reviews this information and may or may not contact the patient for further information. While COVID-19 testing has contributed to the rapid expansion of the direct-to-consumer diagnostic testing (DTC) market, DTC goes far beyond COVID-19 testing. This rapid transition to a digital workflow includes every step, from sample collection to analysis and archiving final results. Therefore, owing to the revolutionary technologies growing interest in pharmacogenetics, and rising adoption of telehealth, DTC genetic testing is becoming convenient, accessible, and effective, which is expected to boost the market growth in future.
