The increased higher-quality registries, advanced data collection, and interpretation technologies used in clinical practices are collectively expanding the market growth. For instance, Centogene N.V. combines genetic testing with metabolomics or proteomics to increase the effectiveness of the data analysis. Additionally, a system was created to facilitate sample collection, which encouraged the use of genetic tests to identify rare disorders, which as a result, accelerated the market's growth.

Growing government and regulatory support in emerging countries have brought lucrative opportunities for researchers, as well as patients. For instance, in March 2021, the Indian government launched the National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD), which supports up to Rs.50 lakhs for patients suffering from any rare disease listed in the Centre of Excellence (COE) of NPRD. However, lack of a regulatory framework in emerging economies, combined with a shortage of trained healthcare personnel, is limiting the market’s growth.

The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global market as the rare disease condition needs specialized clinical trials. Also, the patient suffering from the rare disease needs special attention. Due to the pandemic, they have experienced a severe lack of necessary routine clinical treatments, counseling, and therapies, which has increased their vulnerability and made them feel more marginalized. Additionally, there was a disruption in clinical trials of rare diseases, as all the attention of researchers was shifted toward Covid-19.

Endocrine and metabolism diseases accounted for the largest market share in 2021

Endocrine and metabolism diseases acquired the largest market revenue. Increasing need for molecular and genetic causes of endocrine diseases such as Cushing's syndrome boost segment growth. Furtherly, identifying inherited mutations in primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease and bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia is anticipated to accelerate the segment.

The immunological disorders segment is expected to account for the second-highest revenue share, as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most prevalent rare diseases. Its genetic profile is one of the critical focus areas among researchers in this area, primarily obtaining relevant insights into the causes and underlying physiology of diseases, leading to market growth.

Next-generation sequencing technology holds a significant market share

The next-generation sequencing segment will account for a considerable market share in 2021. The growing use of next-generation sequencing-based gene panels for neurologic disease, cancer, pediatric conditions, cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders, and other disease testing has fueled the segment's expansion.

Next-generation sequencing is further categorized as whole exome and whole genome. The medical acceptance of whole exome sequencing-based gene tests has fueled the development of next-generation sequencing technology, propelling the rare disease genetic testing market.

Molecular genetic tests are expected to hold the considerable revenue share

The molecular genetic tests segment is expected to account largest market share. It is also the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due to advanced technologies and expertise in managing high throughput technologies in clinical settings.

To find the mutations or other abnormalities that cause genetic illnesses, molecular genetic testing techniques look at single genes and short lengths of DNA. This approach can be used for rare and ultra-rare diseases, which are expected to drive the market for rare disease genetic testing as well as the expansion of the molecular genetic tests segment.

Genome sequencing is the most common advanced testing technique. It is easily available in both research and clinical settings with low-cost sequencing tests and promotes the ongoing creation of new tests based on next-generation sequencing.

The biochemical and genetic tests segment is expected to grow fastest over the forecast period as it can identify alterations in DNA that could result in metabolic diseases, as well as the quantity, activity, and related abnormalities of proteins.

Research lab & CROs segment is accounted for the largest growth rate

Research lab and CROs account for the most significant revenue for the rare disease genetic testing market share. In many instances, laboratories are the primary end users. They offer many testing specialties, including molecular genetic tests, chromosomal genetic tests, and biochemical, genetic tests.

Furthermore, molecular genetic testing-based laboratory testing is expanding rapidly globally. Numerous labs do genetic testing, including CLIA-approved, for characteristics including clinical cytogenetics, pathology, and chemistry, among others.

The diagnostic laboratories segment is anticipated to grow fastest over the forecast due to increased collaborations and partnership activities of diagnostic laboratories with genetic testing companies.

North America is projected for the largest market share

North America is projected for largest market share due to the growing prevalence of rare diseases, numerous disease registries, a considerable number of R&D centers for ultra-rare diseases, and huge investments in disease detection.

According to the National Institutes of Health, almost 30 million Americans are diagnosed with one of the 7,000+ rare diseases. An increase in patients undergoing disease testing has increased the market’s growth.
