Cellular Health Screening Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Test Type (Single Panel Tests [Telomere Tests, Oxidative Stress Tests, Inflammation Tests, and Heavy Metal Tests] and Multi-Panel Tests), By End User (Hospital-based Laboratories, Independent Laboratories, & Others), and Regional Forecast, 2023-2030

The global cellular health screening market size was valued at USD 2.75 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 3.04 billion in 2023 to USD 5.48 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period.

Cellular health tests are used to assess and determine physiological factors of health, such as biological aging and oxidative stress, based on factors, such as lifestyle, environment, psychology, and diet, on human cells. The screening analyzes basic indicators of cell health, such as cellular toxicity, cell viability, intra and extracellular fluid levels, and cell ageing, among others. The incidence of early biological ageing, heavy metal exposure, stress, and nutritional deficiency is increasing among the global population. Moreover, increased awareness of health and disease prevention is expected to augment the adoption of cellular health screening across the globe.

• In 2021, the National Poisoning Data System (NPDS) of the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) reported 8,884 single exposures to heavy metals in the U.S.

Moreover, the rising emphasis of key players and government authorities toward health-challenge prevention and early disease detection is expected to propel market growth. Also, rising studies of understanding telomeres as a biomarker for cognitive function and the impact of oxidative stress on cell health can further drive global market growth.

• In 2022, Denton County Public Health (DCPH) and Dalio Center for Health Justice (DCHJ) launched a comprehensive Social Determinants of Health (SdoH) screening initiative across seven emergency departments of hospitals in the U.S. The goal was to uncover and address social barriers that interfere with patients’ health and often perpetuate and exacerbate preventable conditions.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Decreased Screening Tests Amid COVID-19 Affected the Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the cellular health screening market in 2020. The impact was owing to international lockdowns imposed by government authorities that restricted patients from visiting hospitals and preventive screening programs. Similarly, the pandemic led to a decline in demand for cellular health tests across health settings owing to high prioritization toward COVID-19 screening tests and the lower revenue realization by key players in 2020.

• According to the annual report published by Quest Diagnostics in 2020, the revenue of the gene and esoteric testing services segment declined by 40.3% in 2021 from USD 2.4 billion in 2020, owing to lower demand for genetic tests.

However, post-pandemic, the market regained its global growth owing to a high emphasis by several organizations on the advancement of cellular health tests with new technologies in 2021. Moreover, the increasing number of patient visits across healthcare settings and growing awareness of health and lifestyle disorders among the population drove the market expansion after the pandemic.

• For instance, in March 2021, researchers at Queen Mary University of London and Cardiff University developed a rapid test for the diagnosis of a constellation of rare and debilitating genetic conditions using high-throughput single telomere length analysis (HT-STELA).

Cellular Health Screening Market Trends

Growing Product Deployment by Industry Players Globally to Boost Market Expansion

The incidence of health and lifestyle awareness is increasing among the global population. Thus, industry players are focusing on the introduction of new screening tests owing to rising health awareness globally. Similarly, rising technological advancements in the production of telomere and nutritional health tests for the detection of cellular health are catering to screening adoption across the globe.

• In September 2021, Genomic Vision launched TeloSizer, built on proprietary molecular combing technology to expand the company’s offering in the field of telomere biology and cellular health analysis.

Also, the product deployment of inflammatory and telomere tests across clinical laboratories is increasing owing to high demand. Moreover, the increasing emphasis of market players toward the launch of multi-panel tests to offer cellular health screenings for the detection of cellular ageing and chronic and metabolic disorders further augmented global cellular screening market growth.

• For instance, according to data revealed by BioReference Health, LLC, the company operates with the largest healthcare plans in the U.S. It processes more than 12.0 million tests annually, including the IgE blood tests.

Thus, the increasing presence of new cellular health detection with advanced technologies and its rising adoption across clinical settings are propelling global cellular health screening market growth.

Cellular Health Screening Market Growth Factors

Increase in Prevalence of Genetic Disorders to Augment Cellular Health Tests Adoption

The prevalence of genetic disorders among the global population is high owing to mutation in a single gene or multiple genes, structural chromosomal aberrations, or environmental factors, such as ultraviolet rays or chemical exposure, among others. Moreover, a rise in the presence of genetic tests for several disease indications across clinical settings and a shift of prioritization toward genetic health risk tests is anticipated to boost market growth.

• According to data published by Elsevier Inc., in November 2021, an estimated 3.5% to 5.9% of the global population suffers from 1 of approximately 7,000 rare or genetic conditions.


• The National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducted a research study from February 2020 to June 2020 among 2,947 individuals. The results stated that about 21.6% of the study population had undergone a genetic test, followed by genetic health‐risk tests of about 7.7%.

Thus, the increasing prevalence of genetic diseases has led to the high adoption of diagnostic screenings among patients. Moreover, the emerging presence of next-generation DNA sequencing technologies and increasing diagnostic and therapeutic research for genetic disease screening are expected to boost cellular health test adoption across clinical settings.

• As per NCBI statistics in 2023, as of November 2022, a total of 129,624 and 197,779 genetic tests were registered in the Genetic Testing Registry in the U.S. and globally, respectively.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lower Adoption of Preventive Health Screenings Among the Population to Restrict Market Growth

The prevalence of genetic diseases is increasing among the global population. However, the awareness of diagnostic screening is limited. Moreover, the lack of appropriate preventive services, including government-recommended screenings and vaccinations, further restricts market growth.

• According to an article published in NCBI in 2020, only 8.0% of the U.S. population undergo routine preventive health screenings.

Similarly, the lack of presence of trained professionals across health settings limits the adoption of preventive screenings and can further hamper market growth.

Cellular Health Screening Market Segmentation Analysis

By Test Type Analysis

Increasing Presence of Single Panel Tests to Augment Single Panel Test Segment Growth

By test type, the market is segmented into single panel tests and multi-panel tests.

Among these, the single panel tests segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. The dominance was attributed to the increase in the prevalence of genetic and cardiovascular diseases among the population.
