US Esoteric Testing Market Size and Forecasts, Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Type, Technology, and End User

The US Esoteric Testing market is expected to grow from US$ 10.382 billion in 2022 to US$ 31.274 billion by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2030. The report highlights trends prevailing in the market and factors driving the market growth. The market growth is attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and growing awareness of early detection of medical conditions, which are driving the US's esoteric testing market size and growth. Additionally, advancements in genetic testing and rare disease-related initiatives by regulatory authorities are likely to emerge as a significant trend in the market during the forecast period. However, the lack of skilled personnel and the high cost of procedure hinder market growth during the forecast period 2022-2030.

Growing Awareness of Early Detection of Medical Conditions drives the market in the forecast period.

The early diagnosis of diseases helps medical professionals and patients to make various important medical decisions in terms of care, support needs, and financial and legal matters. Obtaining accurate and early diagnosis after noticing cognitive symptoms related to a specific medical condition results in the reversal of symptoms before they are aggravated, followed by an effective and early treatment of patients. It also provides healthcare professionals sufficient time for better decision-making. Laboratory examination procedures are widely performed for the diagnosis of diseases associated with medical specialties, such as neurological disorders, genetic diseases, cancer, and endocrinological disorders. Esoteric testing and genetic testing are performed for the diagnosis of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lipid disorders, cancer, and genetic diseases.

Various government regulatory bodies are also taking initiatives and conducting campaigns to promote early diagnosis practices. The National Organization for Rare Disorders aims to identify, diagnose, and treat rare disorders through numerous supportive programs, including education, research, advocacy, and patient services. The New York State Rare Disease Workgroup, created in response to legislation passed in New York State (Article 27-L of the Public Health Law), aims to identify best practices that could enhance the awareness of rare diseases. Through such initiatives, people potentially having rare diseases can be referred to specialists, and barriers to their treatments, including financial challenges, can be addressed. Such initiatives to build knowledge regarding available diagnosis options for complex genetic and non-genetic rare disorders favor the growth of the US esoteric testing market.

The hospitals and laboratories segment held a larger share of the market in 2022. It is further expected to register a higher CAGR of 15.2% during 2022-2030.

Esoteric tests are generally performed for the analysis of rare and unique substances that are not concluded in regular tests. To perform these tests, clinical laboratories require expertise in relevant specialties. Therefore, large commercial laboratories outsource these complex tests to reference and esoteric testing laboratories. A few of the labs performing esoteric testing in the US include Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Mayo Medical Laboratories, ARUP Laboratories, Myriad Genetics, Genomic Health, Foundation Medicine, and Laboratory Corporation of America. The number of laboratories that can perform these specialized tests is increasing in the region.

As per an article by the Endocrine Society, published in January 2022, hypogonadism is a common condition in the male population, with a higher prevalence in older men, obese men, and men with type 2 diabetes. 35% of men older than 45 years of age and 30-50% of men with type 2 diabetes or obesity are estimated to have hypogonadism. Moreover, as per the US Census Bureau’s estimation, the incidences of hypogonadism in men aged 65 years and more grew from ~35 million in 2000 to ~55 million by 2020. Further, it is estimated to rise to ~87 million by 2050. The surging prevalence of this condition is due to the rise in the geriatric population in the US.

An upsurge in the demand for esoteric testing is also attributed to the rising cases of hepatic cirrhosis. As per Statista, 51,642 adults in the US died from liver disease in 2020. Chronic liver disease/cirrhosis was the 12th leading cause of mortality in the US in 2020; an increase in the incidences of alcoholic cirrhosis is a major risk factor for this disease.

Furthermore, collaborations and partnerships are also expected to propel the market growth of esoteric testing in the US. For instance, as per The National Institutes of Health (NIH) press release of October 2021, NIH, the US Food and Drug Administration, ten pharmaceutical companies, and five non-profit organizations have joined to fasten the development of gene therapies for the 30 million Americans who suffer from rare diseases. Whereas there are nearly 7,000 rare diseases, currently, only 2 heritable diseases have FDA-approved gene therapies. The recently launched Bespoke Gene Therapy Consortium (BGTC), a section of the NIH Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) program and project-lead by the Foundation of NIH, aims to enhance and streamline the development process of gene therapy to support the unmet medical needs of people with rare diseases.

Thus, the burgeoning cases of hypogonadism, hepatic cirrhosis, and other such disease is driving the growth of the esoteric testing market in the US.
