The genetic toxicology testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The genetic toxicology testing market has experienced substantial growth in recent years. It is projected to expand from $1.63 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%.
The historical growth is attributed to escalating public health challenges, growing globalization, an increased focus on personalized medicine, a higher demand for comprehensive testing solutions, and a rising number of drug developments.
The genetic toxicology testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The genetic toxicology testing market is expected to experience significant growth, reaching $2.64 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 10.0%.
This growth is driven by the rising demand for testing novel foods, increasing concerns about potential risks, growing environmental and health concerns, more regulatory scrutiny, greater use of in vitro testing methods, and the rise of high-throughput screening platforms. Key trends include advancements in precision medicine and toxicogenomics, better risk communication, evolving testing methodologies, risk assessment improvements, integration of omics technologies, and advancements in genomics and molecular biology.
The genetic toxicology testing market is expected to benefit from the rising demand for personalized medicine. This healthcare model customizes treatments and interventions based on an individual’s genetic makeup and disease risk. The market for personalized medicine is growing due to advances in genetics, improved disease understanding, and the use of biomarker-based diagnostics. Genetic toxicology testing plays a role by providing data on genetic variability, susceptibility to harmful agents, and treatment responses. For example, in 2023, the FDA approved 16 new personalized medicines for rare diseases, up from six in 2022, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition. Thus, the demand for personalized medicine is fueling the genetic toxicology testing market.

Major players in the genetic toxicology testing market are seeking to enhance accuracy and efficiency in identifying potential genetic toxins by creating novel drug screening platforms, such as phenotypic drug screening. This method involves testing compounds based on their capacity to elicit a specific cellular or physiological response in an entire organism or a relevant cell system, and is typically employed in drug discovery. Case in point, Creative Biogene, a biotechnology firm from the US, introduced zebrafish disease models in August 2022 to aid drug discovery and toxicology research. These models are engineered to simulate human genetic diseases in zebrafish, in order to gain insights into disease development, drug discovery, and toxicology. The zebrafish models from Creative Biogene prove to be a significant resource for gauging drug toxicity, projecting the safety of novel compounds, and to assist in drug development.
