Dublin, Feb. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Direct-to-Consumer Testing Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
With advances in technology, the completion of the sequencing of the human genome and the pressures of capitalism, direct to consumer (DTC) laboratory testing is becoming increasingly popular. The growing market for DTC laboratory testing may promote awareness of health issues and genetic diseases, which could allow patients to take a more proactive role in their healthcare.
The global DTC testing market is divided into two distinct areas of DTC testing:
- Routine clinical laboratory testing
- Medical genetic laboratory testing
This report explores the increasing consumer demand for both direct-to-consumer routine clinical laboratory tests and genetic tests, including the following total market information:
