Nutrigenetics studies the presence of a particular gene variant or polymorphism that in most cases merely connotes a predisposition to a particular disease process that may be prevented through a complex interplay of environmental and behavioral factors such as a personalized nutrition. Nutrigenomics refers to the study of the effects of specific nutrients or nutraceuticals on the expression of an individual's genetic makeup.
Rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases is driving the growth of the nutrigenomics testing market. Over the past decade, rapid advancements in omic technologies such as proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics are combining with advanced bioinformatics to be broadly used for identifying diseases based on protein pathways. Currently, the findings of nutrigenomics have been used to some extent to treat diseases with a diet component like diabetes, cancer, and obesity, significantly boosting the nutrigenomics testing market size.
Accuracy and reliability of the nutrigenomic test findings is one of the major concerns for most of the consumers. Direct-to-consumer tests including nutrigenomic tests have varying levels of evidence that support their claims. Some direct-to-consumer tests have more scientific and clinical data to support the information provided in the test, while other tests do not have as much supporting data. Furthermore, disagreements in the clinical community about the role that different genetic variants are contributing to the disease is another reason affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test. Moreover, not all variants contribute to an individual's risk of getting a disease or condition, so it is important that customers understand that a negative result does not mean that the individual is free from the risk of developing a particular disease or condition. As different companies test for the different set of variants, therefore the same nutrigenomics tests might provide different results for the same disease. Thus, customers need to use their own judgment while ordering and interpreting the results from nutrigenomic tests. Therefore, nutrigenomics test results are not considered as accurate and reliable, further hampering the overall demand.
Sport nutrigenomics is another significant opportunity for nutrigenomics testing market. Thus, athletes are looking for tailor-made diets for improving their health status. Personalized nutrition in athletic populations aims in optimizing health, body composition, and exercise performance by targeting dietary recommendations to an individual's genetic profile. Sport dietitians and nutritionists have long been skilled at placing additional analysis on the one-size-fits-all general population dietary guidelines to accommodate various sporting populations. However, generic 'one-size-fits-all' recommendations still remain. Genetic differences are known to impact absorption, metabolism, uptake, utilization, and excretion of nutrients and food bio actives, which ultimately affects a number of metabolic pathways. Nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics are experimental approaches that use genomic information and genetic testing technologies to examine the role of individual genetic differences in modifying an athlete's response to nutrients and other food components. Although there have been few randomized, controlled trials examining the effects of genetic variation on performance in response to an ergogenic aid, there is a growing foundation of research linking gene-diet interactions on biomarkers of nutritional status, which impact exercise and sport performance. This foundation forms the basis from which the field of sport nutrigenomics continues to develop.
The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on the nutrigenomics testing market growth. The pandemic introduced many new users to telehealth and further reinforced its benefits to potential competitors. In turn, the COVID-19 pandemic has also driven additional industry consolidation or collaboration within the nutrigenomics market. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its resulting changes in consumer behavior and expectations, has also caused various traditional healthcare providers to evaluate and pursue telehealth options that can be paired with their in-person capabilities. Also, telehealth awareness, acceptance, and usage have been positively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to increased consumer acceptance of virtual care. Thus, the pandemic led to an increase in the utilization of telehealth services, which is anticipated to boost the nutrigenomics market in the post-pandemic period.
