Nutrigenomics Market

Nutrigenomics Market Overview

The nutrigenomics market is estimated to be worth $0.64 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% during the forecast period.

Given the recent shift from the one-size-fits-all model to a more personalized mode of treatment, there has been a growing interest in identification and adoption of novel techniques. It is estimated that there are around 20,000 genes present in the human body, all of which interact with the nutrients in the food, either directly or indirectly. Since the introduction of a gene sequencing method by Frederick Sanger in 1977, the field of genomic data collection and analysis has evolved significantly. Advances in DNA sequencing technologies have enabled significant developments in a variety of healthcare-focused research fields, such as precision medicine and diagnostics. Further, the success of the Human Genome Project, which mapped the whole human DNA, has paved a path for the novel concept of nutritional genomics, the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. Presently, extensive studies are being conducted to understand the interaction between nutrients and gene expression at the molecular level to determine effect of a specific nutrient and dietary regime on the human health. Although the field of nutritional genomics is still in a nascent stage, it is a moving at a very fast-pace and is believed to have the potential to lay the foundation for personalized nutrition offerings. Further, the growing interest in nutrigenomics is supported by the rising awareness about the influence of diet on human health and its potential with respect to minimizing the risk of various diet-related diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, chronic respiratory diseases and oncological disorders.

At present, more than 100 companies are engaged in providing various types of nutrigenomic tests / services, including those focused on nutritional deficiency, food intolerance / sensitivity, nutrient metabolism, disease risk assessment, diet customization, lifestyle management and weight management, worldwide. It is worth mentioning that there are several companies that provide nutrigenomic test offerings directly to consumer, through availability of online genetic test kits and at-home sample collection facilities. Moreover, this field is evolving continuously, as researchers and industry players alike aim to enhance the existing offerings. In this context, in the past 3 years, over 135 nutrigenetics focused research articles have been published, highlighting the active initiatives of researchers to illustrate the effect of nutrition on regulation of gene expression. At present, there are some ethical and regulatory challenges associated with nutrition genome, including the potential misuse of personal data, as well as uncertainty related to genetic phenotypic predispositions, for conditions where no proven treatment exists. However, the benefits offered by nutrition genome outweigh the uncertainty associated with its adoption. Considering the growing focus on personalized diets and active initiatives being undertaken by players in nutrigenomics market, we are led to believe that the opportunity for stakeholders in this niche, but upcoming, industry is likely to witness a commendable market growth during the forecast period.
