Genetic Test is a technology that detects DNA through human body fluids, cells and blood. People use specific equipment to test the DNA molecules, analyze the type of genes and gene defects contained therein and whether the expression function is normal, so as to understand their own genetic information and clarify the cause of disease or the risk of suffering from a certain disease. Currently, genetic testing technology can be categorized into three levels, namely scientific research level, clinical level and consumer level. Ancestry analysis, sports genes, skin characteristics, children's talent, metabolic profile, etc., which people often hear about in social media, all belong to the consumer-grade genetic test (Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Test). iDNA/360 genes was created in 2013, and the consumer genetic testing services appeared, with a pricing of mostly around 2,000 yuan, marking China's consumer gene The germination of China's consumer genetics entered the observation period in 2019. China's consumer gene user scale overall showed a high growth trend, and in 2019 the user scale was nearly 2.207 million. Among them, the users are mainly female and married users with children, their age is concentrated in 26-35 years old, and their education is mainly undergraduate and college. China's consumer genetic users to understand genetic testing mainly rely on daily socialization and hospitals, physical examination institutions and so on.
2019 China's consumer genes into the observation period
China's consumer genes later than the development of foreign countries, in 2013, iDNA/360 genes was created, consumer genetic testing services appeared, pricing mostly in the 2,000 yuan or so, marking the budding of China's consumer genes; after with the micro-gene, the magic cube/jellyfish/various colors and so on have been established, the price of the consumer gene market has fallen sharply; in 2019 China's consumer genes entered the observation period.
China's consumer gene user scale overall high-speed growth trend, the user scale in 2019 is nearly 2.207 million
According to statistics, during the period of 2016-2018, China's consumer gene user scale overall year-on-year growth trend, the average annual high speed of up to 223%, and in 2019, China's consumer gene user scale is nearly 2.207 million.
China's consumer gene users are mainly female and married with children
In 2019, China's consumer gene users are mainly female, the proportion of women is as high as 60.1%; in terms of marriage and parenthood, it is mainly married with children, with a proportion of as high as 53.1%.
China's consumer gene users are concentrated in the age of 26-35 years old, and their education is mainly bachelor's degree and college
In 2019, China's consumer gene users are mainly concentrated in the age of 26-35 years old, of which the proportion of users in the age of 26-30 years old is 31.9%, and the proportion of users in the age of 31-35 years old is 28.4%; in terms of education In terms of education, users are mainly bachelor's degree, the proportion is as high as 56.9%, followed by college education, the proportion is 21.1%.
China's consumer genetic users learn about genetic testing mainly rely on daily socialization and hospitals, medical examination institutions, etc.
In 2019, China's consumer genetic users initially learned about genetic testing mainly through the introduction of acquaintances, the official website of the product, the circle of friends of WeChat and hospitals, medical examination centers and other channels. Among them, acquaintance introduction is the most common, 18.3% of users are introduced through acquaintances; 12-14% of users are introduced through the product official website and WeChat circle of friends; 12% of users are introduced through medical examination centers, and 9.1% of users are introduced through hospitals.
