Rising economic
burden of chronic diseases is considered to be one of the significant
challenges that healthcare and biomedical research and development systems are facing
at present. The high prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, and respiratory diseases, among others, is a prime concern across the
globe. The chronic diseases have been responsible for 60% of the deaths
worldwide and constitute approximately 43% of the global economic burden for
diseases. According to World Health Organization in 2016, healthcare spending
increased from 2.4% to 7.5% between 2015 and 2020.By 2020, the global spending on
diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory diseases, is
expected to reach $4 trillion. The chronic conditions hold approximately 65% of
the annual healthcare cost of any country and one-third of the global population
at present. Figure3: Chronic Conditions: Key Statistics Source: WHO Website, Deloitte

The growth of the
precision
medicine market over the last few years have been monumental. The factors
propelling the growth of the precision medicine market are increasing focus on
targeted therapy by reducing trial-and-error medicine, growing demand for non-invasive
testing procedures, reducing adverse drug reactions through pharmacogenomics testing, advancement of technology in understanding human biology & disease
susceptibility, and shift in the significance of medicine from reaction to prevention,
among others. However, several clinical, economic, ethical, and regulatory
conditions continue to challenge the growth of the market.
