This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nutrigenomics Testing Market according to our research experts:
Obesity Segment is Expected to Exhibhit a Significant Market Growth in the Nutrigenomics Testing Market
· According to the factsheet of National Health Service, as of May 2020, about 20% of the children aged 6 years were obese in the United Kingdom.
