Non-invasive Prenatal Testing(NIPT) Market, by Test Type (Panel 1 Test, Panel 2 Test, and Panel 3 Test), by Application (Trisomy, Microdeletion Syndrome, Sex chromosomes abnormalities, and Others), by End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, and Maternity Centers), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is also known as noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS). It is a procedure used to determine the chromosomal abnormalities or disorders of the fetus which generally occur due to missing or an extra copy (aneuploidy) of a chromosome. NIPT examines small deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments which are circulating in the blood of pregnant woman. These small fragments are freely floating and hence are called cell-free DNA. NIPT is carried out for the detection of trisomy 18, trisomy 13, Down syndrome, and missing or extra copies of X and Y chromosomes. NIPT is found to be useful during the COVID-19 pandemic situation to avoid the risk of infection. The potential to isolate fetal DNA and fetal cells from maternal blood during pregnancy has revealed exciting opportunities for upgraded noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
Market Dynamics
Obtaining reimbursement for tests from payers is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global non-invasive prenatal testing market. Vendors may focus on obtaining insurance coverage for NIPT tests offered by them, considering the high costs of these tests. Moreover, attention towards health education, subsidies for NIPT, and genetic counseling is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in September 2020, researchers from Fudan University, China, and University College London, U.K., reported that, in China, compared with Zhengzhou participants, a higher proportion of Shenzhen women had heard of NIPT (87.30% vs. 64.03%), were willing to receive NIPT (91.80% vs. 80.43%) and had taken NIPT (83.12% vs. 54.54%), while their satisfaction level was lower.
