Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Disposables, Ultrasound Devices, Assay Kits & Reagents, Polymerase Chain Reaction Instruments, Next-Generation Sequencing Systems, Microarrays and Other Products), Method, Gestation Period, Technology, Application, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Market is accounted for $4.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $9.1 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period. A DNA-based blood test called non-invasive prenatal testing is used to determine the growing foetus's risk of genetic diseases. A sort of screening test called Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is used to identify specific genetic disorders in the growing fetus during pregnancy. NIPT is a non-invasive treatment that requires a mother's simple blood test, as opposed to invasive procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
According to Eurostat, in 2017, around 45% of women in the European Union who gave birth to their first child belonged to the average age group of 29.1 years. Also, in the same year, around 78,275 births of first children were reported in women aged more than 40 years.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Need for accurate and sophisticated screening
The development of extremely sophisticated screening methods that are highly sensitive and accurate in the early detection of genetic abnormalities in newborns is a continuing priority for a number of businesses. Manufacturers are placing a lot of emphasis on the creation of cutting-edge noninvasive prenatal diagnostics and forming strategic alliances and collaborations to boost their market share. These are the factors influencing the growth of the market.
Restraint:Limited availability of counseling
Even while the NIPT offers useful information, people may not always have easy access to enough counseling and assistance to fully comprehend the consequences of the results and make decisions. There may be ethical and legal issues with using NIPT data in some areas due to a lack of defined laws around its usage and interpretation. These are the aspects affecting the market's expansion.
Opportunity:High risk of chromosomal abnormalities with increasing maternal age
Growing older mothers are more likely to have high blood pressure, limited fertility, miscarriages, stillbirths, and maternal death, among other health problems. Furthermore, the risk of genetic disorders in neonates might increase with maternal age due to improper chromosomal division. Therefore, it is anticipated that the market would be driven by the rising frequency of chromosomal abnormalities along with the aging of mothers.
Threat:High cost of tests
Growing populations in emerging nations would be hampered by a lack of knowledge about the hazards associated with genetic disorders. However, some other issues that can restrict market expansion include reduced per capita healthcare spending and inadequate test reimbursement rules. The adoption of these tests will be restricted by their high cost, which makes them comparatively unaffordable in many developing nations.
Covid-19 ImpactPrenatal care was among the regular medical treatments that were difficult to obtain during the pandemic's height. There were some visits that were cancelled or done virtually, which had an impact on the regularity of NIPT and other prenatal tests. In order to handle COVID-19 cases, healthcare resources were reallocated, which could have had an impact on the accessibility of NIPT testing or lengthened wait times for those in need of these services.
The ultrasound detection segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The ultrasound detection segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. This is the method that is most favored and used for the ultrasound machine is utilized in this technique. Using a probe, sound pulses with frequency between one and five megahertz are injected into the body during the test. In addition, the probe serves as a receiver for sound waves reflected off tissue surfaces.
The diagnostic laboratories segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The diagnostic laboratories segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The testing environment where the test is conducted is a diagnostic laboratory. Various testing services are offered by the laboratories based on the needs of the patients. Because there are so many diagnostic labs and centers that offer testing services and goods, the diagnostic laboratories category is the largest.
Region with largest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The adoption and demand for testing in this region is expected to rise due to the high prevalence of preterm births, high rate of maternal mortality, and increased occurrences of chromosomal abnormalities. Numerous studies provide light on the efficacy of raising awareness of prenatal care. In addition, the market is expanding due to high diagnosis rates, increased public adoption and awareness, and the release of new, more technologically sophisticated tests.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the rising maternal age, which contributes to the growing incidence of chromosomal aneuploidies in babies, leading to a rise in the potential customer base. The technical integration of NGS techniques, significant advancements in China and Japan, and enhanced healthcare infrastructure are anticipated to propel market expansion.
