The global preimplantation genetic testing market is anticipated to observe impressive growth during the forecast period, 2023-2027. The major factors include growing occurrences of genetic diseases, rising delayed parenthood and extensive development in technology are fueling the growth of the market. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a prenatal genetic diagnosis where abnormal embryos are detected, thereby allowing the transfer of genetically normal embryos in an early stage. It enhances the mother's likelihood of giving birth to a child without any inherited diseases. The other factors supporting the market’s growth are the rise in R&D activities, increasing favorable government funding, the rising advent of medical knowledge and growth of technologically advanced genetic devices, rising infertility issues, the increasing awareness among patients about genetic disorders, growing adoption of inorganic growth strategies, high demand of in vitro fertilization treatments, and rising rates in birth defects.
Emerging Delayed Parenthood Foster the Market Growth
Over the past few years, a rise in the number of cases where couples are opting for late pregnancies is driving the growth of the market. The growing maternal age across the world is causing a high risk of chromosomal abnormalities and other various pregnancy complications such as miscarriages. For instance, in America, the standard age of first-time mothers changed from 21 to 26, while for fathers, it’s grown from 27 to 31. Apart from America, the standard age for first pregnancy is 31 in other developed nations.
Growing Rate of Infertility to Support Market Growth
The rising infertility rate around the world is fueling the growth of the market. This is attributed to the rising health problem associated with hormones, poor nutrition, consumption of tobacco, smoking, and alcohol, and increase in stress levels. Owing to the infertility issue among men and women surging, the number of couples opting for IVF is also rising, which, in turn, is bolstering the growth of the market. According to WHO, infertility is a worldwide health problem affecting millions of people of reproductive age. As per the WHO data, between 48 million couples and 186 million entities have infertility worldwide.
Increasing Incidences of Genetic Diseases and Increasing Awareness of Genetic Testing
The rising prevalence of diseases caused by mitochondrial, single-gene, and other gene-related disorders has enhanced people’s interest in preimplantation diagnostic and screening methods. According to the state's Department of Health, in Florida, about 1 in 28 infants is born with a congenital impairment. Therefore, preimplantation genetic testing helps to know the possibility of a person carrying forward genetic diseases to their offspring. Furthermore, there is an increase in awareness for genetic testing due to rising instances of genetic diseases and the prevention of genetic diseases which is bolstering the growth of the market. The growing awareness about the advantages of early diagnosis for genetic diseases is causing a high demand for preimplantation genetic testing. Expectant and parental populations are being educated by doctors to ensure healthy babies.
Market Segmentation
The global preimplantation genetic testing market is segmented into components, technology, application, end-user, and company.
