Prenatal screening tests devices Market Trends

• Growing maternal age is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for prenatal screening tests devices is being driven by the Growing Maternal Age. Prenatal testing gives you details about the health of your unborn child. It finds any issues, including as genetic flaws and congenital disorders that might have an impact on the health of fetuses. While some women require specialized screening procedures, doctors advise certain prenatal screenings. Testing is done on newborns to find anomalies that may lead to inborn genetic disorders or other health issues. During screening, genetic disorders such as homocystinuria, phenylketonuria, and Down syndrome can be identified in neonates.

Additionally, the tendency to put off having children raises the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic illnesses in babies. Prenatal screening tests to identify such anomalies are becoming more and more necessary as more women want to become pregnant at older ages. Growth in the industry is stimulated by increased healthcare spending, particularly in developed and emerging nations where it leads to better access to screening tests and prenatal care. However, due to high costs or inadequate healthcare infrastructure, access to advanced prenatal screening tests may be restricted in some areas or healthcare settings, which could have an impact on broad adoption.

A greater frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic illnesses in babies is a result of the trend of postponing delivery. Prenatal screening tests are becoming more and more necessary to identify these anomalies as more women choose to become pregnant at older ages. Prenatal screening tests that don't involve risk are more frequently adopted because expectant parents are drawn to non-invasive, risk-free ways of keeping an eye on their unborn child's health. 

Prenatal screening tests are in high demand because early discovery of fetal anomalies enables better medical management and educates parents and healthcare providers in making decisions. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that congenital anomalies account for 6% of all births and are a major contributor to the  illness burden, particularly in low- and middle-income nations. Additionally, the Prenatal and Newborn Genetic Testing Market Size is positively impacted by the increase in demand for non-invasive prenatal screening. Thus, result in driving the prenatal screening tests devices market revenue.

Prenatal screening tests devices Market Segment Insights

Prenatal screening tests devices Test Insights

The  prenatal screening tests devices market segmentation, based on test includes Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Tests, Free Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Tests, Inhibin A Tests, Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPP-A) Tests, Total Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Tests, and Unconjugated Estriol (uE3) Tests. The non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) segment dominated the market. A blood test called NIPT is more precise than the initial pregnancy screening exam. It is provided to expectant mothers whose unborn child has been diagnosed with a higher probability of developing Down syndrome, Edwards’s syndrome, or Patau syndrome based on results from prior screening tests.
