Prenatal
and New-born Genetic Testing Market
valued USD 1.12
billion in 2013 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 26.9% from 2013 to
2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 8.37 billion in 2019.
Prenatal
and newborn genetic testing is referred to the utilization of
screening/diagnostic procedures for a fetus or a new born baby to
detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Patau
syndrome and Edward syndrome. These testing procedures enable
detection of certain genetic abnormalities in as early as 8 to 10
weeks of gestation and also help to determine the sex of the fetus.
According to Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, Down syndrome,
open neural tube defects and trisomy 18 are the birth defects that
85% of women are advised to be screened or tested during pregnancy.
Whereas, there are some tests which provides information about
trisomy 13 and other chromosome abnormalities. Prenatal and newborn
genetic tests are of two types, diagnostic and screening tests.
Diagnostic tests helps to confirm the presence of certain genetic
conditions in a fetus or a new born baby, while screening tests
detects the chance of development of certain genetic abnormalities in
a fetus or new born baby.

The
prenatal and newborn genetic testing market is driven by increasing
maternal age and late pregnancies, technological advancements and
growing awareness about genetic disorders in the fetus. It was also
observed that the prenatal and newborn genetic testing market is
still at a nascent stage and have many opportunities such as
capitalizing on potential markets in the emerging Asian, African and
Latin American countries.
In
diagnostic techniques market, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) segment
accounted for the largest share, as compared to FISH and aCGH. The
PCR market is mainly driven by rising incidences of genetic diseases
and forensics coupled with high process efficiency, better precision
and reliability of the technique, and amplification. Non-invasive
prenatal testing (NIPT) is the largest market segment in screening
method and is expected to grow at highest CAGR of 37.6% from 2013 to
2019.
The
North American region accounted for the largest share of the total
prenatal and newborn genetic testing market. One of the key factors
driving the growth of North America market is the non-invasive nature
of the test that completely eliminates the risk of miscarriage
associated with invasive tests such as amniocentesis and CVS
(Chorionic Villus Sampling).
The
diagnostic testing techniques market consists of key players such as
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Agilent Technologies, Perkin Elmer and Ariosa
Diagnostics. Agilent Technologies and Bio-Rad Laboratories are the
leading players in diagnostic testing techniques market because of
their dominance in reagents and instruments market. Major players of
the screening methods market are Sequenom, Inc., Illumina, Inc. and
Natera, Inc. Overall Sequenom, Inc. and Verinata Health are the major
market players of the global prenatal and newborn genetic testing
market because of their initial product launches in this market.
