PRENATAL SCREENING MARKET OVERVIEW

The prenatal screening market stood at approximately USD 5.22 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 5.79 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 11.99 billion by 2033, driven by a CAGR of 11% from 2025 to 2033.

Prenatal testing and newborn screening tests are diagnostic procedures that are used to detect any potential birth problems in the infant. Prenatal screening aims to detect issues in a wide population using inexpensive and noninvasive technologies. Prenatal diagnosis is more invasive and focused on obtaining more precise information if a specific condition has been identified. Routine ultrasounds, blood tests, and blood pressure measurements are the most often used screening methods. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus collection are both common diagnostic procedures. The increasing prevalence of genetic problems in infants aided in the expansion of the prenatal testing and newborn screening market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Caused Lockdown led in Upsurge of the Market Demand

The COVID-19 outbreak is expected to enhance the prenatal screening market share due to the business world's embrace of prenatal screening technology to promote efficiency, transparency, popularity, and reliability. The COVID-19 pandemic epidemic increased the demand on hospitals to speed up and expand their testing capabilities. The market under study saw growth in vendor development of automation systems as a result of the daily increase in the number of foetus examined, which is anticipated to open up new potential for market expansion.

LATEST TRENDS

The Use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Uplift the Market Demand

The application of machine learning and artificial intelligence is progressively gaining traction in the prenatal testing and newborn screening sector. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence in machines. Machine learning is a subset of AI. Machine learning and AI assist organisations in the prenatal testing and newborn screening sector in conducting a complete analysis of all relevant data, providing insights about various disorders, and providing a more accurate evaluation of tissue samples.

For example, Sema4, a US-based AI-driven genomic and clinical data intelligence platform firm, will debut Sema4 Elements in September 2021. Sema4 Elements are information-driven genetic solutions, digital platforms for patients and providers, and services that enable doctors to manage patients holistically across their reproductive and generational health journeys using artificial intelligence.

The hospitals is the leading part of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Prior Knowledge and Deep Rooted Information Offered by Screening to the Parents will Boost the Market Growth

Other family members with these disorders may be known to one or both partners. Prior to conception, testing may alleviate anxiety, prepare the couple for the potential short- or long-term repercussions of having a child with the disease, direct the couple towards adoption or foster parenting, or induce preimplantation genetic testing during in vitro fertilisation. In certain situations, the tests are used to determine whether or not the pregnancy will be aborted, but physicians and patients also find them valuable in detecting high-risk pregnancies early so that birth can be arranged in a tertiary care hospital where the infant can receive adequate treatment.

High Prevalence of Genetic Diseases in Infants to Strengthen the Market Structure 

The market for prenatal testing and newborn screening has expanded as a result of the increased prevalence of genetic disorders in infants. Genetic disorders include conditions including Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anaemia, Haemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, Tay Sachs disease, Fragile X Syndrome, and Huntington's disease, according to the World Health Organization. One of the genetic diseases that affects millions of individuals worldwide is sickle cell anaemia, which is more prevalent in those whose ancestors originated in Africa, America, Cuba, Central America, Saudi Arabia, and India.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Insufficient Healthcare Access and Low Disposable Income to Hamper the Market Demand

Prenatal screening market growth may be impeded by the relatively low healthcare availability in most developing countries compared to industrialised countries. In India, for example, there were only roughly 1.9 million hospital beds for 1.33 billion people in 2020. Limited access to healthcare services, as well as a scarcity of hospitals and healthcare experts, have hampered market expansion in many developing countries. Furthermore, limited disposable income in many countries reduces access to healthcare facilities, stifling the expansion of the prenatal screening market share.
