Pregnancy test kits quantify hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), present in our blood or urine samples, to determine whether a woman is pregnant or not. Products such as Clearblue’s digital pregnancy test kits can estimate the number of weeks the concerned person has been pregnant. The digital pregnancy test kits can be broadly categorized into analog and digital. Digital pregnancy test kits clearly display the results on its screen, showing pregnant or not pregnant, however, the analog kits display a line or symbol to represent the results. The digital pregnancy test kits market is characterized by few players, as customers highly patronize brands in this market and are hesitant to try new products.

Traditional kits offer low quality of visibility and more often than not, a very faint line appears on the screen of such kits. This in turn, perplexes customers by providing inaccurate interpretation as to whether the result is positive or negative. Women taking conventional pregnancy tests, thus end up visiting healthcare facilities such as clinics or hospitals, to get a better understanding about their result. On the contrary, digital pregnancy tests provide visibly accurate results, thus preventing the need to visit a healthcare professional. This in turn, is expected to drive growth of the market for digital pregnancy test kits.
Digital pregnancy test kits estimate the number of weeks a woman has been pregnant, thus eliminating the requirement for conventional methods such as ultrasound scans, which provide information regarding date of conception and due date of delivery. Women thus, do not require to visit hospitals or clinics to avail for ultrasound tests. The convenience and result accuracy provided by digital pregnancy test kits, is thus increasing the inclination of women towards this product. This in turn, is increasing customer base, which is expected to boost growth of the digital pregnancy test kits market.
