Global Non-invasive Prenatal Testing(NIPT) Market, by Test Type (Panel 1 Test, Panel 2 Test, and Panel 3 Test), by Application (Trisomy, Microdeletion Syndrome, Sex chromosomes abnormalities, and Others), by End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, and Maternity Centers), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.60 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
The increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as partnership, collaboration and agreements by the key players in the market is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2019, Cindy Cisneros, committee for economic development, in collaboration with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, a diagnostic and technology company dedicated to offer automated solutions in non-invasive prenatal testing, completed a clinical trial study in development of non-invasive prenatal test which can be used in detection of fetal aneuploidy. Maternal blood was collected to study and identify the aneuploidy birth defects of fetus.
Global Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) market, owing to the risk for pregnant women of transmitting infections to the fetus. For instance, in October 2021, a paper was published by National Center for Biotechnology Information according to which pregnant women are in at-risk category with unknown consequences for both fetal and pregnant women. COVID-19 pandemic had caused a significant decrease in the number of invasive procedures for prenatal diagnosis, such as chorionic villous sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis.
Global Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) Market: Key Developments
In August 2019, Natera, Inc. a global leader in cell-free DNA test, announced that Panorama, a non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPT), has now more than two million processing tests and each day 2000 Panorama are processed. Panorama test has validated in 18 peer-reviewed published clinical trials. Panorama test uses a unique single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) based technology to analyze fetal or placental DNA obtained from blood drawn from mother.
In June 2021, Illumina, Inc., a provider of an innovative technologies, in collaboration with Next Generation Genomic Co., Ltd. (NGG Thailand), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders in laboratory services and reproductive science, announced the launch of VeriSeq NIPT solution v2 in Thailand. VeriSeq NIPT solution v2 is a next generation sequencing based approach to noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
