The global Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) market size was USD 3.48 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 4.11 billion in 2021 to USD 13.16 billion in 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.1% during the 2021-2028 period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited an increased growth of 17.9% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with NIPT witnessing no impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


Genes and chromosomes can sometimes undergo mutation, increasing the risk of genetic abnormalities in an unborn child. According to an article published by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, trisomy 21 is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities affecting around 5,000 babies each year in the United States. The increasing incidence of chromosomal anomalies has led to a surge in demand for an effective screening tool for prenatal tests.


The market is witnessing significant technological advancements to improve testing capabilities. Various established players and new start-ups seek funding to conduct research and clinical testing of the NIPT techniques. Government and private organizations are actively finding research institutes and start-ups to develop innovative testing procedures to detect key genetic disorders through NIPT. For instance, in June 2019, Cradle Genomics, a San-Diego-based start-up, raised over US$ 17 Mn in Series A funding that was carried out to support clinical development, CLIA lab operations, corporate infrastructure, and commercial launch of the tests.  The investors included Illumina Ventures, Sea Lane Ventures, Axon Ventures, Listwin Ventures, and Alexandria Real Estate Equities.


Minimal Impact Backed by Close Contact with FDA during COVID-19 Pandemic


The COVID-19 outbreak has had a limited impact on the Non Invasive prenatal testing market. Several manufacturing companies are in close contact with the U.S. FDA to keep them informed about any disruption in the supply chain.


Moreover, several research studies are being conducted to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the market. According to a report published by SeraCare, in-vitro diagnostics manufacturers and clinical testing laboratories collaborate with research organizations to determine the interference of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the pregnancy and congenital disabilities in newborns and the need for Non Invasive prenatal testing during the COVID pandemic. However, limited established results have led to uncertainty over the growth in demand for these tests during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prenatal Testing Witnesses a Shift towards Non Invasive Tests    


Prenatal screening or testing has been shifting its balance towards non-invasive tests, citing the clinical and economic benefits of these tests in recent years. The advent of technologically advanced Non Invasive tests by market players, combined with the established clinical effectiveness of these tests, has been instrumental in making this shift happen. Many countries have implemented policies where Non Invasive prenatal tests are now the standard tests in prenatal screening instead of invasive tests. For example, in the Netherlands, non-invasive tests have been declared the standard tests for screening pregnant women. Although invasive tests still have their applications in identifying specific disorders, non-invasive tests have demonstrated high growth in adoption globally.


DRIVING FACTORS


Growing Prevalence of Chromosomal Abnormalities to Augment Demand for NIPT


Recently, the maternal age at childbearing has shifted because of a wide range of social and economic factors. According to a report published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in England, the average age of mothers in 2017 increased to 30.5 years, from 30.4 years in 2016. This has increased the prevalence of Down syndrome and other genetic complications in newborns.


According to a report published by EUROCAT – Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies in Europe: epidemiology of Down syndrome in 2019, it was estimated that approximately 104,000 babies were born with congenital anomalies in Europe, out of which 8,320 babies were suffering from Down Syndrome. This has led to the early screening of pregnant women through prenatal tests, including non-invasive ones.


Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies and raising awareness about the advantages of non-invasive tests over invasive prenatal tests are likely to augment their adoption during the forecast period.


Constant Product Innovations Will Contribute to Market Growth


Several companies are constantly focusing on developing highly advanced screening technologies that are very sensitive and accurate in the early detection of genetic disorders in babies. Manufactures are majorly emphasizing the development of advanced Non Invasive prenatal tests and entering into strategic partnerships and collaborations to strengthen their positions in the market. Human genome sequencing has enabled huge developments in the detection of aneuploidies among the neonatal population. For instance, in 2019, Progenity, Inc., a biotechnology company, announced the launch of the Resura Prenatal Test for Monogenic Disease, the first customizable, Non Invasive prenatal test for single-gene disorders.


Additionally, many countries are adopting screening policies to include non-invasive prenatal screening to detect chromosomal anomalies. In 2018, the NHS implemented initiatives to promote Non Invasive prenatal testing in their public health policies. This has led to the increased awareness about the benefits associated with these tests in the country.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost of Tests to Restrain the Market Growth


The high cost of these tests leading to relatively low affordability in many developing countries is likely to limit their adoption. According to an article published by Future Medicine, the average cost of NIPT in India is around USD 350 to USD 400. This has limited their uptake in emerging countries.


Additionally, the lack of awareness among the general population in emerging countries pertaining to risks of genetic abnormalities would hamper growth. At the same time, the lower per capita healthcare spending and lack of adequate reimbursement policies for tests are some of the additional factors that may limit the global Non Invasive prenatal testing market growth.
