Report Outlook
The global Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) market size was valued at USD 2.89 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period.
NIPT is increasingly being adopted for the detection of chromosomal abnormalities through DNA analysis before the birth of a baby. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is usually performed after 10 weeks of pregnancy for the detection of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome in early pregnancy.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) offers higher accuracy and detection rate than other screening tests. The Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) market is experiencing growth owing to rising cases of genetic disorders, changing consumer lifestyles, and growing demand from developing countries. Governments across the globe are introducing strict healthcare regulations, encouraging market players to develop effective, affordable, and patient-friendly non-invasive prenatal testing.
Prenatal cell-free DNA screening analyzes fetal DNA in the maternal bloodstream for detection of risk through chromosomal abnormalities. It is also used for revealing other chromosome problems and information associated with fetal sex. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) offers high reliability, safety, and accuracy for the detection of the three common trisomies including chromosomes 21, 18, and 13.
Increasing awareness regarding fetal testing and changing consumer lifestyles has increased the demand for these tests. New product launches and acquisitions by leading players in the market coupled with technological advancements further boost the market growth across the globe.
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a method used to screen babies for genetic abnormalities or chromosomal disorders. It involves examining the DNA of the baby’s placenta in a sample of the parent’s blood to look for genetic health conditions. NIPT is primarily used to detect Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Patau syndrome. Also, it can screen the baby for additional chromosomal disorders, such as changes to the chromosome’s structure due to missing or duplicated segments. Non-invasive prenatal testing can only assess the high and low risk of a genetic condition, making it a screening method instead of a diagnostic test.
NIPT only involves a quick blood draw with a needle and a syringe, making it a safe test for the parent and the baby. After taking the sample from the parent and the baby, it’s sent to a laboratory. In the lab, the technician will look at the DNA in the blood for signs of genetic health conditions. Once the results of the test are back, the clinician will likely pair them with the individual’s first-trimester screening to determine whether additional screening is required. With technological advancements and growing awareness regarding early fetal testing, the Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) market is projected to witness steady growth over the forecast period.

Gestation Period Outlook
The gestation period segment has been divided into 0 - 12 weeks, 13 - 24 weeks, 25 - 36 weeks. First-trimester testing is done around the 10th week and provides an early diagnosis. Testing done during the 0 - 12th week offers early analysis, timely medical treatment, and management during and after delivery. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) during the first trimester includes ultrasound among others to offer highly accurate results associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as down’s syndrome, heart abnormalities, and cystic fibrosis, among others.
Component Outlook
The component segment has been divided into consumables, instruments, software, and services. The consumables segment accounted for a major share of the global non-invasive prenatal testing industry owing to the growing demand for disposables, kits, and reagents. The growing need for advanced fetal diagnosis, supportive government regulations, and technological advancements supplement the growth of this segment.
Application Outlook
The application segment has been divided into monosomy, trisomy, microdeletion syndrome, and others. The trisomy accounted for a major share of the global non-invasive prenatal testing industry. There have been increasing cases of trisomy detected with rising maternal age, thereby increasing the adoption of NIPT. Higher accuracy offered by NIPT at the early stages of pregnancy supports the growth of this segment. Growing awareness regarding NIPT in developing countries, rising healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements boost the growth of this segment.
Method Outlook
On the basis of method, the market is segmented into cell-free DNA in maternal plasma tests, ultrasound detection, biochemical screening tests, and others.
