Report Overview

The global non invasive prenatal testing market size was valued at USD 3.80 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.61% from 2023 to 2030. High demand for early Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) and improvements in the reimbursement scenario are among the factors anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period. The reimbursement for noninvasive prenatal tests varies in insurance plans owing to the difference in contracts. The listed prices of NIPT range from over USD 2,000 to under USD 1,000. However, studies suggest that first-line NIPT screens have become highly cost-effective and are available at low prices ranging from USD 619 to USD 744. Various countries such as the Netherlands are implementing policies to fully reimburse NIPT in the second trimester, thereby resulting in the higher adoption of these tests. In addition, other countries such as Germany plan to reimburse noninvasive prenatal tests for chromosomal disorders such as down syndrome.

The market was slightly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several manufacturing companies maintained regular communication with the U.S. FDA to keep themselves informed of any supply chain disruptions. In addition, several research studies were conducted to estimate the commercial impact of COVID-19. According to a SeraCare report, IVD developers and clinical testing facilities collaborated with research organizations to determine the effects of COVID-19 infection on pregnancy and congenital debilities in infants and the requirement for NIPT during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The demand for NIPT is increasing in various countries owing to various factors such as an increasing number of doctors choosing advanced genetic testing for high-risk pregnancies, a desire to delay pregnancy, and more pregnancy-related problems in the third- or second trimester. The use of invasive techniques of prenatal testing, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, can lead to issues such as miscarriage. This has led to a decline in the use of these procedures and high demand for tests that are more efficient, noninvasive, and safe. NIPT, through the use of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) that circulates in the mother’s blood, can be used for the detection of commonly occurring trisomies in the fetus such as turner syndrome, down syndrome, fetal rhesus D status, and sex chromosome disorders and for determination of fetal sex.

The market is highly saturated with existing key players operating in the NIPT market. Companies are forming partnerships and collaborations to maintain a stable position in the market. For instance, in June 2021, Illumina entered into a strategic collaboration with Next Generation Genomic to introduce a CE-IVD, NGS-based NIPT test, VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 in Thailand. With this initiative, Illumina would have greater patient access to NIPT's next-generation sequencing.
