The Carrier Screening Market Growth is Accelerated by Advances in Molecular Testing


 Carrier screening is a type of genetic test that identifies carriers of recessive genetic conditions. It analyzes DNA or a person's genome to determine if they carry one of several genes for an inherited disorder. Such disorders include cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and Tay-Sachs disease. Carrier screening is receiving increased demand as it provides prospective parents with reproductive options and timely access to specialized healthcare if both parents are identified as carriers of the same autosomal recessive disorders. The global Carrier Screening Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.34 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 17.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.


Market key trends:

Advances in molecular testing have accelerated the growth of the carrier screening market. Technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled simultaneous screening of multiple genetic disorders from a single sample with high accuracy and sensitivity. NGS-based panels can screen for over 100 hereditary conditions in one single test, allowing early detection of carrier status. This has streamlined the carrier screening process while delivering comprehensive results faster. Widespread adoption of innovative molecular diagnostic techniques is thus expected to drive the carrier screening market during the forecast period.

Segment Analysis
The global carrier screening market is dominated by the expanded carrier screening sub-segment. This is because expanded carrier screening screens for hundreds of genetic disorders in a single test, unlike traditional carrier screening which screens for less than a dozen diseases. Expanded carrier screening provide comprehensive information to expecting parents and help them make informed family planning decisions.

Key Takeaways
The global carrier screening market is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. The market size for carrier screening is projected to reach US$ 2.34 Bn by 2023.

Regional analysis
North America currently dominates the global carrier screening market and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This is due to presence of major players, rising awareness about carrier screening tests among expectant parents, and growing demand for non-invasive prenatal tests in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market due to increasing healthcare expenditure and growing medical tourism industry in the region.

Key players
Key players operating in the carrier screening market are Eurofins Scientific (US), Invitae (US), OPKO Health (US), Fulgent Genetics (US), Quest Diagnostics (US), Sema4 (US), Myriad Genetics (US), Illumina (US), and Thermo Fisher Scientific (US). Eurofins Scientific and Invitae together hold over 35% share of the global carrier screening market.
