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.
