The major factors driving the growth of this Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Market include the growing preference for non-invasive techniques over invasive methods, rising focus on reimbursement for NIPT, the launch of new and advanced NIPT products, and increasing maternal age (growth in the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in babies). Furthermore, untapped emerging markets are expected to offer potential growth opportunities to players operating in the NIPT Market during the forecast period. On the other hand, a dearth of skilled professionals is expected to restrain the growth of this market in the coming years. 

Key Market Players

"North America dominated the NIPT Market "

In 2018, North America dominated the Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Market, followed by Europe. The large share of this market can primarily be attributed to the strong economies in the US and Canada, which have allowed for significant investments in technology in this region. Growth in the North American market is supported by the presence of a better reimbursement structure and a favorable funding scenario for research activities, rising awareness about NIPT, and the increasing demand for the early detection of birth defects in this region.

Recent Developments:

  • BGI and Eluthia (Germany) launched the NIFTY test (non-invasive prenatal test), under the brand name PreviaTest in Germany.
  •  Illumina expanded its NIPT platform with the launch of VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2.
