Cell-free Fetal DNA Testing Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The cell-free fetal DNA testing market is to capture a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period. The market is projected to be valued at USD 1,466.3 million in 2023 and is likely to be worth USD 4,124.7 million by 2033.

The adoption of cell-free fetal DNA testing is likely to rise due to an extension of prenatal testing in a safe and non-invasive method during the forecast period. However, prenatal tests are used to find any irregularities in a fetus with screening procedures.

The two predominant prenatal tests are chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis. These both are invasive and could possess harm to the developing fetus. In some cases, it can cause miscarriage. Hence, to detect such problems, the demand for cell-free fetal DNA testing is likely to rise in recent years.

It is possible to do cell-free fetal DNA testing to determine the health of the fetus if the mother has been exposed to teratogens like alcohol, lead, or UV radiation. Growing public awareness of fetal anomalies is projected to be one of the factors driving high revenue share in the cell-free DNA testing market.

Key Safety Measures Driving the Cell-free Fetal DNA Testing Industry

A Significant Shift in Diagnosis

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling prenatal tests are possible within 14-20 weeks and 10-13 weeks of pregnancy respectively. However, cell-free fetal DNA testing is used to detect aneuploidy syndromes and fetal Down syndrome and signals a vital shift in diagnostic practice and prenatal screening. These all factors are flourishing in the market size during the forecast period.

Growing Awareness

The growth of the global cell-free fetal DNA testing market is increasing awareness and the requirement for safe or low-risk obstetric procedures for prenatal testing. Moreover, the technology is used in cell-free DNA analysis and its application to prenatal screening for aneuploidy is rapidly changing in recent years.

Technical Advancements

As technology progresses, improved innovative testing techniques are projected to hit the market and increase competition, which may put pressure on leading players in the cell-free fetal DNA testing industry. It is preferred over karyotyping due to its accurate results and growing demand from end-user segments.

Effective Results

The growth of the cell-free fetal DNA testing market is primarily attributed to accurate and effective results for aneuploidy screening during the forecast period. To detect specific changes, chromosomal abnormalities, and other several conditions of an unborn baby raising the demand for cell-free fetal DNA testing for better results in recent years.

Growth Limiting Factors in the Cell-Free Fetal DNA Testing Market

The high cost of cell-free fetal DNA testing is one of the main reasons limiting the growth of the global market for these tests. Due to patients' limited disposable means, which are unable to adopt cell-free fetal DNA testing, the market's size has recently been constrained.

Cell-free fetal DNA testing is not always accurate in the case of twins, and the market expansion for these tests is expected to be constrained by their high costs, a shortage of qualified physicians, the absence of insurance coverage for these tests, and their poor reimbursement.

Key Players are Consolidating their Grasp in Countries of Asia for High Revenues

The Asia Pacific cell-free fetal DNA testing industry is projected to expand at a stellar pace through 2033. FMI has projected that India’s market is estimated to witness a 12.4% CAGR, whereas China’s market is estimated to exhibit an 11.6% CAGR. These high-growth countries are pulling up the overall market growth rate.

Genetic diseases impact the fetuses in the mother’s womb. Early detection and diagnosis of these diseases help measure the total risk of these diseases and the chances of their recurrence.

Also, parents with a family history or an existing child with a genetic disease bear a high risk of having such a child. All these factors and high fertility rates indicate how important cell-free fetal DNA testing is among expecting parents.

Technological advances and upgradation in the medical infrastructure in the economies of Asia are fueling market expansion further. Surging awareness about the necessity of prenatal testing is emerging as another key propeller for cell-free fetal DNA testing.

The rapidly spreading diagnostic sector in the region is underpinned by robust adoption and surging technological advancements. The booming diagnostic sector is projected to have a positive effect on the application of cell-free fetal DNA testing.

The growth of cell-free fetal DNA testing is running parallel to the increasing fertility rates and genetic diseases among infants. Furthermore, the advancing healthcare scene is expected to have a compounding effect on the growth of cell-free fetal DNA testing in developed and developing countries alike.

The high birth rate, large population, and consanguineous marriage tradition in certain Indian communities are fueling the rate of genetic disorders in India. As a result, the surging prevalence of genetic disorders in infants is catalyzing the demand for cell-free fetal DNA testing.

A couple of factors, including the surging number of pregnant females using prenatal screening and rising mandatory policies for screening tests, are pushing the adoption of cell-free fetal DNA testing.
