Global Prenatal & Maternal Diagnostic Market Analysis Report 2016-2020

Dublin, Jan. 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k7jjwb/global_prenatal) has announced the addition of the "Global Prenatal & Maternal Diagnostic Market Analysis to 2020" report to their offering.

GLOBAL PRENATAL AND MATERNAL DIAGNOSTIC MARKET ANALYSIS indicates that the launch of noninvasive prenatal screening tests (NIPTs) in 2011 dramatically altered the market dynamic, and this sub-section of the market will see an 18% CAGR to 2021. This is at the expense of more invasive techniques as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.

A newly published analysis indicates that by 2021, the global prenatal, maternal and newborn screening diagnostic test market will be worth over $10.5 billion, up from $8 billion today. This market is subdivided into ultrasound, fetal MRI, maternal serum and noninvasive prenatal screening technologies and will see a five year compound annual growth rate of 4.1%.

When human genome sequencing was successfully accomplished, experts in the healthcare industry expected that DNA sequencing would mainly focus on genetic diseases in adults. Instead, the impact of sequencing technology has been primarily on prenatal, newborn and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) tests (prior to in vitro fertilization). In a short span of four years, the different types of maternal serum screening tests and fetal ultrasound tests are getting gradually replaced by the new technology of non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPTs). In the past four years, hundreds and thousands of these new tests have been performed in screening cffDNA from maternal blood.

The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the various technologies being employed for detecting genetic diseases in embryos, fetuses and newborns. The various chapters describe common pregnancy disorders, numerical chromosome disorders and structural chromosome disorders, single gene disorders inherited by fetuses, newborns and embryos.

The global prenatal and maternal diagnostic test market is assessed with respect to:

• Fetal Ultrasound
• Prenatal MRI Screening
• Maternal Serum Screening Tests
• Noninvasive Prenatal Tests (NIPTs) using cffDNA
• NIPTs by Product
• Prenatal Diagnostic Invasive Tests
• Newborn Screening for Genetic Diseases
• Newborn Screening Market by Technology
• Preimplantation Screening/Diagnosis (PGS/PGD)

SWOT and merger/acquisition analysis is also performed as is a comprehensive documentation of the legislation pertaining to newborn screening by geography and how clinical programs are implemented in developed and developing markets.

Emerging trends in associated markets are also analysed in order to give the reader a comprehensive overview of how prenatal and maternal diagnostic testing is affected by the following industries:

• Molecular Diagnostics Market
• Liquid Biopsy Market
• Personalized Medicine Diagnostics Market
• In vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Market
