Genetic Testing Market Trends

The significance of genetic testing is increasing with the development of innovations and new technologies. The availability of efficient and highly sensitive DNA sequencing methods for prenatal genetic testing offers new approaches for initial screening during pregnancy. These methods allow the detection of small amounts of fetal DNA that naturally circulate in the mother's blood during pregnancy.

• Genetic testing provides pregnant women with the benefit of a new type of prenatal test that eliminates the risk of miscarriage. This test involves a simple blood draw from the pregnant woman and can be performed at a very early stage of pregnancy. It is commonly known as non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) or cell-free fetal DNA testing. The global adoption of NIPT is rising significantly, with several million pregnant women undergoing this test each year.
  
• Furthermore, the development of next generation sequencing (NGS), a rapidly evolving technology that enables the sequencing of entire genomes or specific parts of genomes, allows for rapid extraction of genetic information from biological materials. This advancement is expected to drive the adoption of genetic tests and accelerate the growth of the market in the future.
