Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) Market Size

The global preimplantation genetic testing market was valued at USD 780.8 million in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2024 to 2032. The market growth is primarily driven by increasing prevalence of genetic disorders in newborns and rising awareness of reproductive health. PGT provides a proactive approach to identifying genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation, addressing the concerns of families seeking to prevent hereditary diseases.
 

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) Market

Also, growing advancements in reproductive technologies, particularly in vitro fertilization (IVF), have improved the accessibility of PGT. The rising maternal age and declining fertility rates further support the market's growth, as couples increasingly consider genetic testing to ensure healthy pregnancies. For instance, the Society at a Glance 2024 edition reported a concerning decline in fertility rates, particularly in countries such as Italy, Spain, and Korea. These countries are experiencing exceptionally low fertility rates, resulting in increasing pressure on couples to maximize their chances of successful pregnancies.

 

This trend is expected to boost the demand for PGT services as more couples seek to ensure genetic health, thereby driving market growth. Additionally, societal acceptance of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and genetic testing is poised to project significant expansion in the coming years.

 

PGT is a reproductive technology used during IVF to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. This process involves extracting a few cells from an embryo and analyzing them for specific genetic conditions or chromosomal disorders.
 

Preimplantation Genetic Testing Market Trends

Growing advancements in PGT technologies significantly propel market demand by enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of genetic screening. Innovations such as next generation sequencing (NGS), allow for comprehensive analysis of embryos, enabling the detection of chromosomal abnormalities and specific genetic disorders with greater precision.
 

  • For instance, in July 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched two new NGS-based research tools, the Ion ReproSeq PGT-A Kit and the Ion AmpliSeq Polyploidy Kit, designed for PGT for aneuploidy (PGT-A). These tools were intended to enhance genetic screening in IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. This launch strengthens the company's offering and position in the reproductive health research market and supports advancements in genetic testing for healthier pregnancies.
     

Further, advancements in non-invasive PGT techniques transformed ART that aimed to significantly improve the safety and precision of genetic testing in IVF. A breakthrough involves analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blastocoel fluid or embryo culture media, eliminating the need for invasive embryo biopsies. These innovations drive the adoption of PGT, further propelling market expansion as more individuals seek advanced reproductive testing.
