Market Dynamics

Introduction

Carrier screening is a type of genetic testing used to determine the origin of gene abnormalities. This type of test is typically performed during pregnancy and gives important information regarding the woman's reproductive risks as well as the possibility of a genetic condition in the child.

The need for this type of examination has increased to prevent any problems or concerns. It is now possible to discover around 100 illnesses from a single sample using expanded carrier screening. Furthermore, by studying the family medical history, focused carrier screening aids in the identification of any disease. In addition, medical diseases such as pulmonary and hemorrhagic illnesses will experience the greatest rise in the carrier screening market.

Market Drivers

The decrease in the cost of sequencing, the increasing emphasis on early identification and prevention of complex genetic abnormalities, and the increasing maternal age leading to pregnancy problems are projected to fuel the expansion of the carrier screening market. However, major barriers to market growth exist, including regulatory issues in the realm of carrier screening and a lack of high-complexity testing centers. Carrier screening is a hereditary test that determines whether a person possesses a gene that causes certain genetic illnesses.

It is done before or during pregnancy. Carrier screening determines the likelihood of having a kid with a genetic disease. Carrier screening is analyzing blood, saliva, or tissue collected from within the body.

The carrier screening market is a developing one with enormous growth potential. Recent technological developments are aiding the quick adoption of technology. Carrier screening is a set of genetic tests used to determine whether a person is a prospective carrier of genetic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis (CF), Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, sickle cell anemia, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Carrier screening tests are widely used by couples planning pregnancy to identify the possibility of transferring genetic abnormalities to the kid.

The earlier a condition is diagnosed, the more likely it will be cured or controlled successfully. Early treatment of the disease may also make it simpler to live with. Early disease detection allows people to plan while they are still able to make vital health and support decisions, as well as financial and legal considerations. Inherited genetic diseases include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.

Carrier testing for such disorders can advise a couple about their chances of delivering a kid with a genetic problem. The identification of the risk before the onset of symptoms is referred to as predictive/presymptomatic testing. Many genetic diseases are detectable early in pregnancy. As a result, customer demand for safe and effective carrier tests is increasing the market growth.

The incorporation of carrier tests into routine clinical treatment provides the market with a competitive edge. Many studies show that early detection of diseases can fully prevent them or at least reduce their effects.  Several countries' healthcare organizations are funding newborn screening to predict disorders such as cancer that may emerge later in life. However, the social and ethical implications of carrier screening, as well as the high prices and reimbursement challenges associated with carrier testing, are limiting the market's expansion.

Several investments/guidelines in the industry have been directed in recent years, which would boost the overall market. Some of them are:

  • The presence of well-established guidelines regarding carrier screening, the presence of established companies pursuing key business strategies, the decrease in the cost of sequencing, the rising emphasis on early detection and prevention of complex genetic disorders, and the increasing maternal age leading to pregnancy complications, among other factors, have all contributed to the growth of this market. Furthermore, an increased emphasis on carrier screening research, such as targeted carrier screening in spinal muscular atrophy and the growing application of preconception carrier screening, is likely to help the carrier screening market's growth. 

Recent Mergers & Acquisitions

The market for carrier screening is highly competitive. The state of the economy and government assistance have a direct impact on the expansion of businesses. Based on their product's quality and market penetration in both the target and growing markets, these companies distinguish their carrier screening driver in the industry.

Furthermore, recent important mergers and acquisitions in the sector have had a big impact on the dynamics of competition. For instance:

  • In March 2022, BillionToOne received USD 125 million in Series C funding, co-led by Adams Street Partners and existing investor Hummingbird Ventures, with participation from Baillie Gifford, Neotribe Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, Civilization Ventures, Fifty Years VC, Pacific 8 Ventures, Time BioVentures, and Libertus Capital, among others.
  • In January 2022, Mitera announced the availability of its at-home reproductive genetic testing products Peaches & Me and 23 Pears in all 50 states. It looks for conditions like Down syndrome.
  • In June 2021, Grail debuted the Galleri blood test, a revolutionary multi-cancer screening test. The test was designed to check patients who are already at high risk of cancer, such as persons over the age of 50.
  • In 2018, Invitae Corporation introduced its comprehensive genetic screening equipment.
  • In 2017, GenPath Women's Health, an OPKO Health company, launched CalriTest, a non-invasive prenatal screening technique. This device will aid in the identification of aberrant chromosomes.
