Newborn Screening Market Segments Highlights:

Technology Insights

In 2022, the tandem mass spectrometry segment dominated the market for newborn screening with 24.5% of the revenue share, owing to its cost-effectiveness, higher applicability, and technological upgrades. The tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) segment is also likely to expand at a substantial CAGR due to its high efficiency in diagnosing an array of conditions in a single procedure. Furthermore, the development of market players with respect to new products is also expected to accelerate segment growth by 2030. For instance, in April 2023, Waters Corporation announced the launch of its new Xevo TQ Absolute IVD Mass Spectrometer for clinical applications.

Test Type Insights

Dry blood spot tests dominated the overall newborn screening market, accounting for over 45.9% of the revenue share in 2022. Moreover, the segment is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The DBS test is used for the detection of over 50 conditions that are associated with newborn screening. The growing number of initiatives by government authorities are also projected to accelerate segment growth during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, the U.K.-based Oxford University announced the launch of its first pilot study for the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy.

Product Insights

The instruments segment held the dominant share of 75.91% in the market for newborn screening in 2022 and is expected to advance at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The growing number of newborn screening procedures, rising awareness about early disease detection, and increasing investments for newborn screening are estimated to drive the instrument segment during the forecast period. In March 2023, GC Labs announced the launch of its new test for diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) amongst newborns with the incorporation of improved disease detection methods.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share in the market for newborn screening in 2022, accounting for around 32.90% of the revenue share. Factors such as improving infrastructure and healthcare plans and the availability of new opportunities for expansion are expected to play a major role in driving industry demand over the forecast period. Moreover, owing to the high population density, higher birth rate, and soaring prevalence of congenital diseases, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for newborn screening techniques.
