Preimplantation Genetic Testing Market

Global Preimplantation Genetic Testing Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global preimplantation genetic testing market was worth US$ 553 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 1,546 million by 2032 from US$ 620 million in 2024, and it is predicted to register a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period 2024-2032.

Preimplantation genetic detection is a method that examines the embryos created using the process of in vitro fertilization. This facilitates the implantation of only selected fit embryos into the uterus, ensuring a healthy baby is delivered. This prevents the carrying of genetic disorders into the family generations. A screening process does the testing wherein the healthy ones are frozen and stored. Due to the hectic, sedentary, and non-active modern life, many couples face difficulties conceiving naturally. The increasing pollution and chemicals in farming and animal husbandry sectors have greatly exacerbated infertility in the millennial generation. Some couples might also have genetic diseases they might not wish to be passed down to their offspring. In these cases, embryos fertilized in vitro have the option of being examined to see if they contain any harmful genetic matter or any disease that either of the parents has. This advancement in science has allowed many couples to have children who might have otherwise not tried.

MARKET DRIVERS

The global preimplantation genetic testing market is primarily driven by the rise in infertility rate in individuals, lifestyle changes, PCOD syndrome in women, hereditary genetic disorders in the couple, advancements in genetics, therapies to resolve chromosomal anomalies and an increase in fertilization treatment centers.

These are the drivers that are propelling the growth of the preimplantation genetic testing market. Apart from all these, the scientific advancements in developing countries and lifestyle changes, especially in women's lives, are making them exposed to hormonal changes. These aspects are propelling the market for further expansion.

There is a plethora of opportunities for the market to expand as the prevalence of infertility in almost all women and genetic disorders due to chemically processed food consumption. Due to this, there is a need for preimplantation genetic therapy, and it will reduce the exposure to genetic disorders and other defects in the embryo and helps in delivering a healthy baby. Hence, preimplantation genetic testing provides ample scope for pre-decided genetically modified babies. This is an opportunity of using preimplantation genetic testing. This triggers the market in a very optimistic way.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High costs associated with preimplantation genetic testing are one of the major factors hampering the market growth. The healthcare costs of preimplantation genetic testing have no covered by insurance in some countries and the adoption of this testing is poor in such countries, which is diluting the growth rate of the overall market. The ethical concerns surrounding the use of PGT, such as the selection of embryos based on their genetic makeup is another notable factor hindering the market growth. The limited availability of PGT in some countries further impedes market growth. The scarcity of professionals with specialized expertise to handle PGT, accuracy issues and the invasive nature of PGT further inhibit the market’s growth rate.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global preimplantation genetic testing market

The pandemic has created great havoc on the economy in every aspect. The healthcare sector had burdened to a large extent, and the sector's potential has been squeezed off. There is a huge supply chain and value chain disruption in the world. The pandemic has affected the livelihood and health of people. In this scenario, there is research finding that the fertility rate has increased. Still, when discussing the preimplantation genetic testing market, many people who have the disorders are reluctant to visit the clinics and therapeutic centers due to the stigma associated with the covid-19, and this has created sluggish market growth these times. But the other kind of preimplantation utilities like consumable and software services had witnessed a healthy growth rate.
