New-Born Screening Market Trends

• Rising cases of diseases among newborns are driving the market growth

Market CAGR for new-born screening is being driven by the rise in the number of infant diseases. The newborn screening market is anticipated to be largely affected by growing neonatal population percentage, a rise in the spread of congenital illnesses in newborns, favorable government policies and laws, and technical improvements.

One of the main market drivers is the increase in the number of newborns. The world population meter estimates that approximately 88 billion births—or around 250 births per minute—were reported in 2015. Of them, more than 2.8 million babies passed away during first month due to inadequate screening and medical care. Organizations like the WHO, Healthy Newborn Network, and others. are working to inform parents about potential problems and associated testing methods in an effort to stop this number from rising. Additionally, North American organizations mandated the complete screening of all infants delivered in private-sector hospitals.

Government policies and programs also help to develop a favorable climate for market expansion. The WHO recommends the newborn screening program to protect children's health worldwide. The Secretary's Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (JSOG), the United Kingdom (PEACH), and advocacy organizations like the March of Dimes have all taken various policies and initiatives under this program. Thus, driving the New-Born Screening Market revenue.
