by Non-invasive prenatal testing allows the detection of fetal DNA fragments circulating in maternal blood, eliminating the risks associated with invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. This technology analyzes cell-free DNA from a simple maternal blood draw to screen for conditions such as Down syndrome, trisomy 13 and 18, sex chromosome aneuploidies, and other genetic abnormalities. Non-invasive prenatal testing offers several advantages over traditional screening methods by providing early and safe detection with a high sensitivity and specificity at 10 weeks of gestation or later. The growing demand for advanced screening technologies during pregnancy to facilitate informed reproductive choices is a major factor fueling the adoption of non-invasive prenatal testing in North Africa.
The North Africa Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3805.83 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increasing awareness regarding non-invasive prenatal testing through various social media campaigns and physician recommendations has led to its higher adoption across North Africa in recent years. Healthcare providers in the region are promoting non-invasive prenatal testing as the standard of care for enhanced prenatal screening. Various North African countries are developing national policies and guidelines to increase public access to these advanced screening procedures to reduce complications arising from genetic disorders. These initiatives are expected to further drive the demand for non-invasive prenatal testing during the forecast period.
