Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/16/2018 -- Newborn Screening Market: Overview
Newborns are more prone to infections, which may occur at any time from the first day of life. Newborn screening is a preventive pediatric screening test conducted to diagnose congenital or inborn abnormalities of metabolism in order to identify the disease. Newborn screening helps in the early detection of serious genetic diseases, which may result in disability or death if not treated at the initial stage. Newborn screening helps in the diagnosis of diseases and helps physicians start the treatment from the first week of life in order to reverse the prognosis. Early diagnosis and treatment result in significant reduction in associated disabilities, mortality, and morbidity. Newborn programs differs from country to country, depending on the prevalence of a disease condition among the people and legal requirements for newborn screening tests in a particular country.

The newborn screening market is driven by increase in the incidence of neonatal diseases, which leads to high demand for newborn screening tests. Growing government initiatives in creating awareness regarding neonatal hereditary diseases have further augmented the demand for newborn screening in the global market. Increase in funding from government organizations and technological advancements in tests are driving the global newborn screening market. However, stringent regulatory environment in certain countries, delays in hospitalization, and unavailability of technologically advanced instruments and tests in developing countries are major restraining factors for the global newborn screening market. Investment by the private sector in newborn screening programs in developing countries and partnerships of private investors with hospitals and diagnostic centers are projected to offer growth opportunities to the newborn screening market in developing countries with large population.
The global newborn screening market has been segmented based on test type, product, end-user, and region. In terms of test type, the market can be segmented into blood test, hearing test, critical congenital heart defect (CCHD), urine test, physical examination test, and others. The hearing test segment has been sub-segmented into auditory brainstem response (ABR) test and optoacoustic emissions (OAE) test. The physical examination test segment has been sub-divided into eye test, hip test, and testicle test. Based on product, the market has been segregated into instruments and assay kits. The instruments segment has been further divided into pulse oximeter, mass spectrometer, hearing screening devices, laparoscope, retinoscope, ultrasound machine, and others.
