According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research, "Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Market (MaterniT21 PLUS, verifi, Harmony, Panorama, NIFTY, PrenaTest and BambniTest) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" the global NIPT market was valued at USD 0.22 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.6% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 3.62 billion in 2019.

The market for non-invasive prenatal testing is evolving rapidly due the advantages it offers over the conventional prenatal screening and diagnostic methods such as maternal serum screening, nuchal translucency (NT) scan, amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). These advantages include safety, accuracy, and no risk of miscarriage. An NIPT is a non-invasive genetic screening test for the common chromosomal abnormalities (trisomy 21, trisomy 18, trisomy 13, monosomy X, etc.) observed in the fetuses of high risk pregnant women (above the age of 35 years). Owing to its ability to detect the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses of pregnant women as early as 9 to 10 weeks of gestation, the market for non-invasive prenatal testing market is witnessing a rapid increase in demand from all parts of the world.

MaterniT21 PLUS, verifi, Harmony, Panorama, NIFTY, PrenaTest and BambniTest are the commercially available NIPTs in the market which are based on the direct analysis of cell-free fetal DNA in the maternal blood. In 2012, MaterniT21 (a proprietary product of Sequenom, Inc.) accounted for the largest share (36.6%) of the global NIPT market in terms of revenue, owing to the fact that it was the first mover in the market place. During the forecast period 2013 to 2019, it is likely to lose some of its share due to increasing market penetration by other aforementioned NIPTs such as Panorama and verify.

High incidence rate of babies born with certain type of chromosomal abnormalities, growing trend of child bearing at advanced maternal age and enhanced popularity of NIPT among gynecologists and high risk pregnant women are some of the major factors anticipated to drive growth of the NIPT market during the forecast period. Some of the most commonly detected chromosomal aneuploidies include Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome and monosomy X. On the other hand, ethical and regulatory hurdles are expected to pose significant challenges before the NIPT market to grow. Various professional committees across the world believe that the implementation of NIPT and the subsequent rise in uptake of prenatal testing is likely to increase the incidence of abortions. Therefore, professional groups such as The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis and The Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology have set up guidelines that limit the use of non-invasive prenatal testing only to pregnant women at high risk of chromosomal aneuploidies.

Geographically, North America was the largest regional market in 2012 with a market share of 64.5% of the total revenue generated globally, followed by Europe. Almost every company operating in this market is adopting the same business model of marketing their tests via alliances with hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and physician offices. The increasing penetration by test developers in European, Asia-Pacific and Middle-East countries indicates promising growth in the near future in these markets. Sequenom, Inc., Verinata Health, Inc. (now a part of Illumina, Inc.), Ariosa Diagnostics, Natera, Inc., BGI Health, LifeCodexx and Berry Genomics are the companies engaged in providing non-invasive prenatal tests worldwide.

Wearable Medical Devices Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

f:id:tmrreport:20140219205222j:plain

Devices Market (Heart Rate Monitors, Activity Monitors, ECG, Pulse Oximeters, EEG, EMG, Glucose/Insulin Management, Pain Management, Wearable Respiratory Therapy) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" The global market for wearable medical devices was valued at USD 2.0 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach a value of USD 5.8 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2013 to 2019.

Wearable medical devices market defined in the strictest sense are devices with sensors attached to the body that detect and monitor changes in body signatures of various areas and organs. This report focuses on the various segments of wearable devices currently available in the market and also predicts the introduction of several innovative devices in the future. Healthcare segment forms a major part of the wearable technology market since the innovation of several applications in this area in the last two decades.

The meek wrist watch that was used to monitor only heart rate in the last decade has today been transformed into a powerful gadget that can today store vast quantities of data on patient information such as SPO2, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and water content in the body among several other intelligent diagnostic parameters. Smart phones have made an extremely impressive expansion in terms of applications and can now perform actual diagnostic tests such as the Apple iPhone Glucose test.

The market is highly dynamic and trendy in nature with a heavy importance given to aesthetics and ergonomics of devices. Over 65% of technologies are wrist held devices shaped like watches and the rest include wearability on other areas of the body such as arms, torso and waist. Along with the aesthetics several other features for durability of the device are included such as to make them waterproof and weatherproof. The latest in developments in telecommunication, wireless connectivity and user interface has been applied to these devices to make them more user friendly and keep them easy to interpret even by normal people in order to map their improvement in performance.

In 2013, Google Inc. introduced the Google Glass, a wearable eyewear that is highly dynamic and has varied applications throughout all industries. The success of the device at a consumer level is yet to be decided, but the technology has proven to be a boon to hospitals and the medical community for telemedicine and teleradiology. Philips has already launched an ambitious project to equip hospitals with the tech along with its proprietary hospital apps and devices in order to gain a better coverage and increase use of its devices. The device can connect into Philips Intellivue Solutions to quickly transfer crucial information of patient vital signs into the glass where it can be stored inside a 16 GB drive for multiple use, transfer it to another doctor, share it over several continents with a specialized medical expert.

The market is expected to remain in strong growth phase as purchase power expands for people in emerging countries of Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. North America remains in lead for 2012 with a market share of 44%. In terms of competition, the market is highly fragmented and there is no clear leader in terms of revenue considering the whole market. Some of the major market players in the global medical sensors market include Nike, Fitbit, Jawbone, Phyode, Basis Science, Corventis, LifeWatch, Intelesens, Philips, Omron, Zephyr Technology Corporation, Polar Electro, Withings, Sotera Wireless and many more companies each with their own innovative technologies. All in all, this report mentions over 100 companies with a brief emphasis on their technologies.
