This will create opportunities for the expansion of the market size over the forecast period.

What Barriers Can Affect the Growth of the Global New-Born Metabolic Screening Market?

“Challenges in under developing countries due to lack of infrastructure improvements”

Lack of infrastructure improvements in the healthcare sector and a shortage of professionals with the appropriate training are the main factors impeding the growth of the global market.

For instance, new-born screening needs additional research and education because it is still not extensively used in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia Pacific region includes developing nations with large populations and few qualified professionals. High populations, low and intermediate income levels and poor healthcare are hampering the improvement of the healthcare system in underdeveloped countries.

Furthermore, the market for new-born screening is anticipated to be constrained during the forecast period by a lack of uniformity in new-born screening policies and processes around the globe and a high rate of false positive and false negative test results. The decision-making process of healthcare practitioners is hampered by a dearth of information on the long-term effects of new disorders and a scarcity of follow-up data for screening conditions.

Additionally, the accessibility of refurbished goods such as automatic immunoassay systems and automated manual equipment is anticipated to limit this market's growth to some amount over the projected year.

A significant barrier to market growth is the high cost of automation innovation coupled with the strong competition provided by small players. Due to all these factors, under-developing countries are lacking behind in new-born metabolic screening.

Why is the U.S. New-Born Metabolic Screening Market Booming?

“Increasing awareness in the U.S.”

The U.S. accounted for around 83.0% market share in the North American market in 2022, and expected over the forecast period.

American programs for new-born metabolic screening are well established. The U.S. government necessitates metabolic tests for cystic fibrosis, phenylketonuria (PKU) and toxoplasmosis.

According to the CDC, millions of babies are routinely evaluated in the U.S. each year for specific metabolic problems using heel-prick blood samples. Additionally, the United States has drastically modified its metabolic screening tests and has a strong awareness of new-born metabolic issues.

For instance, according to the March of Dimes (MoD) report from 2021, every baby in the U.S. gets new-born screening before leaving the hospital, and the country screens about 4 million new-borns each year.

Will the India be a Lucrative New-Born Metabolic Screening Market?

“Implementing the new-born metabolic screening program”

The India held around 84.6% market share of the South Asia market in 2022 and market value is US$ 27.5 Mn in 2022.

One of the major obstacles to creating a sustained national newborn screening program is the absence of public health screening facilities in countries like India.

Additionally, parents' ignorance of screening programs and metabolic disorders hinders the market from growth developing. Screening initiatives require ongoing follow-ups with the impacted neonates.

The adoption rate of this screening is low among parents due to less awareness about metabolic screening. Due to all these factors, a new-born metabolic screening program is required in India. A low-cost model for conducting the program has been proposed within the country via public-private partnerships. The process was initially started by major hospitals in metropolitan cities, especially paediatric hospitals.

Furthermore, the Indian Council of Medical Research has taken the initiative, organized a task group, and sponsored a multicentre investigation to investigate the viability of new-born screening for CH (congenital hypothyroidism) and CAH (congenital adrenal hyperplasia).
