The global Preterm Birth and PROM Testing market size is expected to be worth around US$ 5.3 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Preterm Birth and PROM Testing market size was valued at US$ 5.1 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

Rising incidence of preterm births, increasing geographical reach by market players, high demand for effective diagnosis of preterm births, and advanced drug delivery devices are expected to drive the market.

These issues risk the health of both mother and unborn child and often result in preterm births or neonatal deaths. Even though traditional methods such as Nitrazine and Ferning test make it possible to obtain a negative predictive value (NPV), they have extremely poor positive predictive values for spontaneous deliver. The approval of PartaSure (Parsagen Diagnostics, Inc. and Qiagen) in April 2018 and other improved diagnostic test kits has introduced a highly efficacious yet cost-effective options for PROM testing in symptomatic patients.

Report Highlights

Conventional methods of preterm birth testing include sterile speculum examination (pooling), pelvic examination, blood test, ultrasound, and fetal fibronectin (fFN) test. To diagnose preterm labor, doctors review symptoms such as pelvic pressure, vaginal spotting or bleeding, cramps or regular contractions, vaginal discharge, and fluid leakage. A pelvic exam is performed multiple times over a few hours to monitor contractions and detect changes in the cervix. Pelvic examination is the first-line exam conducted by doctors to measure the changes in the cervix. The segment is expected to contribute approximately USD 200.0 Million in sales to the global preterm birth and PROM testing market in 2025.

PROM testing methods include nitrazine and ferning test, ultrasound, biomarker tests such as Placental alpha microglobulin-1 (PAMG-1), Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1), and Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) test. Traditional methods such as nitrazine and ferning tests are rapidly being replaced by improved biochemical marker detection kits. Clinical studies suggest that PAMG-1 based tests provide improved diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity compared to traditional tests for the detection of premature rupture of membranes. This key factor is poised to contribute to growth in the segment’s sales in 2025.

Geographically, the market is segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. North America dominated the market in 2020. Rising incidence of premature births, poor lifestyle choices, and increasing maternal age are driving the market in this region.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 2.8% during the forecast period. Key factors attributable to the growth of the region include a high prevalence of premature births, a rise in awareness regarding maternal health, an increase in healthcare spending, and supportive government initiatives in developing economies.
