Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is also known as noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS). It is a procedure used to determine the chromosomal abnormalities or disorders of the fetus which generally occur due to missing or an extra copy (aneuploidy) of a chromosome. NIPT examines small DNA fragments which are circulating in the blood of pregnant woman. These small fragments are freely floating and hence are called cell-free DNA. NIPT is carried out for the detection of trisomy 18, trisomy 13, Down syndrome, and missing or extra copies of X and Y chromosomes. NIPT is found to be useful during the COVID-19 pandemic situation to avoid the risk of infection. The potential to isolate fetal DNA and fetal cells from maternal blood during pregnancy has revealed exciting opportunities for upgraded noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

Market Dynamics

The strong focus of key players on entering the North African market, and increasing awareness about the adoption of non-invasive prenatal testing are the major factors that are expected to drive the growth of North Africa non-invasive prenatal testing market over the forecast period.

For instance, according to the data published by National Library of Medicine in May 2020, twenty five studies in 9 sub-Saharan African countries manifested that the prevalence of birth defects was 20.40 per 1,000 births.

Moreover, in March 2019, Yourgene Health Plc, an international molecular diagnostics group, arranged an event in Egypt to increase the awareness of IONA test, a non-invasive prenatal DNA test performed for Down syndrome.
