LONDON – The US newborn screening market is poised to witness a number of developments in the years to come. 93% of the newborn babies are screened for different diseases under the newborn screening test in the country. The US government is taking various steps to make improvements to the quality and effectiveness of these tests. Moreover, the governments of different states are also involved in expanding the tests’ panel.

Blood spot (heel prick) testing is the most extensively performed newborn screening test, with hearing screening and a screening for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in newborns, respectively, following after. The technologies utilised for these tests comprise tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), pulse oximetry monitoring, immunoassays, electrophoresis and DNA assays. Immunoassay is the most popular technology used owing to the fact that it is included into primary screening tests for newborn babies. Therefore, these tests are anticipated to constantly enjoy increased demand.

The market growth is being fuelled by a number of factors like government funding, surging awareness owing to government incentives, technology advances, and a hike in genetic disorders. Meantime, dearth of consistent regulatory policies in the USA, delays in hospital administration and lack of hospital infrastructure are key challenges to the market.

Some of the prominent players operating in market comprise Perkin Elmer, Natus Medical, Waters Corporation and Agilent Technologies Inc.
