The diagnosis of a faulty chromosome in a carrier who acquired one abnormal gene from one of its parents is called carrier screening. According to BlueQuark the Global Carrier Screening Market is expected to grow considerably during the forecasted period. Factors such as the rising emphasis on early disease detection and prevention and the increasing application of screening tests in genetic disorders are expected to drive the Carrier Screening Market in the forecasted period. Further, growth & innovations in the diagnostic and biotechnology industry for adopting carrier screening technology owing to a massive pool of genetic disease incidences are expected to drive the Carrier Screening Market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, a rise in consumer awareness related to preventive healthcare of newborns is expected to drive the Carrier Screening Market in the forecasted period. However, the stringent regulations for the approval of carrier screening tests and ethical concerns about carrier screening among the population need to improve the market growth. Moreover, implementation barriers like lack of standardization among different laboratories, pre-and post-test follow-up management, and provider misperceptions are anticipated to hamper the development of the Carrier Screening market in the forecasted period.

The surged emphasis on early illness identification and prevention, the high danger of chromosomal abnormalities, and technological developments in carrier screening, such as the introduction of extended carrier screening panels, contribute to the market's growth. The increasing awareness of carrier screening is projected to open up many new growth prospects for the industry. The decrease in the cost of sequencing, the growing emphasis on primary detection and prevention of complex genetic abnormalities, and the increasing maternal age leading to pregnancy problems are projected to fuel the expansion of the carrier screening market. However, significant barriers to market growth exist, including regulatory issues in carrier screening and a need for high-complexity testing centres. Carrier screening is a hereditary test determining whether a person possesses a gene that causes certain genetic illnesses. It is done before or during pregnancy. Carrier screening determines the likelihood of having a kid with a genetic disease. Carrier screening analyzes blood, saliva, or tissue collected within the body. The earlier a condition is detected, the more likely it will be controlled successfully. Early treatment of the disease may also make it simpler to live with it. Early disease defection allows people to plan while they can still make vital health and support decisions and financial and legal considerations. Enhanced genetic diseases include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, and Tay-Sachs disease. Carrier testing for such disorders can advise about the probability of delivering a kid with a genetic problem. Identifying the neck before the onset of symptoms is called predictive/presymptomatic testing. Many genetic diseases are diagnosed early in pregnancy. As a result, customer demand for safe and effective carrier tests is increasing the market growth.

North America is dominating the market during the forecasted period, followed by Europe owing to growth, which can be accredited to several factors, such as well-established healthcare systems in the US and Canada, broad access to advanced screening techniques, and recommendations for carrier screening.

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow in the region due to the high and increasing demand for the early diagnosis of genetic disorders among the population, the availability of mass genetic testing programs, rising awareness campaigns, and the high incidence of chromosomal disorders. Carrier screening is a genetic test that can tell if the person carries a gene for certain genetic disorders. It allows us to find out the chances of having a child with a genetic disorder if it is done before or during pregnancy. Carrier screening involves testing a sample of saliva, blood, or tissue from the inside of the cheek. Test results can be harmful, which means not to have the gene, or positive, which means to have the gene. Typically, the partner most likely to be a carrier is tested first. No additional testing is required if test consequences show that the first partner is not a carrier. If test outcomes show that the first partner is a carrier, the other partner is tested. A molecular screening test recognizes DNA mutations, which are differential in the genetic code that leads to reduced production of enzymes. Its attention to the mutations seen in one ethnic group. It includes a stepwise testing process for common alleles and, if needed, extensive gene analysis. Sequencing is a method of molecular screening proficient by reading across the DNA code of a particular gene to know if there are mutations. If the test results are negative, it decreases the chances that the individual is a carrier. However, the possibility of having a carrier gene still needs to be erased since the mutation might still demand to be discovered through the current technology. In line with this, molecular screening tests are widely conducted to identify DNA mutations in the genetic codes and detect the mutations that can cause heart defects, pre-leukemia, hearing defects, and Down syndrome. Carrier screening also provides adequate prenatal and reproductive care, facilitating the proper management of heritable diseases. Additionally, various technological advancements favour market growth, such as developing next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques for genetic disease screening. Other factors, including extensive research and development activities in biotechnology and bioinformatics and a significant medical infrastructure increase, are expected to drive the market toward growth.

The market key players are Quest Diagnostics Inc., InVitae Corporation, Opko Health Inc., Eurofins Scientific, and Fulgent Genetics Inc.

In February 2023, Fuligent Genetics, Inc. Launched its expanded carrier screening panel, New Beacon787. This panel includes THT genes related to autosomal recessive and X-linked conditions. Such developments will boost the company's revenue-generating prospects and improve its business presence.
