The extensively growing prevalence of congenital diseases in newborns is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth for newborn screening. According to data published by the WHO in February 2023, an estimated 240,000 newborns die within 28 days of birth each year globally due to congenital diseases. Congenital disorders are further responsible for an estimated 170,000 child deaths aged between 1 month and 5 years. In addition, according to information from Indian Pediatrics, congenital hypothyroidism occurs in 2.1 out of every 1,000 infants in India, and the prevalence of inborn metabolic abnormalities ranges from 2-7.8%. Such substantial occurrence of congenital diseases amongst newborns is likely to increase the adoption of tests, which will eventually accelerate market growth by 2030.

In addition, the introduction of government programs and legislation is also expected to offer a favorable environment for the newborn screening industry growth. For instance, in June 2022, the government of Manitoba announced the expansion of its newborn screening program with an aim to extend screening for spinal muscular atrophy along with other diseases. A majority of the nations have statutes for newborn screening, wherein funding for the program, various conditions requiring screening, and exemptions are clearly stated. For instance, the Manitoba government increased its budget by USD 4.2 million to deal with the additional workload of diagnosis.

The demand for newborn screening procedures is expected to be influenced by the introduction of new technologies and availability of treatment options enabling the diagnosis of about 29 possible disorders, including galactosemia (GS), phenylketonuria (PKU), hearing disorders, and congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in neonates. In March 2023, a group of scientists at the Division of Laboratory Sciences, CDC, announced the introduction of improved tests that offer advanced technology for the diagnosis of genetic diseases.
