The global Pregnancy testing market is estimated at USD 1.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Pregnancy tests indicate pregnancy by trying to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in a woman’s uterus after implantation of the embryo. There are two kinds of tests,  blood tests that are conducted at medical facilities, and urine tests that may be taken at home, using self-testing kits that are now easily accessible. Serum tests are more sensitive, can detect pregnancy earlier, and give a quantitative estimation of hCG. Still, urine tests are rapid and highly sensitive, with greater than 99% specificity if done at the right time, generally, for a missed menstrual cycle.

What are the Top Factors Driving Growth in the Pregnancy Testing Market?

Raising Conscience Regarding Early Pregnancy Detection

Women are getting to understand the importance of conception testing as and when there is enhanced information on reproduction. According to a survey, 60% of the females agree with the practice of self-testing during the initial one or two weeks that follow a usually regular missed period. This ensures that pregnant women receive care early enough because early prenatal care is important for the mother as well as the baby. The media, Internet sources, and healthcare campaigns have all been instrumental in creating awareness of this disease and insisting on early testing for women. When these treatments are promptly administered, early diagnosis is said to reduce both maternal and infant mortality by up to 30% says the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG).

In addition, there is evidence that early pregnancy confirmation leads to better high-risk pregnancy management, which may also reduce complications with proper attention.

Any change in the existing products prevailing in the market might require reanalysis and the current regulations were already complex enough. In the meantime, manufacturers often sacrifice a great portion of their funds from research and development to regulate matters.
