The major factors driving the growth of this market include the growing preference for non-invasive techniques over invasive methods, rising focus on reimbursement for NIPT, launch of new and advanced NIPT products, and increasing maternal age (associated with growth in the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in babies). Furthermore, untapped emerging markets are expected to offer potential growth opportunities to players operating in the NIPT market during the forecast period.

In this report, the gas chromatography market is segmented on the basis of instruments, accessories and consumables, end users, and regions. The instruments market is segmented into systems, detectors, auto-samplers, and fraction collectors. The systems segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can primarily be attributed to factors such as increased capability to analyze complex compounds and technological advancements.

The global NIPT market is expected to reach USD 2.88 Billion by 2021 from USD 1.35 Billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period.

The major players in this market include Agilent Technologies (U.S.), Bruker Corp. (U.S.), Danaher Corp. (U.S.), New England Biolabs (U.S.), Prozyme Inc. (U.S.), Shimadzu Corp. (Japan), Sigma-Aldrich Corp. (U.S.), Takara Bio (Japan), Thermo Fisher Scientific (U.S.), and Waters Corp. (U.S.).

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is one of the top players in the market. The company operates in more than 180 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It offers HCS instruments and software among other products. The company focuses on product launches as its key business strategy. In May 2016, the company launched the Invitrogen Evos FL Auto 2 Imaging System to provide rapid capture and analysis of higher-quality images in live-cell imaging experiments. In addition, in January 2016, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Cell Insight CX7 high-content analysis platform. This strengthened the company’s hold in the HCS market.

The factors expected to drive the growth of the market are growth in funding for cellular research, cost containment in pharma R&D, and technological advancements in HCS solutions. The rapid growth in developing countries across APAC is also expected to provide an opportunity for revenue generation in the market. However, the high cost of HCS instruments and the dearth of knowledgeable and skilled personnel for the operation of the instruments are expected to restrain the market growth.
