[185 Pages Report] The Sickle Cell Anemia Testing & Screening Market size was estimated at USD 943.95 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1,070.69 million in 2024, at a CAGR 13.51% to reach USD 2,293.22 million by 2030.
Sickle cell anemia, known as sickle cell disease (SCD), is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in RBCs that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with sickle cell anemia have hemoglobin S, which can warp red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape. These sickled cells can cause chronic pain, serious infections, and other complications because they do not flow through blood vessels easily and can block blood flow to parts of the body. Increasing prevalence of sickle cell anemia across the globe driving the adoption of testing & screening solutions. In addition, expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies supports greater access to and adoption of testing and screening services. However, the high cost of genetic testing and limited reimbursement policies can impede market growth, particularly in low-income countries. Furthermore, innovations in molecular diagnostics and high-throughput screening methods are streamlining the testing process, increasing its accuracy, and reducing turnaround times.
Technology: Ongoing advancements hemoglobin electrophoresis for initial screening particularly in newborns
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a traditional testing technique widely used to identify different types of hemoglobin based on their electrical charge and size. This test aims to detect abnormal hemoglobin, which can indicate disorders, including sickle cell anemia. It’s preferred in cases where definitive diagnosis is required. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is a specialized form of electrophoresis that separates hemoglobin variants by their isoelectric point (pI), the pH at which a molecule carries no net charge. IEF is often used as a confirmatory test following initial screening with cellulose acetate or capillary electrophoresis. High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful analytical technique employed for the quantification and identification of various hemoglobins. HPLC is frequently used for sickle cell disease screening due to its accuracy and rapid turnaround time. Point-of-care tests (POCT) for sickle cell anemia are diagnostic tools designed for use at or near the point of patient care. They are prized for their convenience, speed, and the ability to enable early and easy detection in a variety of settings, including countries with limited resources. Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) are simple, portable devices invented to detect the presence of specific analytes such as proteins, pathogens, and molecular markers in a biological sample. Utilizing a test strip format, LFIAs create a visual representation of the presence and absence of sickle cell hemoglobin in a blood sample. Paper-based rapid diagnostics are an innovative approach to POC testing that leverages the absorbent nature of paper to conduct assays. These cost-effective and user-friendly tests require minimal sample volume and can be adeptly employed in areas lacking advanced laboratory infrastructure.
Sector: Corporate labs are at the forefront of innovation and technology to provide comprehensive services
Corporate labs often play a significant role in the development and provision of diagnostic tests, including those used for the detection of sickle cell anemia. These labs typically offer high-throughput testing capabilities and have substantial research and development resources. They are preferred by patients and healthcare providers who are seeking the latest and most comprehensive testing options. Government labs are usually funded and operated by national or regional government health departments. These labs are crucial for public health surveillance and disease prevention efforts, including newborn screening programs for sickle cell anemia. They focus on providing accessible and subsidized services to the population, particularly targeting high-risk communities. Private labs provide personalized testing services and often cater to a clientele seeking privacy and expedited results. These labs can range from small-scale local facilities to large, high-end operations. Their preference is based on the quality of customer service, faster turnaround times, and the ability to pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Public-private partnerships are collaborations that leverage the efficiency of the private sector and the accessibility of the public sector to enhance healthcare services. These partnerships can be particularly effective in regions where resources are limited and the burden of sickle cell anemia is high. PPPs can serve to expand screening programs and integrate care networks.
Regional Insights
In the American region, there is a high consumer need for accurate and early diagnosis, as well as routine screening. This is reflected in established newborn screening programs and initiatives such as the Sickle Cell Disease Newborn Screening Program by the CDC. Customer purchasing behavior in these regions is influenced by healthcare insurance policies and coverage for genetic testing. The awareness and screening for sickle cell anemia vary across EU countries. Countries in the European region, where the disease is more prevalent, have more robust screening programs. The European Hematology Association is one organization actively engaging in research. The EU consumer purchasing behavior for SCA testing is motivated by healthcare regulations and the availability of national health services. The sickle cell anemia testing and screening market in Africa is significant due to the high prevalence of the disease. There is a growing demand for affordable and available testing options for SCA. Sickle cell anemia is slightly prevalent in East Asian countries such as Japan and China, corresponding to India, where it remains a public health concern. In India, SCA screening is incorporated into broader health initiatives, particularly in tribal regions. Consumer needs in the Asia Pacific region vary, but there is increasing awareness about genetic diseases and the benefits of early testing.
