Wednesday 12 September 2012, Amsterdam

According to the new research report, Natera is amongst the most promising new entrants in the NIPD market and is expected to capture a significant market share amongst its other competitors by 2016. The Company is currently validating its NIPD test and its clinical studies are expected to be completed by December 2012. It is expected to launch its NIPD test in the early months of 2013, thereby adding a newer innovation to the existing portfolio of non-invasive tests and also creating an immediate threat to existing players, such as Verinata and Ariosa Diagnostics.

The NIPD sector evolved on account of the need for safer detection of chromosomal abnormalities. In the US especially, the NIPD sector is expected to evolve particularly due to the limitations posed by the invasive diagnostic technologies, such as CVS and amniocentesis and a high demand.
