妊娠検査薬は、ヒト絨毛性ゴナドトロピン(HCG)と呼ばれる特別なホルモンを調べます。妊娠検査薬は、ヒト絨毛性ゴナドトロピン(HCG)を検出することによって機能します。血液中のHCG濃度は、妊娠初期には2~3日ごとに倍増し、妊娠が進行していることを示します。したがって、HCGが一定レベル以上あれば妊娠していることになります。
妊娠検査には大きく分けて尿検査と血液検査の2種類があります。血液検査は高価で、尿検査と同じ結果になりやすいため、ほとんど行われていません。血液検査は、妊娠ホルモンが体内にあるかどうかを検出するだけでなく、ホルモンの量も調べることができます。
技術の進歩と新製品のイントロダクションの増加は、市場の成長を高めると予想されます。自己妊娠検査に対する需要の増加が市場成長を高めると予想されます。
例えば、2022年8月9日、オーストラリアの新興企業Hoopsy社は、毎年何百万個もの使い捨てプラスチック製妊娠検査薬が埋立地に廃棄されるのを阻止する目的で、99%紙でできたリサイクル可能な妊娠検査薬を開発しました。
2023年2月7日、高品質で効果的な迅速検査を製造・販売するAbingdon Health plc社は、英国とアイルランドで初の唾液ベースの妊娠検査薬Salistickを発売するため、Salignostics社と新たな販売契約を締結しました。このように、様々な製品発売の増加が市場の成長を促進すると予想されます。
認識不足と不正確な結果が市場の妨げとなっています。ほとんどの検査キットは99%の精度を謳っています。しかし、精度は主にブランドや不適切な使用方法などの要因に左右されるため、誤った結果が出る可能性があります。
Pregnancy tests look for a special hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) which is developed in a person's body during pregnancy. Pregnancy tests work by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). The level of HCG in the blood doubles every 2 to 3 days during the first days of pregnancy, which indicates that the pregnancy is progressing. Thus, the presence of HCG above a certain level indicates pregnancy.
There are two main types of pregnancy tests, urine tests and blood tests. Blood tests are rarely done because they're expensive and tend to have the same result as a urine test. Blood test not only detects whether the pregnancy hormone is in the body, but can also determine how much of the hormone is present.
The increase in technological advancements and the introduction of new products is expected to raise the market growth. The increase in the demand for self-pregnancy testing is expected to increase the market growth.
For instance, on August 9, 2022, Australian start-up Hoopsy created a recyclable pregnancy test that is 99 percent made out of paper, aiming to stop millions of single-use plastic versions ending up in landfill each year.
On February 7, 2023, Abingdon Health plc, manufacturer and distributor of high-quality and effective rapid tests, signed a new distribution agreement with Salignostics for the launch of Salistick the first saliva-based pregnancy test in the UK and Ireland. Thus, an increase in a variety of product launches is expected to drive the market growth.
Lack of awareness, and inaccurate results are hampering the market. Most of the test kits claim that they are 99% accurate. However, there is a possibility of false results, as the accuracy mainly depends on factors like the brand and improper usage.
The global pregnancy testing market is segmented based on product type, test type, distribution channel, and region.

Continuous technological advancement in pregnancy test kits is a major factor expected to drive the market's growth. The demand for pregnancy test kits is increasing substantially owing to increasing incidences of unplanned pregnancies globally, driving the global pregnancy testing market.

Additionally, on April 14, 2022, Mankind Pharma's pregnancy test kit brand launched a new and advanced pregnancy detection test kit for the Indian market. With this launch, it strived to continually provide advanced testing solutions for confirming the pregnancy. Thus, an increase in the number of product launches is expected to raise the segment growth.
