The global dried blood spot collection cards market size is expected to reach USD 337.3 million by the year 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Key drivers of the market include an increase in the use of dried blood spot (DBS) cards in newborn screening and for serological diagnostics of infectious and autoimmune diseases, among other applications. The use of DBS cards in newborn screening is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period. According to NIH, it is estimated that around 4 million infants were screened in the U.S. in 2017. Additionally, data from the CDC indicates that about 12,500 infants were diagnosed with congenital diseases that were detected through newborn screening tests. This states that almost 1 out of every 300 infants screened were eventually diagnosed with one of the congenital diseases. Therefore, increasing awareness has facilitated a rise in demand for DBS cards for the detection of congenital diseases in infants which is anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. The usage of DBS for serological diagnostics of infectious or autoimmune diseases is also anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. DBS offers a cost-effective solution for diagnosis of infectious diseases as these collection cards can be easily collected, transported and preserved in settings with minimal infrastructural facilities. Global health settings, especially in the rural areas, lack the necessary infrastructure for quality assured venipuncture sparks significant interest in the usage of DBS cards for diagnosis of infectious or autoimmune diseases. Various initiatives and strategic collaborations are expected to further drive dried blood spot collection cardsmarket growth. For instance, in February 2019, Health PEI announced the launch of its first blood spot testing clinic for hepatitis C and HIV. In the recent past, Health PEI partnered with PEERS Alliance in order to offer new hepatitis C clinics. Also, in July 2017, AIDS PEI announced the launch of free hepatitis C tests on World Hepatitis Day. Public Health England offers a national dried blood spot testing service for newborns born to hepatitis B-positive mothers. This service provided by PHE is free and has been specially designed to improve the coverage of follow up testing for newborns of hepatitis B positive mothers. Similarly, in October 2019, World Anti-Doping Agency signed an agreement with 7 anti-doping agencies that include the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to explore the viability of DBS testing as part of its anti-doping tool kit. The objective of this project was to develop guidelines for the transport, collection, storage, and analysis of DBS. This method will be implemented at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. The usage of DBS in these settings offer several advantages such as; the presence of a phlebotomist to administer the test and the samples do not require a temperature-controlled environment. These are less invasive and are simpler than intravenous blood testing. Thus, the rise in government initiatives to enhance the usage of DBS is witnessed to propel market growth during the forecast period.   Access Insightful Study with over 100+ pages, list of tables & figures, profiling 20+ companies. Ask for Sample Copy Report @ https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/dried-blood-spot-collection-cards-market/request/rs1   In August 2017, PerkinElmer launched PerkinElmer Genetics' clinical genomics services. Whole exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing were offered in all their laboratories across India, U.S., and China. PerkinElmer’s genome lab testing platform offers diagnostic testing and screening, newborn screening using dried blood spot cards and generation sequencing of rare inherited diseases. Therefore, the increase in strategic initiatives undertaken by major market players is expected to increase the demand and usage of DBS cards for newborn screening during the forecast period. NBS is vital for the diagnosis of congenital diseases in infants. For instance, in November 2018, the Wolf Administration and the government of Pennsylvania emphasized on the importance of NBS programs, thus, establishing these tests as mandatory, since they provide early diagnosis of serious disorders such as phenylketonuria, sickle cell anemia, maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), congenital hypothyroidism, classic galactosemia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe Disease), classic galactosemia, mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 and X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy. An increase in the usage of DBS for serological diagnostics of infectious or autoimmune diseases is expected to fuel dried blood spot collection cards market growth. According to the WHO, it was estimated that around 37.9 million individuals were diagnosed with HIV globally in 2018. Additional data from the same source states that approximately 770,000 HIV related deaths were recorded globally in 2018. The use of DBS provides early & effective diagnosis, facilitates the easy collection, storage, and also proves to be a highly convenient alternative to plasma-based testing in settings with a limited laboratory capacity. Various nations have implemented the usage of dried blood spot testing for HIV, for instance, the New South Wales Ministry of Health in 2016 announced the launch of the DBS HIV Testing Project to improve access to HIV testing. The NSW HIV Strategy 2016-2020 aims at eliminating HIV by 2020 with the incorporation of DBS technology.   Risk of contamination, dependence on adequate sampling, the influence of spotted volume, and spot inhomogeneity imposes a complicated clinical validation and analytical procedure thus restraining market growth in the forecast period.
