Report Outlook
The global dried blood spot collection cards market was valued at USD 262.8 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. Dried blood spot testing (DBS) is a minimally invasive blood sample gathering procedure on specifically designed filter paper. These DBS samples could be easily shipped to any lab to detect any hereditary, rare disease, or blood-related disorder.
The key factors responsible for the market growth of dried blood spot collection cards include compulsory newborn screening programs in developed economies, innovations in the diagnosis time and effectiveness, and the rising prevalence of hereditary disorders across the globe. In November 2019, the Virginia Department of General Services tested 7,868 infants for approximately 31 genetic and metabolic disorders. As per the estimates of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than 30 million people in the U.S. are suffering from around 7,000 hereditary diseases which are driving the demand for dried blood spot collection cards.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The dried blood spot collection method is vital in newborn screening to diagnose congenital diseases in infants. For instance, in November 2018, the state government of Pennsylvania introduced newborn screening (NBS) programs for the mandatory tests of serious hereditary disorders such as maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), adrenal hyperplasia, Pompe’s disease, X-linked Adreno-leukodystrophy, galactosemia, and mucopolysaccharidosis type 1.
The usage of DBS for the serological diagnosis of infectious and autoimmune diseases also driving the market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2018, there were around 37.9 million people diagnosed with HIV. In the same year, around 770,000 people were died from HIV, across the globe.

Moreover, the use of DBS offers early and effective diagnosis, facilitating easy gathering and storage of samples and it is highly effective in plasma-based testing in low resource laboratory settings. Several counties in the U.S. have implemented DBS HIV testing, for instance, New South Wales (NSW) health ministry, in 2016, introduced DBS based HIV testing project, to improve penetration of HIV testing. This project aimed to eliminate HIV, by 2022, with increased adoption of DBS based diagnosis techniques.

Geographic Overview
North American dried blood spot collection cards industry accounted for the largest market share and is likely to maintain its dominance over the market study period. This high share is due to compulsory newborn screening (NBS) in both the U.S. and Canada. As per the statistics published by the National Institute of Children’s Health Quality, in 2016, NBS was performed in more than 4 million newborns in the U.S. alone, with a participation rate of higher than 99.99 percent. Center for Disease and Control (CDC) reported that each year around 12,500 infants were diagnosed with at least one chronic hereditary disease.
Moreover, several collaborations are being taken by the U.S. government to speed up newborn screenings. For instance, in 2016, the National Institute for Children's Health Quality developed the NewSTEPs 360 program, which undertook initiatives to improve testing in 20 states of the U.S. in collaboration with the Association of Public Health Laboratories and the Colorado School of Public Health. The project received funding of USD 5.4 million from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
The growth in the European dried blood spot collection cards industry is expected to increase with rising cases of hepatitis B in the market. According to the Center for Disease, Prevention, and Control, in 2017, there were around 26,907 individuals diagnosed with the concerned disease, with a prevalence rate of 6.7 cases per 100,000. DBS is considered an important tool in the diagnosis of hepatitis B, as compared to conventional collection methods and it is easier to transport samples. Thus, a rise in hepatitis B cases will enable higher adoption of DBS driving the market demand for dried blood spot collection cards industry.
