Reproductive health services account for more than half of revenue

Among them, non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT) to prevent neonatal defects is the most mature field of clinical application of gene sequencing.

BGI did not disclose its NIPT market share in the prospectus, but the backdoor announcements of its peers, Berry and Kang, can compare the situation of BGI. Berry and Kang, founded in 2010, also originated from BGI.

The NIPT industry report shows that my country’s NIPT market was basically monopolized by BGI and Berry and Kang in the early stage. In 2013, BGI and Berry and Kang accounted for 46%, and Berry and Kang accounted for 40%. Looking at the latest market share of BGI, Berry and Kang, BGI has declined significantly. The report said that in the field of genetic testing services for reproductive health, where the market is gradually stabilizing, competition among companies will become more intense.
