Global Point of Care (PoC) Infectious Disease Testing Market - Overview

Pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi, cause infectious diseases. It may transfer from one person to another directly or inadvertently. Some of the typical signs and symptoms of infectious diseases include fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, and weariness. To find the pathogenic bacteria, numerous laboratory tests, imaging scans, and biopsies are performed. By shortening the time between testing and infection diagnosis, PoC assays for infectious diseases can enhance the identification and management of infectious diseases. PoC testing are now the most effective and efficient method of providing healthcare due to new developments in healthcare, such as healthcare at home.

Global Point of Care (PoC) Infectious Disease Testing Market - Industry Trends & Market Forecast

The global market for PoC infectious disease diagnostics will realize its growth potential because of the miniaturization of PoC testing equipment. Some market trends include the standardization of PoC testing equipment and the acquisition of small businesses. Use of nanotechnology in the diagnosis of infectious diseases attracted significant investments. Despite the enormous efforts made to control infectious diseases, there remains a huge market for affordable, precise, and sensitive PoC solutions. The healthcare sector now has access to a wide range of applications thanks to nanotechnology. The development of PoC platforms based on nanoparticles and nanodevices has received emphasis from several players. A small number of samples in kits created using nanotechnology can be used to diagnose a condition and provide patients with results in real time. As a result, the use of nanotechnology in infectious illness diagnostics yields accurate and timely results.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Infectious and Chronic Diseases

Due to increased rates of chronic diseases and the rise of infectious diseases, the market for point of care diagnostics is anticipated to expand significantly throughout the forecast period. Additionally, the market is anticipated to be driven by the rising popularity of decentralized health systems. Additionally, it is expected that the market would grow during the forecast period due to the adoption of new breakthroughs and technical improvements in the industry by key market players. In the coming years, growth in the PoC diagnostics market is expected because of these factors.

Growing Preference for Decentralized Healthcare System

PoC diagnosis has grown to be an essential component of patient-centric healthcare, because of diverse benefits including rapid turnaround times and the opportunity to make treatment decisions right away. Improvements in patient care have resulted from a preference shift from centralized to decentralized PoC testing for infectious diseases. The market participants’ willingness is driving the industry to offer PoC goods to remote places due to the rising need for quick examinations.

Restraints

Stringent Regulatory Requirements

PoC testing's shortcomings relative to central lab methods and onerous and time-consuming regulatory requirements are the main factors limiting the market's expansion. Accuracy problems at the PoC diagnostic procedures may affect the adoption rate. Most people worldwide who have infectious diseases including HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis live in underdeveloped countries. Lack of clinical expertise and difficult product accessibility brought on by lower per capita spending have resulted in a decline in the use of PoC kits in low- and middle-income countries. It leads to incorrect finding interpretations, which affects the test's accuracy. Consequently, it would impede the market expansion.

Segmental Coverage

Global Point of Care (PoC) Infectious Disease Testing Market - By Technique

Agglutination test, flow-through test/immuno-concentration assay, molecular diagnostics, and others are market segments based on the technique. The lateral flow immunoassay market segment held a major market share. The quicker diagnosis and accessibility of the test kits in decentralized settings are responsible for its leadership. The increasing use of innovations, such as RT-PCR and ELISA in infectious disease PoC testing kits is expected to drive the market by 2028. Additionally, the increase in FDA approvals is going to accelerate the segment's revenue growth. Due to the growing number of market participants working to introduce advanced kits based on the flow-through technique in the international market, the flow-through test/immunoconcentration assay segment is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Global Point of Care (PoC) Infectious Disease Testing Market - By Disease

HIV, hepatitis B virus, pneumonia/streptococcus related infections, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, clostridium difficile infections (CDI), hepatitis C virus, MRSA, tuberculosis, and others are the different disease segments in the Global Point of Care (PoC) Infectious Disease Testing market by disease. The burden of underdiagnosis and the rising frequency of infectious diseases around the world have sped up the use of PoC testing kits and boosted industry growth. As influenza is the primary cause of acute respiratory infection, these diagnostic products are being used more frequently for effective illness management. Additionally, it is projected that the increased R&D investments for sophisticated PoC kits in emerging countries will accelerate the expansion of the influenza category.
