Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market by Platform (LFA, Molecular), Application (TB, Pneumonia, Salmonellosis, Hepatitis, HIV, COVID-19, Pregnancy, Blood Glucose Monitoring, Hematology, Tumor), Sample Type (Blood, Urine), and End User?Global Forecast to 2030
The global point-of-care diagnostics market is projected to reach $43.1 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2023 to 2030.

Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report analyzes key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The growth in the point-of-care diagnostics market is mainly attributed to the rapidly growing demand for cost-efficient PoC tests, the outbreak of COVID-19, and growing funding for PoC diagnostics tests. However, pricing pressure due to fluctuations in reimbursements restrains the growth of this market. Increasing demand for PoC diagnostics in emerging economies is expected to create opportunities in the market.

Based on offering, in 2023, the consumables segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. Diagnostic kits are designed to provide highly accurate results with minimal risk of user error. They are pre-packaged with all the necessary materials and reagents, ensuring that the correct amounts are used, thus reducing the risk of contamination, contributing to the segment’s largest share.

Based on platform, the molecular diagnostics segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The tests are commonly used for the detection of viruses such as COVID-19 and flu, while LAMP tests are used for the detection of bacteria and viruses, such as tuberculosis and human papillomavirus (HPV). These tests can provide results within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the test and the type of instrument used. The shorter turnaround time of test results drives the market for molecular diagnostics.

Based on application, in 2023, the blood glucose monitoring segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global point-of-care diagnostics market. PoC devices are widely used for monitoring blood glucose levels. These devices offer reliable quantitative results and are portable, inexpensive, and easy to use, driving the segment growth. Additionally, they enable healthcare professionals to make immediate treatment decisions in response to glycemic fluctuations in hospitalized patients and can also be used by diabetic patients at home to monitor their glucose levels frequently.

Based on sample type, in 2023, the blood sample type segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global point-of-care diagnostics market. Blood sample testing has many benefits, such as determining infections and risks for various health conditions, monitoring the status and progression of chronic diseases, checking treatment success, and in some cases, early disease diagnosis, contributing to the largest share of the segment.

Based on end-user, in 2023, the hospital segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global point-of-care diagnostics market. Hospitals perform various tests to diagnose medical conditions and ensure proper clinical treatment and prevention planning. Factors such as the urgency in medical decision-making, increasing healthcare expenditure, rising prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and the rising number of hospitals and clinics across emerging markets are driving the demand for point-of-care diagnostic kits for use in hospitals & clinics.

An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the global point-of-care diagnostics market provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights about the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region. In 2023, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the point-of-care diagnostics market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America’s large share is attributed to the region’s highly developed diagnostics infrastructure, the trend of PoC testing, the high prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with growth in the aging population, the rising number of inpatient admissions, and the high adoption of self-testing kits among the general population.
