Increasing chronic and infectious diseases are demanding a surge in the number of diagnostics tests.

There is a rising prevalence of chronic diseases in many people, where in vitro diagnostics are necessary to know the medical condition of the person. The increasing number of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and others are demanding early diagnosis to prevent critical conditions. Many infectious diseases need diagnostic tests for the correct treatment. Around 75% of the diagnoses are considered with the in vitro tests. Growing infectious diseases demand in vitro tests, accelerating the European IVD market growth. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the number of influenza cases reported between 2021 and 2022 is 4,690, higher than the previous year. According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2021, the prevalence of diabetes in European adults was 9.2%, which is projected to reach 9.8% by 2030. The increased number of patients demands diagnostic techniques such as immunodiagnostics, molecular diagnostics, and early detection, which drive the European in-vitro diagnostics market growth.

In vitro diagnostic techniques are used for the primary diagnosis of coronavirus, and they are also highly used during the Pandemic for testing COVID-positive cases.

Growing New launches and advanced technologies are accelerating the market growth.

The rising advancements in technology are helping diagnostic instruments perform better. Many standard instruments, such as coagulation test systems, cell imaging, analysis systems, blood sugar monitoring systems, and PCR testing platforms, use advanced technology to increase multiple sample screening with rapid results. Launching advanced point-of-care testing kits for different symptoms boosts market growth, as these kits are simple to use and highly efficient. 

Investing in research and development by the key market players is estimated to create lucrative opportunities for the market over the forecast period. The possibility of outsourcing is creating opportunities for the key players in Europe's in vitro diagnostics market. 

Strict government regulations and standards for approving diagnostic instruments and methods hinder market expansion. Low awareness regarding the benefits of in vitro diagnostics and infectious diseases also hampers the market growth. Many procedures need to include reimbursement policies, which makes people consider diagnostic techniques due to their high cost. 

The major challenge of the in vitro diagnostics market is that it cannot capture the inherent complexity of the organ systems. As the in vitro tests are done outside the body, they cannot provide information about the body's internal environment.

COVID-19 Impact on the European IVD Market:

The Pandemic impacted the supply chain of diagnostic equipment as Europe was a severely affected region. The increased adoption of these instruments during the Pandemic due to their capability to diagnose COVID symptoms boosted the market growth. According to the report by the UK government, 7.6 million flow device tests were performed in England in 2021. The market growth remained stable in the post-pandemic period in Europe due to a decrease in COVID-19 confirmation cases and reduced diagnostic testing procedures. The new launches for COVID testing positively impacted the market in Europe. For instance, in July 2021, QuantuMDx Group Ltd. Launched Q-POC in Europe for precise and rapid results for the coronavirus in 30 minutes.
