Global Point of Care Diagnostics Market Size (2024 to 2029)

As per our report, the global point of care (POC) diagnostics market size is estimated to be growing at 9.76% CAGR during the forecast period. The global POC testing market is predicted to grow to USD 47.82 billion by 2029 from USD 30.02 billion in 2024.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) is medical diagnostic testing at or near the point of care at the time and place of patient care. Point-of-care tests are simple medical tests that can be performed at the bedside. The driving notion behind POCT is to bring the test conveniently and immediately to the patient. It increases the likelihood that the patient, physician, and care team will receive the results quicker, allowing for better immediate clinical management decisions. Point-of-care diagnostics, also known as POC testing, is prevalent in enabling test results quickly and accurately. These are user-friendly, where one can take the decentralized healthcare industry trend, enabling remote patient care, early diagnosis, and cost savings.

The coupling of POCT devices and electronic healthcare records (EHR) enables test results to be shared instantly with care providers. Using mobile devices in the healthcare setting also allows the healthcare provider to access patient test results quickly from a POCT device. For instance, a reduction in morbidity and mortality has been associated with rapid turnaround times from a study using the i-STAT to analyze blood lactate levels after congenital heart surgery. POCT has become established worldwide and finds vital roles in public health. Potential operational benefits include more rapid decision-making and triage, reduced operating times, high dependency, postoperative care time, emergency room time, number of outpatient clinic visits, number of hospital beds required, ensuring optimal use of professional time, and reduced antimicrobial medication. Tests performed at the point of care allow for a more efficient workflow process. Rapid test results enable expeditious decision-making and treatment. Portable devices are used, which means less space is required, and there’s a lot of flexibility in moving the workspace.

Global Point of Care Diagnostics Market Drivers:

The growing need for immediate test results and growing market penetration of EHR (Electronic Health Records) and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) are majorly propelling the global point-of-care diagnostics market growth. Adoption of sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and environmental factors are expected to surge the growth rate of the POC diagnostics market. Furthermore, the growing demand for more efficient, easy-to-use, and faster consumer devices and these portable personal care devices is fuelling the global POC testing market growth. In addition, new product launches of home-testing cancer kits at regular intervals and enhanced laboratories due to the integration of automation techniques in healthcare are estimated to boost market growth.

Increasing R&D activities to introduce new POC tests and devices for rapid disease detection and monitoring drives the progress of the point-of-care diagnostics industry. Recently in February 2018, Siemens Healthineers gained FDA approval (Food and Drug Administration) for total carbon dioxide (TCO2) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) POC testing, increasing its market presence. The high prevalence of chronic illnesses and cancers means that a large customer base deploys cheap and instant diagnostic tests, driving the point-of-care diagnostics /testing market. It is complemented by several cheap initiatives to facilitate POC tests in diagnostic and screening procedures.

Global Point of Care Diagnostics Market Restraints:

A major factor restraining the POC testing market demand is the lack of skilled people in manufacturing the kits with the latest design in some areas. In addition, the cost is a roadblock factor, as laboratory testing tends to be less expensive than POC testing. Providers typically require the support of a laboratory to meet quality and accreditation requirements. Quality assurance can be rigorous testing performed by clinical staff rather than individuals that have been laboratory trained. Errors could arise if the team does not understand the importance of quality control and quality assurance practices.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global POC diagnostics market:

The recent eruption of SARS-CoV-2 posed a significant risk to global health. Due to the lack of vaccines and efficient treatments, many countries have been ruined by an augmenting illness spread by increasing COVID-19 cases. Due to the pandemic crisis, Point-of-Care technologies have quickly pioneered to direct fundamental limitations facing the existing standard diagnostic procedures. However, the Point-of-care testing market declined during the growth rate. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are employed in COVID-19 point-of-care testing kits for the virus diagnosis. For instance, in July 2020, Becton Dickinson declared that the U.S. (FDA) allowed Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for fast, POC, COVID-19 diagnostic tests for use with its extensive availability of the BD Veritor Plus System. During this period, the demand and sales for these kits are scheduled to increase the market value.

This market research report on the global point-of-care diagnostics market (POC testing market) has been segmented and sub-segmented based on the product, end-user, and region.

Global Point of Care Diagnostics Market - By Product:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiac Markers
  • Oncology Markers
  • OTC Diagnostic Tests
  • Drugs Of Abuse
  • Blood Gas Testing
  • Fertility Testing
  • Urinalysis
  • Coagulation
  • Hematology
  • Glucose Monitoring
  • Ambulatory Chemistry
  • Decentralized Clinical Chemistry

Based on the product, the glucose monitoring segment led the market with a significant share in 2023 due to factors such as increasing the adoption rate of portable glucose meters with each passing year and growing awareness among diabetic patients to monitor glucose levels in the blood at regular intervals.

The cancer markers market segment is to grow at a high pace. The oncology makers segment is another lucrative segment among all and is anticipated to register a healthy CAGR during the forecast period owing to an increase in cancer cases and increasing death of cancer due to the delay in the identification of cancer in the body. Early detection of tumors can provide a more effective treatment for the tumor patient. Point-of-care (POC) testing is used for the patient to get the result in a short period with less cost. However, these patients must need further diagnosis if the tumor is detected in this POC testing by increasing advancement in using biomarkers in POC devices to know cancer in the patient more accurately.

The cardiac maker segment is also expected to perform well during the global POPC testing market forecast period during the foreseen years. Hospitals are increasingly using rapid results for cardiac-based devices to measure cardiac biomarkers.
