Based on test type, the market is segmented into traditional diagnostic test and molecular diagnostic assay. The traditional diagnostic test segment was valued at around USD 1.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a robust growth trend throughout the analysis period.
 

• Traditional methods have been widely utilized for their ease of use, quick results, and cost-effectiveness. These tests include a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT), direct fluorescent antibody test (DFAT), viral culture, and serological assay. These tests detect specific viral proteins (antigens) in respiratory specimens, providing quick results within minutes. The simplicity and rapid turnaround time of antigen tests make them well-suited for point-of-care settings, including clinics, urgent care centers, and primary care offices.
   
• The growth of traditional diagnostic tests is influenced by factors such as accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to deliver rapid results in various healthcare settings. While newer technologies, including molecular methods and point-of-care nucleic acid amplification tests, have gained prominence, traditional tests continue to play a crucial role, especially in resource-limited environments and during seasonal outbreaks where a large number of tests are required quickly.
   

Based on end-use, the influenza diagnostic tests market is segmented into hospitals, diagnostics centers, research laboratories, and others. The hospital segment is projected to reach more than USD 1 billion by the end of 2032.
 

• The surging use of influenza diagnostic tests in hospital settings delivering affordable and efficient diagnosis is estimated to surge the patient preference for these healthcare facilities. Hospitals often have centralized and well-equipped laboratories that can handle a high volume of diagnostic tests. Centralized testing facilities within hospitals enable efficient processing of influenza diagnostic tests, especially during peak seasons or outbreaks.
   
• Moreover, hospitals play a pivotal role in surveillance and outbreak management. During influenza season or in the event of an outbreak, hospitals conduct widespread testing to monitor the prevalence of the virus, implement infection control measures, and guide public health interventions. Thus, accessibility to better diagnosis & treatment coupled with the rising prevalence of influenza and associated conditions is estimated to boost patient visits to hospitals, thereby propelling the segment revenue.
   

The U.S. dominated the North American influenza diagnostic tests market with a significant market share in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a notable pace to reach more than USD 1.2 billion by 2032.
 

• This notable market share can be attributed to various factors, including robust healthcare infrastructure, R&D initiatives, and high disease burden and seasonal outbreaks, among other key drivers.
   
• The U.S. boasts an advanced and well-established healthcare infrastructure, characterized by state-of-the-art medical facilities, laboratories, and diagnostic centers. The country's sophisticated healthcare system facilitates the widespread availability and adoption of influenza diagnostic tests.
   
• Moreover, the U.S. is a hub for medical research and development, with ongoing initiatives aimed at improving diagnostic capabilities. Research institutions, universities, and private companies in the country are at the forefront of innovations in influenza diagnostics, leading to the introduction of cutting-edge technologies.
