Rapid point-of-care (POC) tests are capable of operating in any low-resource setting including at home and are needed to adequately combat the COVID-19 pandemic and reopen society. In response to COVID-19 outbreak, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have authorized POC tests for novel COVID-19 disease that include the Abbott ID NOW and Cepheid GeneXpert. These tests require specialized and expensive instrumentation and high-level technical expertise. Hence, scalable, affordable, and easy-to-use POC tests remain vital need to fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
High cost of product development may slow down the market expansion
Point of care testing market is anticipated to grow significantly led by availability of superior quality point of care diagnostic devices that have wide range of applications. However, integration of advanced technology into these devices to reduce the rate of errors have increased the cost of production. This has in-turn led to an increase in the price of these devices restricting the overall market value. Furthermore, cost burden associated with diagnosis in developing countries is not affordable to majority of the population thus impeding the market revenue.
Increasing prevalence of diabetes across the globe
The glucose monitoring segment accounted for 25.1% of the point of care testing market share in 2019 impelled by increasing prevalence of diabetes in developed as well as developing economies. As per the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Atlas estimates, globally over 642 million individuals aged between 20-79 years will be diagnosed with diabetes by 2040. The report also stated that, it is projected to be the seventh leading cause of death by 2030. Such high prevalence of the disease will increase the product demand.
Glucose monitoring segment is further sub-classified into strips, lancets and meters. Strips segment will observe substantial growth during 2020 to 2026. Wide applications of these strips in home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) by people with hypoglycemia or diabetes mellitus will lead to the market demand.
Usage of lateral flow assays to identify wide range of pathogens and biomarkers
The point of care testing market for lateral flow assays technology valued more than USD 5.3 billion in 2019. Development of lateral flow technology has helped in filling the gap between testing at central laboratory and use in point of care diagnostic testing. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) do not require running water, electricity or expertise for its functioning. They deliver analytical information rapidly and cost-effectively. They are capable of identifying presence of wide range of pathogens, biomarkers and environmental contaminants.
Various benefits of OTC testing will augment the market share
The OTC testing segment valuation was around 14.2 billion in 2019. Benefits of OTC tests include earlier diagnosis and reduces healthcare visits of people with negative results. Industry players are investing into R&D activities to fulfil consumer demand for cost-effective self-tests and gain competitive edge in the market.
Advantages associated with cardio metabolic testing will foster the market growth
The cardio metabolic testing application in the point of care testing market is predicted reach USD 4 billion by 2026 driven by growing incidence rate of diabetes and obesity will lead to cardiovascular illness. The cardiometabolic test also determines the percentage level of Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) in red blood cell membrane. This helps to determine the emerging risk factors associated with cardiac arrest and other heart related diseases. Thus, usage of cardio metabolic tests in such disease conditions will significantly uptake the segment growth.
Increasing number of hospital admissions will enhance the segment revenue
Hospital end-use segment dominated around 36% of the point of care testing market share in 2019 on account of growing number of hospital admissions and rising geriatric population that are susceptible to various chronic conditions. Abnormal glucose measurements are common among intensive care unit (ICU) patients for numerous reasons. Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in the ICU patients is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, accurate and timely glucose measurement is essential to achieve for safe and efficacious glucose control in the ICU patients.
Growing application of POC tests for safe and early diagnosis will reinforce the growth for North America region

North America point of care testing market accounted for 48.3% of revenue share in 2019 due to increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and rising application of POC tests for safe and early diagnosis. High R&D investment by government and private funding organizations for the advancement of point of care diagnostic tests will propel the industry size during the forecast period. Rising shift to predictive medicine from curative medicine, pre-emptive and personalized medicine and increasing use of point of care test for both self-testing and professional testing will influence the market value.
Adoption of business strategies will pave growth opportunities for companies operating in the market
Prominent market leaders operating in the point of care testing market include Abbott, BioMerieux, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Siemens Healthineers, OraSure Technologies, Trinity Biotech and Sysmex Corporation among others. New product launch & approval, acquisition and collaboration are the most commonly adopted business strategies to sustain market position.
Some of the recent industry developments:
- In May 2020, OraSure announced that it has acquired UrSure Inc, a company that develops and commercializes products that measure adherence to HIV medications.
