The hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will rise from $1.83 billion in 2024 to $2.03 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
This growth is attributed to the rising prevalence of diabetes, growing awareness and screening initiatives, expanding government healthcare policies, the development of healthcare infrastructure, an aging population, improved diagnostic accuracy, and the increased use of point-of-care testing.
The hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing market is expected to experience rapid growth, reaching $3.02 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 10.5%.
Growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, an increased focus on preventive healthcare, the expansion of emerging markets, the rise of personalized medicine, regulatory support, growing telemedicine, and remote monitoring. Trends include technological advancements, digital health platform integration, non-invasive testing technologies, and growth in telehealth.
The growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to accelerate the expansion of the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing market. Diabetes is a condition where the body struggles to control blood sugar levels due to inadequate insulin production or resistance. The rising incidence of diabetes is linked to poor dietary habits, especially the consumption of processed foods and sugary drinks, along with sedentary lifestyles. Additionally, the aging population and family history contribute to the increase in diabetes cases. HbA1c testing is used to monitor long-term blood sugar levels. The Lancet predicts global diabetes cases will rise from 529 million in 2021 to 1.3 billion by 2050. This trend is expected to fuel the growth of the HbA1c testing market.
