The immunoassay market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the size of the immunoassay market has seen robust expansion. Projected growth from $35.81 billion in 2024 to $37.63 billion in 2025 suggest a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The historic growth pattern can be traced back to factors such as disease prevalence, an aging population, outbreaks of infectious diseases, point-of-care testing, and increased funding for research.
The Immunoassay market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the immunoassay market to experience substantial growth in the coming years. The market's value is predicted to reach $50.12 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
The growth anticipated over the forecast period is linked to various factors such as personalized medicine, burgeoning markets in developing countries, preparation for pandemics, cancer diagnostics, and a shift toward home-based testing. Key trending elements during the forecast period comprise regulatory harmonization initiatives, multipurpose immunoassays, tailored assay services, collaboration with wearable technology, and assay miniaturization.
The rise in infectious and chronic diseases is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the immunoassay market in the forthcoming period. Chronic illnesses, usually lasting a year or more, requiring ongoing medical attention, limiting daily activities, or both, come in various forms. Infectious diseases, on the other hand, are caused by organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. There exists a variety of these organisms living on the human body. It's important to note that these infectious diseases can also be spread from one person to another. Immunoassay is a method that is used to diagnose numerous infectious and chronic diseases. For example, a report authored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a biomedical research organization based in the US, forecasted that in 2023, there would be a 99.5% increase in the population aged 50 and above suffering from at least one chronic disease in the United States, rising from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050. Similarly, the number of patients with multiple diseases is projected to jump by 91.16%, from 7.8304 million in 2020 to almost 14.968 million by 2050. Hence, the market is seeing robust growth due to the escalating number of infectious and chronic diseases.
