The surge in chronic and infectious diseases is fueling the progression of the point of care (POC) diagnostics market. Chronic ailments, characterized by their slow progression over a long period, typically more than 3 months, can be managed effectively with the help of point-of-care diagnostics. This kind of testing is extremely popular because of the convenience it provides. For example, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2023 reported that 42% of adults in the U.S had two or more chronic diseases. This distressing trend underscores the mounting incidence of multiple chronic illnesses in adults. Consequently, the growing prevalence of these chronic diseases is catalyzing the expansion of the point of care (POC) diagnostics market.
