The point-of-care molecular diagnostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market has experienced significant expansion. The market is forecasted to progress from a worth of $3.55 billion in 2024 to $4.01 billion in 2025, showcasing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%.
Several factors have contributed to this growth in the historic period, including an increased need for quick disease diagnosis, a surge in the incidence of infectious diseases, the broadening scope of telemedicine and remote testing, regulatory backing for point-of-care diagnostics, and the necessity for personalized and precision medicine.
The point-of-care molecular diagnostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for point-of-care molecular diagnostics is projected to witness substantial expansion in the upcoming years, eventually reaching a value of $7.02 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0%.
This growth during the predicted period is influenced by factors such as the downsizing of diagnostic tools, the increase of poc testing in cancer and genetic ailment fields, personalized molecular diagnostics for a variety of uses, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning in data deciphering, and monitoring of emerging infectious diseases. The anticipated trends within this period include the integration of lab-on-a-chip and microfluidic technologies, the use of digital health and smartphone-oriented diagnostics, preparedness for point-of-care covid-19 and other pandemics, predictive diagnostics powered by AI, and molecular testing utilizing crispr.
The increasing incidence of infectious and respiratory diseases is predicted to greatly boost the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market's expansion. Respiratory infections, caused by microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria, impact the respiratory system, and they can be spread through coughing, sneezing or physical contact. The range of treatments for severe respiratory conditions includes a plethora of inhalers, oral medications, intravenous therapies and point-of-care molecular diagnostics to aid patient recovery. For example, data from the Office for National Statistics, a reputable national statistics institute in the UK, indicated that infection rates for individuals aged 35 to 69 surged towards the end of the week ending December 9, 2022, and also went up for those in school years 12 to 24. Consequently, the swift rise in infectious and respiratory diseases and associated mortality is expected to fuel the growth of the point-of-care-molecular diagnostics market.
