Global Lateral Flow Assays Market Research Study, Growth, Trends

The report "Lateral Flow Assays Market by Application (Clinical Testing (Pregnancy, Infectious Diseases (Mosquito, Influenza, STI, Hepatitis, TB) Cardiac Marker Lipid Test) Veterinary, Food Safety) Product (Readers, Kits) Technique, End User - Global Forecast to 2026", is projected to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2026 from USD 11.4 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 2.0% during the forecast period. The high prevalence of infectious diseases worldwide, rapid growth in the geriatric population, growing demand for point-of-care testing, and rising use of home-based lateral flow assay devices are the major factors driving the growth of this market. On the other hand, reluctance among doctors and patients to change existing diagnostic procedures and the low accuracy of lateral flow assays are the key restraints.

Growing demand for point-of-care testing;

Currently, most diagnostic tests performed across the globe are laboratory-based. However, lateral flow assay-based point-of-care (POC) tests are increasingly adopted to replace lengthy, conventional laboratory procedures. POC diagnostic tests require less complex infrastructure and training, owing to which the cost of these tests is lower than conventional laboratory diagnostic procedures. POC testing is anticipated to hold the greatest share in the lateral flow assay market because of its importance against a growing disease burden. For example, as per WHO, Global Tuberculosis Report 2020, ~1.4 million people died from tuberculosis-related illnesses in 2019; nearly 10 million individuals developed tuberculosis in 2019.
