The global at-home diagnostics testing market is expected to witness a growth rate of 4.5% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. Tests that are carried out on human body samples, such as blood, saliva, and urine, in order to find illnesses or other disorders are known as in-vitro diagnostics or home diagnostics when performed at home. The fact that these tests are affordable, quick, and private makes them a preferable choice among patients. The technological advancements had resulted in the increased adoption of diagnostic kits for at-home use. The home diagnostics market is driven by various factors such as rising penetration of telemedicine, reduction in healthcare costs, and increased convenience owing to at-home use.
Moreover, at-home diagnostics is considered more confidential, cost-effective, and less time-consuming and is also available with cutting-edge technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Growing consumer interest in healthcare, particularly in metropolitan areas, has created profitable commercial opportunities. Demand is continually rising, on the back of a population that is predisposed to illnesses like obesity and diabetes.
Covid-19 has boosted the potential of the at-home diagnostics testing market
Based on test type, infectious disease testing is projected to exhibit a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. There is an evident shift toward preventive healthcare rather than curative medicines. The at-home diagnostic testing kits have made it easier for the global population to keep track of their well-being. As Covid-19 continues to necessitate social distancing, the at-home diagnosis testing market is anticipated to upsurge in the upcoming year.
Additionally, the increased need for self-testing and prerequisites for telemedicine for patients globally, are notable drivers of the growth in the at-home diagnostic testing market. The global population is aware of the importance of early detection of chronic diseases like diabetes, HIV, etc., owing to the emergence of Covid-19.
Moreover, the Covid-19 outbreak has also diverted the focus of major market players toward the development of rapid detection test kits like the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which takes a few hours to detect the virus. Furthermore, the augmented demand for home-based minimally invasive confirmatory tests will escalate the market growth in the forecast period.
North America constitutes a dominant market share in the global at-home diagnostics testing market
North America holds a major share of the global at-home diagnostics testing market. North America is home to a multitude of home diagnostics kit manufacturers vying for customers’ attention. The growing prevalence of diseases like Covid-19, diabetes, hypertension, STD, cholesterol, etc. has created a demand for quick test kits that can be used at home.
The demand for home diagnostics test kits is burgeoning owing to the increased prevalence of various lifestyle-associated and infectious diseases including obesity and cancer and pregnancy among women. Owing to the increasing healthcare expenditure, expanding geriatric population, and prevalence of chronic diseases, Western Europe accounts for a sizeable share in the at-home diagnostics testing market. The Asia Pacific is also considered to be a lucrative market and is expected to obtain considerable growth during the forecast period.
