COVID 19 Point of clinical diagnostic market Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Increased Adoption of Rapid Diagnostic Tests

The clinical diagnostic market is estimated to be valued at US$ 83.34 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
The clinical diagnostic market consists of products and technologies used to diagnose diseases through in vitro testing of biological samples such as blood, urine, and tissue biopsies. Key products in this market include chemistry analyzers, immunoassay analyzers, hematology analyzers, flow cytometers, coagulation analyzers, and microarrays. These products find wide applications in diagnosing conditions related to infectious diseases, cancer, diabetes, renal diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.

Market Dynamics:
The growth of the clinical diagnostic market is majorly driven by increased adoption of rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests for COVID-19 diagnosis. Point-of-care diagnostics provide quick diagnosis of infectious diseases by detecting the presence of pathogens directly from patient specimens close to the site of patient care. Rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19 that can provide results within 30 minutes have gained significant popularity for mass testing purposes. Another factor fueling the market growth is rising geriatric population who are more prone to various chronic and infectious diseases requiring regular diagnostic testing. However, stringent regulatory framework governing IVD products limits the market growth to some extent.
