The Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostic Tests, 11th Edition

NOW IN ELEVEN EDITIONS—The Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostic Tests forecasts the POC market through 2028.

Lab-based analyzers in hospitals and reference labs are the cornerstone of revenues in the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry. However, the point-of-care (POC) segment is seen as a key growth area. Point-of-care refers to tests that can provide meaningful results during a provider visit or in the patient's home.

Over the past two decades, Kalorama Information has observed that POC tests present significant opportunities for expansion. This rich history analyzing the market is at the forefront of The Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostic Tests, the eleventh edition in Kalorama’s POC report series.

The role of diagnostics in promoting wellness, improving patient-provider encounters, aiding in drug selection and stewardship, facilitating home or nursing home care, and ensuring effective pandemic management relies heavily on the success of point-of-care solutions. The global POC testing market has experienced significant growth in the last two decades due to the increasing demand for accurate and rapid testing, both within and outside hospital settings. Technological advancements in smartphones, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, and wearable devices have influenced the POC landscape, aiming to provide expedited diagnosis at the point-of-care.

As a result, point-of-care diagnostics can command higher pricing and experience larger revenue growth compared to lab-based tests. The tests covered in The Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostic Tests, 11th Edition tend to grow at higher rates than the overall IVD market.

Venue Market Analysis

POC tests are conducted in various settings, including hospital departments (emergency, operating rooms, intensive care units), physicians' offices, hospital clinics, retail clinics, pharmacies, homes (self-testing or by caregivers), and nursing homes.

POC testing may be performed by laboratory personnel, but often it is performed by non-laboratory personnel such as physicians, nurses, assistants in medical offices, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), medics, pharmacists, and the patients themselves (self-testing). Some POC tests are manual tests, often performed with technologies based on dipsticks or strips, lateral flow cassettes, or other manual tests. There are also many small, portable instruments that have been developed for use in POC settings. With the advances in miniaturization and microfluidics that have occurred in recent years, a growing number of small, handheld devices are reaching the POC market for a range of different testing applications.
