This report represents the 7th edition of a fast-growing and competitive category of the in vitro diagnostic market. Point-of-care (POC) tests are diagnostics performed outside the central laboratory or executed via decentralized testing. POC testing has skyrocketed in the last 20 years as demand for accurate and fast testing has grown both inside and outside the hospital setting. The increasing introduction of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments has resulted in the migration of POC testing from the hospital environment to a range of medical environments including the workplace, home, disaster care and, most recently, convenience clinics.

The 7th edition of Kalorama’s Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostics takes a deep look at the POC diagnostic industry, part of a paradigm shift from curative medicine to predictive, personalized and preemptive medicine.

Segment Size and Growth
POC test devices have contributed significantly to the growth of the overall diagnostics market over the past 10 years. More diagnostic manufacturers have pursued CLIA waiver status for their POC devices and CE Mark for POC or self-use. At the same time more, decentralized test venues invest in non-waived rapid tests and instruments. POC testing appears to be headed for an even bigger role in diagnosis and monitoring patient care. New technologies are allowing POC devices to produce quantitative lab-quality test results that can be transferred automatically to an information system, a remote caregiver service for consultation or an electronic medical record.
