The global lateral flow assay market is projected to grow from USD 0.20 billion in 2021 to USD 0.24 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 8.0% from 2021 to 2026.
Lateral flow assays, also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assays, are ligno gadgets that are used to indicate the existence of a target biomolecule in a specimen without using specialized and expensive hardware, as well as highly qualified healthcare professionals. This market has acquired considerable momentum in homecare settings.
The use of lateral flow assays in the point-of-care medical field has gained a lot of momentum in the scientific community, which is driving the market for lateral flow assays. Furthermore, the high frequency of contagious illnesses, rapid expansion of the geriatric population, rising need for point-of-care diagnostic techniques, and increased use of home-based lateral flow assay instruments are all driving the market’s growth.
One of the primary factors driving the growth of the market for lateral flow assays is the rising use of lateral flow devices in residential care facilities. Aspects like accessibility, portability, and rapid interpretation of the data without the need for additional instrumentation or medical intervention, has boosted the usage of this device rapidly since their inception. As a result, the fact that diagnostic tests are available without a prescription is enhancing their use and hence is also boosting the market expansion.
There has been a rise in the priority for diagnostics solutions, particularly lateral flow assays, since the advent of the coronavirus (COVID-19), as it is a pillar for the management of the pandemic. During the initial phase of 2020, the prevalence of COVID-19 surged significantly in different nations, prompting key operational firms to spend in R&D for rapid diagnostic tests. As a consequence, various antibody/antigen assays have been developed thereby boosting demand for lateral flow assays during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the market is segmented into kits and reagents, and lateral flow readers. The kits and reagents segment is analyzed to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2021 to 2026. The growing usage of lateral flow kits and reagents for POC testing, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the increasing use of lateral flow kits in residential care, and their comfort and convenience of use are all factors contributing to this segment's growth.
Based on the sample type, the market is segmented into blood samples, urine samples, saliva samples, and other samples. The market for clinical testing is expected to be the largest shareholder of the market from 2021 to 2026. The utilization of blood samples in lateral flow tests for bacterial infections including malaria, HIV, and syphilis, as well as increased knowledge of rapid solution providers and the simplicity of detecting illness antigens from blood samples, are all driving this segment's growth.
Based on the application, the market is segmented into, clinical testing, veterinary diagnostics, food safety & environmental testing, drug development & quality testing. The market for clinical testing is expected to be the largest shareholder of the market from 2021 to 2026. The rising burden of diabetes, mounting need to cut costs of healthcare, and expanding desire for patient-centric care are all factors contributing to this segment's growth.
Based on the technique, the market is segmented into the sandwich assay, multiplex detection assay, and competitive assay. The market for the sandwich assay is expected to be the largest shareholder of the market from 2021 to 2026.
Based on the end-users, the market is segmented into hospitals and clinics, home care, diagnostic laboratories, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and others. The market for hospitals and clinics is expected to be the largest shareholder of the market from 2021 to 2026. The hospitals and clinics market is growing caused by technological developments, increased acceptance of point-of-care testing, and an increasing patient preference for quick and early evaluation.
As per the geographical analysis, the lateral flow assay market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the lateral flow assay market from 2021 to 2026. The growth is attributed to the increase in the prevalence of several contagious diseases in this region, such as Lyme disease and pneumonia, as well as an elevated death rate connected with HIV/AIDS. The United States has the highest market share in North America, owing to a huge patient pool and higher accessibility as disposable income grows.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the lateral flow assay market during the forecast period. With the rising incidence of chronic disorders such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, cardiac ailments, and cholesterol problems, as well as a growing population, the Asia Pacific region is likely to see increased demand in the future. Furthermore, the aging demography, soaring life expectancy, ascending per capita income, vastly increased investments in the region by key market players, the advancement of private-sector hospitals and clinics to rural areas, the availability of cheap manufacturing labor, the occurrence of a favorable regulatory regime, and continued growth for household and point-of-care diagnostics are all supporting the market growth in the APAC region.
Abbott Laboratories, Hologic Inc., F.Hoffmann-La Roche, Danaher Corporation, Quidel Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Siemens AG, Becton, Bio-Rad, PerkinElmer, Dickinson and Company, bioMerieux, among others are the key players in the lateral flow assay market.
