Infections, diseases and other medical conditions can be detected with the help of in-vitro diagnostic test. These tests involve the collection of blood, saliva and other samples from the human body at either laboratory, healthcare facilities or at home. In-vitro stands for in-glass and therefore these tests are conducted using test tubes or similar equipment.

The global in-vitro diagnostics market was valued at over USD 65 billion in 2019. The market is projected to register a compound annual growth rate of nearly 9.5% from 2020 to 2027. Thus, the valuation of the market is anticipated to raise by nearly USD 60 billion within a span of 7 years.

The pandemic has had an overall positive impact on the global in-vitro diagnostic market. Increase in cases of COVID-19, demand for IVD kits and reagents as well as the convenience of getting tested at the comfort of one’s home are the major factors for the growth of the market even though the several sectors have witnessed a decline.

Market Dynamics and Trends

Adoption of rapid, minimally invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tools and techniques due to the soaring demand for quick, accurate and non-penetrating test from patients will drive the global in-vitro diagnostic market forward. Rising number of age associated diseases due to the surge in geriatric population across the globe is estimated to further boost market growth. Prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases and increase in incidences will ensure the expansion of the market. With more and more individuals investing in diagnostic techniques and the advancement in testing technologies, the in-vitro diagnostic market is all set to rise.

However, changing reimbursement scenarios and stringent regulatory and legal requirements may hinder the development of the market and deter enterprises from entering into the market. On the other hand, rise in demand for molecular diagnostics and an epigenomics-based approach are expected to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the in-vitro diagnostic market.

  • Siemens healthiness AG gained the U.S. FDA’s approval for their Rapidpoint 500e blood gas analyzer in March 2020.
  • In February 2020, Cepheid and Sherlock Biosciences partnered up to develop a CRISPR-based molecular test that is compatible with the GeneXpert platform.

Market Segmentation and Geographic breakdown:

On basis of product, the consumables segment accounted for majority of the in-vitro diagnostic market share owing to the increasing need to identify diseases, low cost and growing use of kits and reagents. The kit segment is expected to witness a growth rate of over 6% during the forecast period.

Among the test types, the immunoassay segment dominated the market capturing nearly 35%. Rise in chronic and infectious diseases will largely drive the segment. Molecular diagnostics on the other hand will register the highest growth rate due to benefits such as the detection of numerous diseases at the prenatal stage.

The cardiology & blood disorders segmented accounted for the largest market share amid the various applications. Changing lifestyle patterns is largely driving the growth of this segment. The fastest growing segment is the infectious disease segment, growing at a rate of around 7%.

Based on end-user, the hospital segment captured 40% of the in-vitro diagnostic market. The rise in hospitalization and collaboration with diagnostic centers are the major contributors of the growth of the market. The clinics segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate of nearly 9% during the forecast timeline.
