Industry Overview

The global point of care molecular diagnostics market is expected to grow from USD 8.70 billion in 2023 to USD 10.12 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of (CAGR) 2.5% during the forecast period ranging from 2025 to 2030.

Molecular diagnosis refers to the detection process of a particular sequence of DNA or RNA that may be the reasons for a disease. The process helps healthcare professionals to detect diseases using specific technologies in POC settings and may involve simple glucose testing to complex coagulation testing. POC testing is preferred over conventional lab testing due to quicker results, lower costs, and better outcomes.

The growth of the POC molecular diagnostics market has been significant due to growing awareness, economic advantages, higher preference of the geriatric population for health surveillance, growing incidents of infectious diseases, higher adoption of decentralized diagnostics, availability of different types of products and services, and higher demand for assays and kits.

Point of Care Molecular Diagnostics Market Highlights

One of the significant factors that prevents widespread adoption and expansion of the global point of care molecular diagnostics market is the inadequate reimbursements policies and the high cost involved in the process. However, rapid development in the molecular testing products and the rising adoption of these products in the POC facilities are presenting novel growth opportunities to the market.
