Cholesterol testing services have become increasingly important in recent years owing to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases worldwide. As per studies, high levels of cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol, are one of the major risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol testing helps in the screening and diagnosis of high cholesterol levels which often have no visible symptoms. It is recommended for adults to get their cholesterol tested at least once in every 5 years to monitor levels. Various types of cholesterol tests, such as complete lipid panel, lipoprotein analysis, etc., are available which can be performed at laboratories as well as diagnostic centers and clinics. An accurate cholesterol test result serves as an important indicator of potential heart disease risks and helps healthcare providers develop targeted cholesterol management plans through lifestyle changes and medication if required.

However, with increasing investments in research and development activities, increased demand for home-based cholesterol testing kits due to the pandemic, integration of digital technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy and turnaround time, and strategic collaborations between market players and healthcare providers, these challenges are expected to be addressed, thereby opening up new opportunities for market players.
