Global Point-of-care Testing Growth Opportunities

Global Point-of-care Testing Growth Opportunities



This study provides an overview of the global point-of-care testing (POCT) industry, which refers to any routine or specialized lab pathology

testing conducted rapidly, on-site/near the site of the patient, where care or treatment is provided. COVID-19 radicalization is changing the global diagnostics landscape. Consolidation trends, structural shifts in healthcare settings, and the extension of POCT to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), routine testing, oncology, and newborn screening are shaping new frontiers. In the future, therapy areas such as oncology, stroke, and dementia will represent the POCT repertoire.

In developed economies, the proliferation of syndromic testing, multiplexing making inroads in immunoassay, evolution in nucleic acid

amplification technology (from PCR to Isothermal Amplification), the use of saliva specimens, and advancements in antimicrobial resistance

testing are increasing the market viability. Furthermore, AI/ML-enabled device software functions incorporating predetermined change control

plans under the diagnostic data program initiative offer accelerated market opportunities in the United States.

In developing economies, multiparametric platforms have emerged to respond to an escalating POC demand in emergency departments and

small-medium labs. In addition, a strong pull toward preventive health is laying the foundation to advance routine testing using emerging blood testing platforms.

A robust multiplex ecosystem tied with the converging potential of diagnostic data creating new revenue streams (e.g., connectivity and digital healthcare technology services) exemplifies the pivot from COVID-19 testing, adapting to changing clinical pathways and greater harmonization

of lab-based and non-lab-based diagnostic data for similar tests to build a more sustainable point-of-care ecosystem.
