The global immunoassay market was valued at USD 28.0 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow further up to USD 46.3 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.
A test known as an immunoassay uses an antibody or immunoglobulin to measure the concentration of a macromolecule in a solution. The analyte is the term for the discovered large molecule. For medical and scientific purposes, immunoassay is used to measure the number of analytes in serum and urine. To guarantee the correctness of the results acquired, it is also utilized in qualitative, quantitative, and radioactivity procedures. Immunoassays with high specificity and sensitivity are utilized to speed up the reactions.
Market Trends and Drivers
The rise in chronic and infectious disorders, especially the COVID-19 outbreak, is responsible for the market expansion. Growth will also be aided by the increase in the elderly population, who are more susceptible to infections and chronic diseases. The widespread use of immunoassay techniques in illness diagnostics is a result of a rise in the incidence of chronic ailments such cancer, infections, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, and nephrological diseases. The prevalence of cancer is gradually rising, which is anticipated to increase need for efficient diagnostic tools like immunoassay. This method is important for determining oncogenesis and diagnosing cancer in all of its forms, including benign and malignant cancer.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The commercialization of the Immunoassay device and consumables is now subject to regulation by the government and regulatory agencies in various countries. It has grown to be a significant obstacle for the immunoassay market. In addition, the industry for immunoassay will be hampered by technological challenges brought on by immunoassay reagents and kits, such as low detection limits of the available antibodies, cross-reactivity of the antibodies, and misleading results.

Major Players in the Global Immunoassay Market
COVID-19 Impact
The immunoassay product is essential for preventing the coronavirus from spreading. The only effective strategy to control the spread of diseases and the potential number of casualties in the absence of a vaccination or treatment is to diagnose them. For extensive COVID-19 monitoring, rapid testing has demonstrated to be an efficient, quick, and simple molecular assay. The challenges associated with SARS-CoV2 detection have been reduced as a result of in-depth investigation, evaluation, and authorization of several immunoassay products and analyzers. There has been a rise in the use of immunoassays such as chemiluminescence, enzyme-linked, lateral flow-based point of therapy diagnostics, rapid testing, and other methods. Demanding regulatory requirements for immunoassay product approval and the technological difficulties with immunoassay products and reagents have an impact on the market. Throughout the epidemic, the immunoassay business has experienced great growth in numerous countries as a result of the widespread diagnosis of COVID-19. Additionally, the market is anticipated to grow even more with the third wave's increase in COVID-19 cases.
