The global point of care molecular diagnostics market size reached USD 4.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 8.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.78% during 2025-2033. The increasing incidence of infectious diseases paired with rapid development in healthcare facilities is significantly driving the market growth.
Point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostics refer to tests performed by physicians to diagnose and detect infectious diseases. It includes hematology, pregnancy, fertility, infectious diseases, urinalysis testing kits, and cardiometabolic and glucose monitoring devices. POC molecular diagnostics is widely used for identifying infectious agents, minimal residual disease, and gastrointestinal disorders, monitoring hemoglobin and fecal occult blood, and determining a patient's ability to metabolize a drug or drug class. These tests offer faster results, reduce complications associated with mistreatment, and improve infection control measures. As a result, POC molecular diagnostics finds extensive applications in hospitals, intensive care units (ICUs), research institutes, clinics, decentralized laboratories, and homecare facilities.
Point of Care Molecular Diagnostics Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. POC molecular diagnostic tests is a cost-effective solution widely used to manage infectious diseases, such as flu, tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, chlamydia, and hepatitis. Additionally, the rising demand for PCR test kits to effectively manage and control the spread of COVID-19 is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the adoption of miniaturization, nanotechnology, and microfluidics to develop low-cost, user-friendly, and highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tests is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the implementation of various government initiatives toward improving healthcare infrastructure and enhancing molecular diagnostic capabilities is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including rapid advancements in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing, rising awareness regarding advanced therapeutic and diagnostic tests, increasing geriatric population, and recent developments in cloud-connected POC diagnostic technologies, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
