Global Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market Poised for Growth Amid Rising Chronic and Infectious Diseases

The POC Diagnostics Market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 51.26 billion in 2024 to USD 118.91 billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 9.8%. The global point-of-care (POC) diagnostics market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases. With conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders on the rise, the demand for rapid and accessible diagnostic solutions has never been higher.

POC diagnostic devices, such as glucose monitors and cholesterol testing kits, are revolutionizing healthcare by enabling patients to manage their health more effectively. These technologies reduce hospital visits and provide immediate results, which is crucial for disease management. In November 2022, LumiraDx Healthcare launched its high-sensitivity CRP POC antigen test in India, aimed at reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and combating antimicrobial resistance.

The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the importance of POC diagnostics. Rapid antigen and molecular testing kits played a critical role in managing the spread of the virus, particularly in remote and resource-limited areas. The efficiency and convenience of these tests underscored their value in public health crises and routine healthcare.

Technological Innovations Driving Market Expansion

Advancements in microfluidics, biosensors, and nanotechnology are enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of POC diagnostics. Microfluidics enables the miniaturization of devices, making them more portable and user-friendly. Biosensors are improving detection capabilities, with optical biosensors being increasingly used for identifying infectious agents. Wearable biosensor technology is also gaining traction, allowing continuous health monitoring in real time.

In June 2022, U.S.-based startup StataDx acquired licensing rights for the eRapid electrochemical biosensor technology from Harvard University’s Wyss Institute. This technology has the potential to revolutionize diagnostic testing by providing faster and more precise results.

Nanotechnology is playing a crucial role in improving diagnostic sensitivity. The use of gold nanoparticles and quantum dots enhances signal amplification in diagnostic assays, ensuring higher accuracy in POC testing. This innovation has paved the way for the development of highly portable and efficient diagnostic tools without compromising performance.

Challenges Hindering Market Growth

Despite the advantages of POC diagnostics, high costs remain a major challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Advanced POC systems incorporate sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence, biosensors, and microfluidics, leading to increased production costs. As a result, healthcare facilities in resource-constrained regions struggle to afford these devices, limiting their accessibility.

Molecular POC platforms, which are widely used for detecting infectious diseases, often require significant financial investment, making them out of reach for many smaller healthcare centers. Addressing cost barriers through government support and technological advancements will be essential in ensuring wider adoption of POC diagnostics worldwide.

Market Segmentation and Growth Opportunities

The demand for POC glucose monitoring devices is particularly high among diabetes patients. These devices provide real-time blood glucose level measurements, helping users make informed decisions regarding diet, exercise, and medication. Traditional laboratory-based glucose testing methods take longer to process results, whereas POC devices offer immediate insights, enabling timely interventions.

A significant milestone in POC glucose monitoring was achieved in June 2023 when South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety approved the country’s first domestically produced continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. Developed by I-SENS, the CareSens Air is the smallest and lightest CGM system in South Korea, designed for continuous operation for up to 15 days with an advanced calibration mechanism.

The home care and self-testing segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the POC diagnostics market. The rising popularity of at-home diagnostic tools, such as glucometers and portable ECG monitors, has empowered individuals to monitor their health conditions more effectively. These devices not only reduce dependency on frequent clinical visits but also lower healthcare costs and improve treatment adherence.

Self-testing is also becoming increasingly important for preventive care and early detection. Products such as pregnancy tests, ovulation kits, and rapid COVID-19 antigen tests provide users with quick and reliable results from the comfort of their homes. Many of these devices now integrate with digital platforms, allowing seamless data sharing with healthcare providers for remote diagnosis and treatment adjustments. In March 2023, Cue Health launched a suite of diagnostic test kits that enable users to perform precise and reliable tests at home, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
