概観

The global point-of-care testing (POCT) market has emerged as one of the most strategically consequential segments within in-vitro diagnostics, underpinned by the fundamental shift in healthcare delivery toward decentralized, rapid-result testing. Valued at approximately USD 48.6 billion in 2024, the market encompasses a broad spectrum of diagnostic modalities—from lateral flow immunoassays and molecular POCT platforms to glucose monitoring systems and blood gas analyzers—deployed across hospital emergency departments, physician offices, pharmacies, and increasingly in patients' homes. The COVID-19 pandemic served as an inflection point that permanently altered procurement behavior, regulatory pathways, and end-user acceptance of decentralized diagnostics, creating a structural demand base that persists well beyond the acute public health emergency.

Frequently asked questions

What is the size of the point-of-care testing market?
The global point-of-care testing market was valued at approximately USD 48.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately USD 89.4 billion by 2032. In volume terms, the market processed an estimated 42.8 billion dosage units (individual test consumables) in 2024, reflecting the scale of decentralized diagnostic activity worldwide.
What is the CAGR of the point-of-care testing market?
The global point-of-care testing market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7.9% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2032, driven by structural shifts toward decentralized diagnostics, chronic disease burden, and ongoing technological advancement in rapid testing platforms.
What is driving growth in the point-of-care testing market?
Three primary forces underpin market expansion. First, the escalating global prevalence of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory illness sustains persistent demand for near-patient testing. Second, healthcare systems across high- and middle-income markets are actively restructuring care delivery toward primary care settings, urgent care centers, and home environments, each requiring reliable rapid diagnostics. Third, regulatory bodies including the U.S. FDA and the European Commission have accelerated approval pathways—particularly CLIA-waived classifications and CE-IVD clearances—that shorten time-to-market for new POCT devices and expand the addressable end-user base.
Who are the leading companies in the point-of-care testing market?
The market is led by a concentrated group of global diagnostics majors. Abbott Laboratories holds a commanding position through its i-STAT and BinaxNOW product lines. Roche Diagnostics competes through its cobas Liat molecular platform and Accu-Chek diabetes portfolio. Danaher Corporation operates in the segment via Cepheid's GeneXpert systems and Radiometer's blood gas analyzers. Siemens Healthineers offers the CLINITEST and RAPIDPoint platforms. QuidelOrtho (formed by the merger of Quidel and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics) is a formidable player in lateral flow and immunoassay-based rapid testing.
Which region dominates the point-of-care testing market?
North America holds the largest revenue share in the global point-of-care testing market, accounting for approximately 38% of total market value in 2024. This leadership reflects the region's high per-capita healthcare expenditure, well-established reimbursement frameworks for POCT under CMS guidelines, extensive urgent care and retail clinic infrastructure, and the outsized demand generated during the COVID-19 pandemic that permanently elevated institutional procurement volumes. Asia Pacific represents the fastest-growing region through the forecast period.
What segments are covered in this report?
The report provides comprehensive segmentation across device type (lateral flow assay devices, molecular POCT platforms, glucose and diabetes monitoring devices, blood gas and electrolyte analyzers, cardiac marker testing devices, and coagulation testing devices), application (infectious disease testing, glucose and diabetes management, cardiac and metabolic biomarker testing, pregnancy and fertility testing, drug abuse and toxicology screening, and oncology marker testing), five global regions, and six key country-level markets.
What is the forecast period covered in this report?
This report covers a forecast period from 2025 to 2032, with 2024 serving as the base year for all market sizing and volume calculations. Historical data covering the period from 2019 to 2024 is also included to contextualize pre- and post-pandemic market trajectories.
