In Vitro Diagnostics Market is Projected to Register 4.5% CAGR till 2027

The global in vitro diagnostics market size was valued at USD 83.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% from 2021 to 2027.

The global In Vitro Diagnostics Market size is expected to reach USD 113.9 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2027. The growth is driven by the growing geriatric population and technological advancements in diagnostics that are supporting its adoption.

Technological advancements in terms of accuracy, portability, and cost-effectiveness are expected to be one of the high impact rendering drivers of this market. For instance, in June 2017, Agena Bioscience launched the MassARRAY system integrated with CHIP Prep Module in Europe. The system was marketed as a CE-IVD product under Directive 98/79/EC. Moreover, Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is one of the fastest-growing application segments of the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) market.

The IVD market is highly competitive in nature. Consequently, manufacturers are required to improvise products in terms of specificity, accuracy, precision, speed, and other parameters, in order to gain an advantage over previously marketed products.

A steady rise in consumer awareness about diagnosing infectious diseases and increasing disease prevalence, especially in developing and under-developed countries, are driving the market penetration of the products. For instance, in February 2019, Abbott received CE Mark for DETERMINE HBSAG 2 test for detection and diagnosis of hepatitis B surface antigen.

Organizations promote funding to support R&D and product development exercises pertaining to clinical diagnostics. For instance, Vela Diagnostics received USD 225,000 as Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) fund to develop COVID-19 tests. Moreover, the introduction of the American Health Care Act of 2017 is expected to improve the healthcare of the U.S. Rising government initiatives pertaining to the importance of IVD will fuel market growth.

The presence of effective technologies such as molecular diagnostics is expected to reduce the threat of substitutes. Moreover, their contribution in the field of genetic testing is of paramount importance and, therefore, experience a low threat of substitutes. However, high prices of these tests are expected to encourage patients to shift to external substitutes.

Major players in the market are Roche Diagnostics; Becton Dickinson; Abbott Laboratories; Siemens; and bioMerieux, which are well-established. Therefore, local companies and new organizations have little scope to enter the market and ensure sustainability. However, companies such as Danaher Corporation and Hologic have successfully excelled in the market through mergers and acquisitions. The seed capital required is high.
