Rising R&D investments are further supporting the development of advanced, portable technologies that make molecular testing easier while maintaining reliability. These innovations are helping healthcare providers adopt point-of-care solutions outside traditional laboratory settings.
Assays & kits accounted for the highest growth rate in the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market by product & service.
The point-of-care molecular diagnostics market is classified into assays & kits, instruments & analyzers, and software & services. Assays & kits are expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by the rising need for quick and precise testing solutions that can be used directly at the point of care. The frequent use and ongoing demand for assay kits across various clinical settings, as well as their growing role in diagnosing diverse conditions, are key factors supporting this trend. As healthcare systems continue to prioritize early detection and decentralized testing, the demand for reliable and easy-to-use molecular assay kits is likely to increase steadily.
Blood is the fastest-growing segment in the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market by sample type.
The point-of-care molecular diagnostics market includes various sample types, such as blood, urine, and others. The blood sample is expected to experience the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by its broad use across different diseases and the availability of minimally invasive collection methods. Blood-based molecular tests provide high sensitivity and specificity, making them suitable for detecting a wide range of infectious diseases, including HIV, hepatitis, and sepsis. The increasing demand for rapid diagnostics in critical care settings, where blood is often the preferred sample, further supports this growth. Additionally, technological advancements have improved the efficiency and reliability of blood-based point-of-care testing, promoting its wider adoption.
Asia Pacific exhibits the fastest growth in the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market.
The global market for point-of-care molecular diagnostics is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region is expected to experience the fastest growth in this market. This expansion is fueled by increasing healthcare spending, broader access to diagnostic services, and more government efforts to improve early disease detection. Additionally, ongoing investments in healthcare infrastructure and rising awareness of the benefits of point-of-care testing create positive conditions for market growth. The presence of emerging economies like China and India further boosts growth prospects due to their growing focus on enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
