The Global Lateral Flow Assays Market is projected to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2026 from USD 11.4 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 2.0% during the forecast period.

Factors Responsible for Growth and In-Depth Analysis?

High prevalence of infectious disease across the globe;

Despite significant improvements in sanitation and medicine, the global prevalence of infectious diseases is still high. Although non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, infectious diseases remain a major public health concern across the globe. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, annually, infectious diseases claim more than 15 million lives globally. In 2019, according to the WHO World Malaria Report, 229 million malaria cases occurred worldwide. With an estimated 215 million cases in 2019, the WHO African Region accounted for about 94% of cases. Similarly, as per WHO 2021, an estimated 37.7 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2020, over two-thirds of whom (25.4 million) are in the WHO African Region.

The high prevalence of infectious diseases, such as HIV and malaria, coupled with the underdeveloped healthcare infrastructural facilities and increasing public awareness in developing countries, is expected to drive the adoption of lateral flow assay tests in these countries. In addition, recent outbreaks of infectious diseases from the spread of viruses (such as Ebola, H1N1, and Zika) have highlighted the need for early disease detection capabilities, which is also expected to drive market growth. The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in high demand for rapid diagnostic testing through lateral flow technology, supporting the growth of this market in the coming year.
