The antibody testing market was valued at US$ 7,260.00 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 11,578.47 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Antibodies are immunoglobulins, Y-shaped proteins that are produced by the immune system so as to stop invaders from harming the body. An antibody test is a screening for antibodies in the blood. The body makes antibodies when fighting infections like COVID-19 or when patients are vaccinated. This is how immunity is built against a virus. These tests are also called serological tests. Antibody tests help diagnose an autoimmune disease or rule out other conditions with similar signs and symptoms. In addition, antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a group of autoantibodies produced by an individual's immune system when it cannot adequately distinguish between "self" and "foreign" components. The ANA test detects the antibodies in the blood. ANA reacts with parts of healthy body cells and causes symptoms such as tissue and organ inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue. ANA specifically targets substances found in the cell nucleus; hence the antibodies are known as "antinuclear antibodies." Antibody detection kits are predictive of prognosis and detection of COVID-19 infection to support the disease. The antibody testing market is driven by a rising number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and a growing senior population. Additionally, growing government support is fueling the growth of Antibody Testing, which influences the development of the market. For example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publicly shared test performance data for antibody or serology test kits. These results come from a collaborative effort by the FDA, NIH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Market Insights

Rising Number of COVID-19 Cases across the World.

Ever since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was declared a public health emergency of international concern in late January 2020, medical professionals and researchers have been urging the need for comprehensive and rapid testing of citizens to plan measures that can contain the spread of the virus. Over time, real-time polymerase chain reaction tests and antibody tests have emerged as vital techniques for the global healthcare system to manage the outbreak. Antibody detection is essential for differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. It is a test performed by patient serum or plasma with reagent red cells. Determination of specific antibodies to viral and bacterial pathogens and parasites facilitates the correct therapeutic measures to be taken. Antibody testing is critical for implementing an effective and efficient public health strategy to minimize the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should be adopted for important clinical utility cases and support return-to-work strategy globally.

Antibody detection kits are predictive for prognosis and detection of COVID-19 infections to assist the diseases. Since these kits help examine whether a person has developed antibodies in their bloodstream to fight the SARS-CoV-2, it indicates whether a person has been exposed to or has COVID-19. In order to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and increase patient screening, several companies are offering these rapid antibody detection kits to healthcare workers, hospitals, laboratories, and other professionals. Thus, rising incidence of coronavirus cases and growing government approvals for antibody test kits are the few factors responsible for the growth of the market.
