Market Insights and Analyst View:

In-vitro diagnostics includes laboratory testing and medical devices used to analyze biological samples, such as urine, blood, or tissues, obtained from a human body. These tests play a vital role in monitoring and diagnosing various medical conditions. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, technological advancements, and the growing geriatric population are the noteworthy factors driving the in-vitro diagnostics market growth. Advancements in molecular diagnostics empower efforts made by research groups and healthcare workforces across the world to improve personalized treatment plans based on the genetic makeup of individuals. Growth opportunities in developing regions due to progressing infrastructure and health-related awareness can also be associated with the projected growth of the in-vitro diagnostics market during 2022–2030.

Growth Drivers:

According to CDC data, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of adult mortality. Approximately 375,476 people died due to CAD in 2021. Estimates published in the 2022 National Diabetes Statistics Report by the World Health Organization state that ~422 million people worldwide have diabetes, the majority of which are living in low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, 1.5 million deaths are directly related to diabetes each year. Overweight, genetic conditions, aging, sedentary lifestyle, etc., are boosting the prevalence of diabetes. According to estimations published in a Cancer Research UK report, ~18.1 million new cancer cases were reported worldwide in 2020, and the number is expected to increase to 28 million by 2040. Hence, the rising prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory conditions drives the growth of the in-vitro diagnostics market.

 IVD is used in clinical, laboratory, and outpatient settings with the aim specifically to help in the detection of diseases and, consequently, aid in the selection of appropriate treatment protocols. The integration of IVD technologies with digital health solutions is gaining traction globally. Data analytics, artificial Intelligence, and remote monitoring enhance the value of diagnostic tests, leading to better patient management and outcomes. IVD technologies integrated with digital health solutions can be incorporated into clinical decision support systems. As recognized by the WHO, digital health solutions could help detect diseases. Artificial intelligence health bots and similar other emerging solutions may present opportunities for patient care and address challenges such as high cost and time requirements. In diagnostics based on genomic testing, deep learning can identify cancer cells, determine their type, and predict what mutations may occur in a tumor from images of a specific sample. Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in in-vitro diagnostics are revolutionizing medical device development. These modern diagnostic systems facilitate diagnosis based on digital image analysis, thereby improving healthcare decision-making. Smart diagnostics are extremely scalable IVD solutions that use artificial intelligence to perform better than lab-based diagnostics at a fraction of the price. Additionally, this type of diagnostics can derive emergent features through unique chemical and biological signature detection and analysis. Thus, the integration of IVD with digital health technologies is likely to offer lucrative opportunities to the in-vitro diagnostics market in the coming years.
