North America Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Infectious Diseases Market Analysis

The surging prevalence of infectious diseases and the preference for rapid diagnostic solutions are the key factors driving the market development. Furthermore, the rising focus on R&D and funding in infectious disease diagnostics is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the North American point-of-care testing in the infectious disease market in the coming years. For instance, in January 2023, 19 to Zero, a nonprofit behavioral sciences initiative group, received financing from BD through an educational grant for a point-of-care testing pilot in the primary care environment. A financial award was accompanied by the provision of multiple BD Veritor Plus System Analyzers and BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection Assays to facilitate point-of-care diagnostic testing for influenza A and B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, Group A strep, and triplex.

North America Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Infectious Diseases Market Overview

 Infectious diseases adversely affect public health, causing morbidity, mortality, and economic burdens. The effective management, treatment, and prevention of these health conditions require accurate and timely diagnosis. Molecular diagnostics techniques, laboratory-based assays, and point-of-care tests are employed for the diagnosis of HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C; human papillomavirus screening for cervical cancer; and the monitoring of health and treatment progress in patients. Healthcare providers turn to point-of-care testing to streamline diagnostic processes, reduce turnaround times, and enhance patient care. These tests also ease diagnoses during infectious disease outbreaks. According to data published by the CDC in 2022, Florida (US) suffered the onset of concurrent epidemics of hepatitis A, invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), and mpox (formerly known as monkeypox). Mpox cases were more strongly concentrated in South Florida and peaked in August. In contrast, the hepatitis A and IMD epidemics were centered in Central Florida and peaked from March to June. Nearly 2,845 cases of mumps were reported in Florida as part of a worldwide outbreak. HIV infection was found in 52% of mpox patients compared to 21% of hepatitis A and 34% of IMD cases. These pathogens include hepatitis A, mpox, and meningococcal disease. The need for quick identification and containment of infectious pathogens propelled the demand for innovative point-of-care testing solutions in North America.

North America Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Infectious Diseases Market Drivers and Opportunities

Preference for Rapid Diagnostic Solutions Favors Market Growth

Healthcare providers emphasize on the quick and accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases such as HIV infections, hepatitis, and influenza. POC testing aids in the rapid identification of specific viruses and bacteria, enabling timely treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes. The time taken by POC tests to deliver results may vary from minutes to hours, whereas traditional laboratory testing may take days to produce results. Simple test kits detect proteins released by pathogens or those present on cell surfaces, among others, from samples; they can also detect human antibodies produced in response to infection from blood or serum. The rapid turnaround time enables the prompt initiation of appropriate treatments and helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases within communities. Advancements in POC testing technologies have further enhanced these diagnostic devices with greater accuracy, sensitivity, and ease of use, making them more reliable and user-friendly for healthcare professionals. These technological innovations have expanded the capabilities of POC testing for infectious diseases, allowing for the detection of a wider range of pathogens with greater precision. Additionally, the increasing inclination toward personalized medicine in healthcare has propelled the demand for POC testing products. By providing real-time diagnostic information at the point of care, POC testing enables healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans based on each patient's infection profile, leading to more effective and personalized care.

Increasing Focus on R&D and Funding in Infectious Disease Diagnostics

Research and development (R&D) is an essential component for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. R&D enables market players to develop new products for various therapeutic applications with significant medical and commercial potential. The following table displays the annual funding for various research and disease categories based on contracts, grants, and other funding mechanisms adopted by the NIH.
