Major Trends in the Point-of-care Molecular Diagnostics Market

Rising burden of chronic diseases

The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is anticipated to boost the growth of the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market during the forecast period. Point-of-care Molecular Diagnostics offers significant contributions to revolutionizing infectious disease management. Molecular diagnostics can identify certain strains and resistance genes, which guide appropriate antimicrobial therapy and reduce antibiotic misuse, crucial for combating antibiotic resistance. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as culture-based techniques, often take more time to yield results, which results in delayed treatment and poorer patient outcomes.

Molecular diagnostic tools, including PCR and isothermal amplification techniques, assist in detecting pathogens with high sensitivity and specificity within minutes. For instance, the use of rapid molecular tests allowed for the immediate isolation and treatment of infected individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This quick response aids in effectively controlling the spread of infectious diseases. In addition, the molecular diagnostics point-of-care molecular diagnostics is rapidly advancing the field of personalized medicine.

Point-of-care Molecular Diagnostics Market Segmentation Analysis

Location Analysis

The over-the-counter (OTC) segment held the largest share of the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market in 2024. The OTC segment refers to the molecular diagnostic tests that patients can purchase and use without the prescription or assistance of medical professionals. Several market players are increasingly focused on developing and launching novel kits for the diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases. In January 2024, 3EO Health, a “Point of Life” diagnostics company focused on the development of high-performing low-cost molecular diagnostics for both the point of care and community settings, announced product availability of its COVID-19 test for U.S. physicians and consumers.

On the other hand, the point-of-care test location segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.  The point-of-care test location refers to the settings where molecular diagnostic tests are conducted at or near the patient's location, generating rapid and accurate results. PoC tests can be performed in various settings, including emergency rooms, clinics, patients’ homes, and even non-traditional locations like airports. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the significance of accessible and immediate molecular diagnostics in various test locations. Several tests are performed outside of hospitals as they are portable, quick, and affordable.

Technology Analysis

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a robust CAGR over the forecast period. PCR amplifies and analyzes RNA or DNA sequences. PCR-based diagnostics include the development of innovative rapid and portable PCR devices, lower test turnaround times and improved sensitivity.  The rising applications of POC molecular diagnostics in cancer research, drug discovery and development, pharmacogenomics, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are anticipated to drive the demand for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technologies.  These factors are boosting the segment’s expansion during the forecast period. On the other hand, the genetic sequencing-based segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period of 2024 to 2034.

On the other hand, the genetic sequencing-based segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate. In point-of-care molecular diagnostics, genetic sequencing involves the analysis of DNA to identify specific genetic sequences, pathogens, or mutations at the point of care. The adoption of genetic sequencing-based technology facilitates real-time analysis of genetic material, assists in early detection of disease, and enables personalized treatment decisions at the point of care.

Application Analysis:

The infectious disease segment held the largest share of the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market in 2024. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases has increased the demand for rapid and accurate diagnosis, particularly during pandemics like COVID-19. In the point-of-care molecular diagnostics market, infectious disease testing involves the quick and on-site detection of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, directly from patient samples. It provides results within minutes, allowing for quick response and intervention. The availability of point-of-care molecular diagnostics emerges as a transformative force for patient care, improving the impact on infectious disease management.

The oncology segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.  The growth of the segment is attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer around the world. The most prevalent types of cancer are breast, lung, colon & rectum, and prostate cancers. Oncology involves the use of molecular diagnostic tests for the rapid and accurate detection of cancer-related biomarkers, genetic mutations, and oncogenic pathogens at the point of care. Molecular diagnostics at POC plays an indispensable role in cancer detection and management. The adoption of advanced techniques such as liquid biopsy allows for the non-invasive detection of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and other biomarkers from a simple blood sample.

According to the data released by the World Health Organization (WHO)’s cancer agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in February 2024: there were around 20 million new cases of cancer and approximately 9.7 million deaths in 2022. It is reported that about one in five people will develop cancer during 970,000 their lifetime. Lung cancer was the most commonly occurring cancer worldwide with 2.5 million new cases accounting for 12.4% of the total new cases. Female breast cancer ranked second (2.3 million cases, 11.6%), followed by colorectal cancer (1.9 million cases, 9.6%), prostate cancer (1.5 million cases, 7.3%), and stomach cancer (970 000 cases, 4.9%).

End-use Analysis

The decentralized labs segment accounted for the dominating share in 2024 owing to the rising prevalence of breast cancer. Decentralized lab testing facilities are located closer to the site of patient care, rather than in centralized laboratories. PoC testing has significantly revolutionized the diagnostic landscape by enabling rapid, accurate, timely, and on-site detection of the virus. Additionally, the surge in the adoption of miniaturized point-of-care devices along with the integration of mHealth solutions are anticipated to drive the segment’s growth in the coming years.

The home care segment is expected to witness a significant share during the forecast period owing to the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases. In point-of-care molecular diagnostics, the home care segment allows patients to effectively monitor chronic conditions, obtain rapid test results, and access telehealth services in a home-based setting. The rapid advancement in portable and user-friendly devices is making home-based molecular diagnostics convenient and accessible for patients with chronic and infectious diseases.
