The market is also expected to cater to various growth opportunities in key segments. For example, the development of automated in vitro diagnostic solutions for hospitals and laboratories to provide accurate, efficient, and error-free diagnosis is anticipated to drive market growth in the coming years. In addition, rising efforts to develop POC solutions and the surge in adoption of POC tests across different medical diagnostic applications, including infectious diseases, pregnancy, cancer, and others, are fueling the market growth.
The market growth is likely to be fueled by rising efforts from leading participants to develop fast and accurate products that allow easy-to-use, advanced, and flexible testing options. For instance, in August 2022, DxGen Corp. and Precision Diabetes, Inc. announced an agreement to develop and launch a fully automatic POC analyzer in the U.S. market to measure a complete profile of diabetes tests. The analyzer is capable to test C-reactive protein, urine analysis, A1C levels, and other diabetes confirmatory tests at POC facilities.
Furthermore, in November 2021, Lumos Diagnostics, a key player in POC diagnostics, announced that its Lumos CoviDx SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test received an interim order authorization from Health Canada. This test offers easy-to-interpret outcomes in just 15-20 minutes in serial testing of asymptomatic patients. The easy availability of point-of-care tests in home care settings, community pharmacies, retail health clinics, urgent care centers, intensive care units, and operating rooms is fueling the adoption of POC IVD products across the region.
The North America in vitro diagnostics industry is gaining traction as diagnostic laboratories frequently employ fully automated tools. Moreover, automated devices are highly scalable, meet a high level of performance expectations, eliminate batch testing, and provide quick results to medical professionals. Leading participants are continuously working on building automated devices because of these benefits. For instance, in May 2022, BD launched a new, fully automated high-throughput infectious disease molecular diagnostics platform in the U.S. market.
Furthermore, the increasing incidence of target diseases, favorable government initiatives, and the flourishing healthcare sector in the region are anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities.
For instance, in November 2022, Hologic, Inc. was awarded a USD 19 million contract from BARDA to support its research and development activities. In addition, in January 2022, Aline, Inc. & Nectar Product Development announced a strategic partnership to improve POC in vitro diagnostic products.
Product Insights
The reagents segment held the largest share of 65.9% in 2022 and is anticipated to advance at a steady CAGR during the projected period. Factors such as extensive R&D initiatives being undertaken by major market players for the development of novel tests for different applications and the commercialization of new reagents are likely to drive market growth.
For instance, in March 2021, Promega Corporation introduced XpressAmp direct amplification reagents, which facilitate automation-friendly RNA extraction-free sample preparation. Moreover, in November 2021, 28 Fungal Analyte Specific Reagents (ASRs) were launched by Applied BioCode to sell to clinical laboratories and IVD manufacturers.
The instruments segment held the second largest revenue share in 2022; the high revenue share of the segment can be attributed to the rising demand for PoC testing instruments, technological advancements, and the rising demand for advanced instruments by end-users. Furthermore, key manufacturers are focused on developing new technologies with higher efficiency & accuracy. For instance, the VIDAS and MINI VIDAS systems by bioMérieux are multiparametric immunoassay systems designed to offer highly accurate & precise laboratory results.
Technology Insights
The molecular diagnostics segment dominated the market for North America in vitro diagnostics owing to factors such as rapid evolution in technology, increasing burden of target diseases, the outbreak of COVID-19, and surge in product launches by leading participants. For instance, in November 2022, Roche planned to launch the cobas 5800 system, a compact and fully automated lab instrument that offers flexible PCR testing solutions, in the U.S.
Moreover, the presence of flexible regulations for manufacturers to combat the rising number of infectious diseases is anticipated to accelerate North America in vitro diagnostics industry growth. For instance, in March 2021, the U.S. FDA issued a EUA for Abbott’s molecular test to detect COVID-19. Moreover, the launch of initiatives & programs is further propelling the demand for molecular diagnostics to reduce disease burden. For instance, in March 2022, Molecular Characterization Initiative was launched by the National Cancer Institute to provide childhood cancer molecular characterization.
The rising demand for regular health checkups, the surge in the prevalence of hematological disorders, and the rising demand for POC & portable devices are some factors responsible for the growth of the hematology segment. The rising demand for benchtop and portable devices is pushing manufacturers to develop hematology instruments with new features and enhanced performance. For instance, in July 2022, HORIBA Medical launched Yumizen 550 and 500 in its hematology product portfolio. Similarly, in August 2020, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. launched the ProCyte One Hematology Analyzer, which delivers accurate and consistent results with operability in PoC settings.
