The global lyme disease testing market size is anticipated to reach USD 18.57 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary factors driving this market are the increasing prevalence, supportive government policies regarding healthcare facilities, and the introduction of new diagnostic tests for Lyme disease. In addition, the growing incidence of tick-borne diseases further expands the global market. For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. Fair Health Organization reported that Lyme disease has significantly increased in prevalence over the past 15 years, becoming a growing national concern.
Growing government initiatives and preventive measures significantly drive the market growth. For instance, in July 2022, an article titled "New laws seek to boost funding of Lyme disease research" highlighted that New York officials have increased funding for Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses through a new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul. This bipartisan measure will establish a voluntary tax check-off box to support education, research, and prevention efforts related to the disease in the region. Despite the high incidence of Lyme and tick-borne illnesses, it is believed that the actual number of cases is much higher due to inaccurate diagnostic testing.
Heightened awareness and education are further propelling market growth. Public health campaigns to educate communities about prevention strategies and symptoms have become increasingly prevalent. This growing awareness leads to more individuals seeking medical attention when they exhibit symptoms consistent with the disease, thereby driving demand for reliable testing options. Furthermore, educational initiatives targeting healthcare professionals ensure they remain informed about best practices for diagnosis and treatment.
