A point-of-care (POC) diagnostic in primary care entails conducting medical tests or evaluations conveniently and swiftly within a primary care environment, such as a doctor's office or clinic, without the need for specialized equipment or extensive laboratory processing. These diagnostics aim to deliver prompt results, enabling healthcare providers to make timely decisions regarding patient care during the initial consultation.
Primary care POC diagnostics encompass a range of products, including glucose monitoring, cardiometabolic testing products, infectious disease testing products, coagulation testing products, pregnancy and fertility testing products, tumor or cancer marker testing products, cholesterol testing products, hematology testing products, drug-of-abuse (DOA) testing products, among others. Glucose monitoring involves measuring blood glucose levels to manage diabetes and is available in different types such as prescription-based and over-the-counter (OTC) testing. These are utilized across various settings, including hospitals, diagnostic centers, research laboratories, home-care settings, and others.

This primary care POC diagnostics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The primary care POC diagnostics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.32 billion in 2023 to $16.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, a shift towards personalized medicine, increased healthcare spending, the implementation of supportive regulatory frameworks, streamlined approval processes, and a heightened focus on early disease detection and prevention strategies.
The primary care POC diagnostics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. the anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors such as the emergence of infectious disease outbreaks, the expanding use of POC diagnostics in non-communicable diseases, greater adoption in home healthcare settings, advancements in precision medicine initiatives, augmented investments in healthcare infrastructure, escalating disease burden, and heightened awareness regarding the significance of early disease detection. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms, advancements in molecular diagnostics technologies, the miniaturization and enhanced portability of POC diagnostic devices, the integration of smart devices, and the utilization of multiplexing and panel testing in POC diagnostics.
The anticipated increase in infectious diseases is poised to drive the expansion of the primary care POC diagnostics market in the foreseeable future. Infectious diseases, caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, spread through direct or indirect contact with contaminated surfaces, air, water, or vectors such as insects. Factors contributing to their prevalence include poor environmental conditions, urbanization, antimicrobial resistance, and insufficient vaccination coverage. Primary care POC diagnostics play a crucial role in addressing this rise in infectious diseases by enabling early detection, timely treatment, and effective disease control across various healthcare settings. For example, in October 2023, a report from the UK Health Security Agency revealed a 22% increase in HIV diagnoses in England from 3,118 in 2021 to 3,805 in 2022. Additionally, in November 2023, the World Health Organization reported approximately 10.6 million cases of tuberculosis globally in 2022, affecting millions across different demographics. Thus, the surge in infectious diseases is propelling the primary care POC diagnostics market forward.
Leading companies in the primary care POC diagnostics market are concentrating on advanced technological solutions, such as portable point-of-care RT-PCR systems, to optimize their market revenue. These systems, designed for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests outside traditional laboratories, offer mobility and compactness. For instance, Genes2Me Pvt. Ltd. introduced the Rapi-Q Point of Care RT PCR solution in October 2022, featuring an eight-well block design with four fluorescent channels, claimed to deliver rapid results in under 45 minutes. Portable and lightweight, the Rapi-Q system is suitable for various settings such as hospitals, blood banks, health clinics, research laboratories, and airports. It boasts high sensitivity, accuracy, and performance in disease detection, compatible with over 50 lyophilized, room-temperature disease detection kits.
In February 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based biotechnology firm, acquired Mesa Biotech Inc. for about $450 million, bolstering its molecular diagnostics capabilities, particularly in POC testing, and enhancing its portfolio of infectious disease diagnostic solutions. Mesa Biotech Inc., a US-based molecular diagnostic company, specializes in primary care point-of-care tests and platforms.
