Immunoassay is a bioanalytical test that utilizes the binding of antibodies to antigens to detect and quantify specific chemicals, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis of diseases. Information derived from immunoassay test results can be used to establish appropriate courses of therapy. This method relies on a competitive binding reaction between a limited number of receptors on a highly specific anti-analyte antibody, labeled versions of an analyte, and a significant portion of an unlabeled sample analyte.
The main types of immunoassay products include reagents and kits, analyzers or instruments, and software and services. Reagents are substances or products that accelerate a reaction and are commonly used in various tests. Immunoassay specimens include blood, saliva, urine, and others, and the technique is applied in therapeutic drug monitoring, oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, infectious disease testing, autoimmune diseases, and more. The end users of immunoassay products are diverse and include research and academic laboratories, home care settings, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, Contract Research Organizations (CROs), blood banks, hospitals and clinics, and clinical laboratories.
The immunoassay market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides immunoassay market statistics, including immunoassay industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a immunoassay market share, detailed immunoassay market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the immunoassay industry. This immunoassay 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 immunoassay market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $35.81 billion in 2024 to $37.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to disease prevalence, aging population, infectious disease outbreaks, point-of-care testing, increased research funding.
The immunoassay market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $50.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine, expansion in emerging markets, pandemic preparedness, cancer diagnostics, shift to home-based testing. Major trends in the forecast period include regulatory harmonization efforts, multipurpose immunoassays, customized assay services, integration with wearable devices, and miniaturization of assays.
The growing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the immunoassay market in the near future. Chronic illnesses are generally defined as conditions that last for a year or longer, require ongoing medical attention, restrict daily activities, or both. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Numerous organisms coexist within and on the human body, and several infectious diseases can be transmitted from one person to another. Immunoassays are utilized to detect various infectious and chronic diseases. For example, a report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US-based biomedical research agency, stated that in 2023, the number of individuals aged 50 and older in the United States with at least one chronic illness is projected to increase by 99.5%, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050. Moreover, the number of people with multimorbidity is expected to rise by 91.16%, from 7.8304 million in 2020 to 14.968 million by 2050. Therefore, the increasing incidence of infectious and chronic diseases is driving market growth.
Government-led research and development initiatives in healthcare are anticipated to support the growth of the immunoassay market in the future. These initiatives refer to specific actions, programs, policies, or projects undertaken by government authorities at various levels-local, regional, national, or international-to tackle specific issues, achieve certain objectives, or foster positive changes in society. Such initiatives have aimed at improving access to diagnostic testing, enhancing healthcare quality, and addressing public health challenges, thereby driving demand for immunoassays. For instance, in 2022, the Department of Health and Social Care, a UK government authority, announced £260 million (US$270.65 million) in funding to enhance healthcare research and manufacturing. This commitment, made by BEIS and DHSC, was aimed at supporting NHS-led health research into diagnostics and treatment through new privacy-preserving platforms and clinical research services, along with £60 million (US$63.60 million) to aid in expanding life sciences manufacturing in the UK. Consequently, the growth of government initiatives in healthcare is driving the immunoassay market.
A key trend gaining momentum is product innovation, with major companies striving to strengthen their market position through cutting-edge offerings. For instance, Getein Biotech Inc., a China-based biotechnological company, introduced the MAGICL 6000 at MEDICA 2022. This portable chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer is designed for labs with mid- to high-workflow requirements, providing a one-step chemiluminescence solution. The instrument stands out for its efficiency, compact size, complete automation, and rapid assessment frequency, offering a technologically advanced option for diagnostic laboratories.
Major players in the immunoassay market are introducing innovative immunoassay analyzers to gain a competitive advantage. These analyzers automate the detection and quantification of biological molecules, such as proteins or hormones, through immunological reactions. Beckman Coulter Diagnostics launched the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer in May 2023, addressing the needs of clinical laboratories for speed, reliability, reproducibility, and expanded menu options. The analyzer incorporates advanced features such as new analyte processing and detection technology, precision sensors, smart algorithms, and remote real-time system monitoring. Its distinctive feature includes no daily maintenance, enhancing its efficiency in diagnostic workflows.
In January 2023, Heska Corporation, a US-based biotechnology firm, acquired MBio Diagnostics, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Heska Corporation's research, development, and manufacturing capabilities, primarily by incorporating LightDeck's innovative point-of-care technology.
