COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables serve the purpose of identifying the novel COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and utilize a laboratory technique known as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the virus's genetic material.
The market for COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables is segmented into various categories. Kits include viral load testing kits such as qPCR and RT-PCR, virus-neutralizing assay kits, antibody detection kits (ELISA), viral antigen detection test kits, and other variants. Consumables comprise items like swabs, tubes, viral transfer media, reagents, and other consumables. Additionally, specimen types for testing encompass nose and throat swabs, blood samples, sputum, nasal aspirate, and similar materials. These test kits and consumables cater to diverse end-users, including hospitals, clinics, public health laboratories, private and commercial labs, physician labs, research institutes, and other entities involved in the diagnosis and monitoring of COVID-19 infections.

The COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.79 billion in 2024 to $8.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to high prevalence of COVID-19, rising demand for early detection and diagnosis, increasing government support, growing awareness of the importance of testing, expanding reimbursement coverage.
The COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for point-of-care testing, ongoing need for testing, emerging variants, vaccination campaigns, international travel and border controls. Major trends in the forecast period include multiplex testing, home testing kits, digital health integration, antibody tests for immunity.
The surge in demand for cost-effective and rapid COVID-19 detection kits, along with streamlined regulatory processes, has significantly bolstered the COVID-19 detection kits and consumables market. The global outbreak of COVID-19, designated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the WHO, prompted a push for point-of-care diagnostics like Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RTDs). These tests, endorsed by the WHO, facilitate quick, on-site testing by minimally trained staff, delivering results within 15 minutes. Regulatory bodies like the US FDA responded by expediting approvals, allowing swift market introduction of COVID-19 detection kits. Consequently, the escalating global cases and the imperative for rapid diagnosis fuel the escalating demand for these efficient and accessible kits, steering the market's growth.
The rise in government initiatives is projected to drive the growth of the COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables market in the future. Government initiatives encompass actions and programs implemented by authorities to tackle specific challenges, achieve certain goals, or enhance the well-being of the population. These initiatives play a crucial role in fostering an environment conducive to the effective use of COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables, aiding the global efforts to manage and mitigate the pandemic's impact. For example, a report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in December 2023 revealed that U.S. healthcare spending increased by 4.1% to reach $4.5 trillion in 2022, outpacing the 3.2% growth seen in 2021. As a result, the rise in government initiatives is propelling the growth of the COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables market.
CRISPR technology has revolutionized COVID-19 diagnostics, with the emergence of rapid diagnostic tests running on nasal swabs. Sherlock Biosciences received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the US FDA for its CRISPR-based test, marking a breakthrough as the first FDA-authorized CRISPR technology in the market. Mammoth Biosciences is also actively involved in the development of this innovative diagnostic technology.
Leading companies in the COVID-19 detection test kits and consumables market are increasingly pursuing strategic partnerships to deliver essential communication services to individuals, businesses, and governments. Strategic partnerships involve companies utilizing each other's strengths and resources to achieve shared benefits and success. For example, in May 2022, Cipla Limited, a pharmaceutical company based in India, collaborated with Genes2Me Pvt. Ltd. to introduce the 'RT-Direct' multiplex COVID-19 RT-PCR test kit. This innovative diagnostic tool employs a unique RNA extraction-free process, significantly cutting the testing time down to just 45 minutes. The kit targets three specific genes associated with SARS-CoV-2, improving the test's sensitivity. With this launch, Cipla aims to enhance its diagnostics portfolio and facilitate COVID-19 testing across India.
