The global in vitro diagnostic (IVD) market was valued at $63.5 billion in 2019, and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period (2020–2030). This growth is primarily attributed to the stringent regulations regarding blood safety and sample contamination, surging burden of chronic diseases, increasing number of blood donors, advancements in the IVD technology, increasing healthcare expenditure, and surging number of hospitals and academic institutions.
COVID-19 has imposed a strong positive impact on the growth of the in vitro diagnostic market, primarily due to the increasing number of IVD tests, especially COVID tests, around the world. Patients hospitalized for the treatment of COVID-19 may require many other IVD tests for regular monitoring, or if they have a history of any other chronic disease. Moreover, the continued operations of private and reference laboratories during the lockdown have helped the market maintain its growth, globally.
In 2019, the reagents & kits category led the global in vitro diagnostic market, based on offering. This was because of the rising number of laboratory tests on account of the increasing cases of chronic and infectious diseases. Further, the use of IVD testing in the ongoing research activities and the increasing IVD product launches are driving their adoption and boosting the growth of the industry.
The clinical chemistry category dominated the in vitro diagnostic market in 2019, based on technology. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, availability of a broad range of clinical chemistry kits, and presence of a large number of players in this field are some of the major factors driving the growth of this category.
Infectious diseases have emerged as the largest-revenue-generating category among all the application in the global market. Owing to the fact that infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, the diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. The category is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the global prevalence of infectious diseases, such as influenza, HPV, hepatitis, HIV, and tuberculosis, is considerably high in spite of significant improvements in sanitation practices and medicine.
The laboratories category is predicted to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period in the in vitro diagnostic market, based on end user. This is attributed to the increasing number of laboratories, including private laboratories, company, and industrial laboratories and laboratories in hospitals and clinics. Moreover, the rising patient population and growing accessibility of the advanced IVD technology are resulting in the growing usage of IVD tests in laboratories.
North America is expected to lead the global in vitro diagnostic market throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to the strong presence of market players, high healthcare spending, and increasing research and development (R&D) activities in the region. Furthermore, the extended support of the government and rapid adoption of advanced screening tests, such as nucleic acid testing (NAT), are propelling the market in the region. According to the Canadian Blood Services, NAT has been implemented in Canada for providing Canadians with a safer blood supply, by detecting viral genetic material in the donor blood, in case of infection.
The in vitro diagnostic market in the APAC region is projected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forest period. One of the major factors driving the market growth in the region is the presence of key players and their engagement in strategic development activities to attain a significant market position. For instance, in October 2019, Abbott Laboratories announced that the Australian Red Cross Blood Service (Australian Blood Service) signed a multi-year agreement for the company’s blood and plasma screening technology, Alinity system. The agreement also included Abbott Laboratories’ total lab automation solution, as well as its informatics and professional services.

Several companies have recently gained approvals for their IVD products, thereby creating a significant impact on the in vitro diagnostic market. For instance, in January 2019, in the point-of-care (POC) segment, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Sangia total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test by OPKO Health Inc. It quantitatively measures the total PSA in capillary whole blood. It has been approved for use with the digital rectal exam (DRE), to screen for prostate cancer in men 50 years and older. The test can be administered with a finger prick, and results are generated within 12 minutes.
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Atlas 9th edition, in 2019, in the age group 20–64, 352 million people had diabetes, and this number is expected to rise to 486 million by 2045. Moreover, according to the WHO, the death count of cancer was 9.6 million in 2018. Moreover, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the incidence of HIV/AIDS was 37.9 million people, worldwide, in 2018. Therefore, the increasing number of chronic disease patients is leading to the rising demand for IVD testing, which is resulting in the growth of the in vitro diagnostic market.
According to the WHO, in 2018, 118.4 million units of blood were collected through donations, globally. Moreover, it was reported that there were about 13,300 blood centers in 169 countries, and about 106 million blood donations were reported. Additionally, more than 90% of the blood supply in 79 countries was from voluntary unpaid blood donations, and more than 50% of the blood supply in 56 countries was from paid blood donors. Thus, the rising number of blood donors would help in the in vitro diagnostic market growth.
