A cholesterol test involves analyzing blood to measure the levels of cholesterol and other lipids present. Cholesterol, a waxy, fat-such as substance, is essential in small amounts for maintaining overall health.
The primary cholesterol test products include test kits, test strips, and other related items. Test kits are devices designed to monitor or detect specific chemical residues or attributes in an individual's blood. Cholesterol test kits are particularly convenient for home use, enabling individuals to monitor their cholesterol levels without the need for a visit to a healthcare facility. The various types of cholesterol tests include total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides or very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol tests. These cholesterol test products are distributed through over-the-counter and prescription-based channels, reaching various end-users such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, and other healthcare facilities.
The cholesterol test market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cholesterol test market statistics, including cholesterol test industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cholesterol test market share, detailed cholesterol test market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cholesterol test industry. This cholesterol test 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 cholesterol test market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.31 billion in 2023 to $9.1 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to increased awareness of cardiovascular diseases, ongoing research on heart health, the effectiveness of public health campaigns, recommendations from physicians, and efforts in patient education.
The cholesterol test market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of cholesterol testing in corporate wellness programs, the influence of precision nutrition, a rise in health-conscious consumerism, the integration of genetic testing, and a shift towards personalized medicine. Key trends in the forecast period include the development of cholesterol-targeted therapies, increased integration with health apps, the emergence of cholesterol education platforms, the expansion of comprehensive lipid panels, and the growth of point-of-care testing.
The escalation in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to significantly drive the expansion of the cholesterol test market. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a spectrum of heart and blood vessel conditions, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and aortic disease. The use of cholesterol tests plays a pivotal role by providing crucial insights into an individual's risk of developing heart disease. For instance, as reported in April 2023 by the World Heart Federation, the global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to affect over 500 million individuals worldwide. This health burden resulted in approximately 20.5 million fatalities in 2021, constituting nearly one-third of total global mortality. This marked increase from previous estimates underscores the urgency in addressing cardiovascular diseases, thereby propelling the demand for cholesterol tests.
The burgeoning aging population is poised to be a significant catalyst for the growth of the cholesterol test market in the foreseeable future. An aging population denotes a demographic shift characterized by a rising proportion of elderly individuals within a society. As part of proactive healthcare strategies, the aging population extensively utilizes cholesterol tests to effectively manage cardiovascular health and mitigate the risks associated with age-related ailments. This trend aligns with a preventative healthcare approach aimed at promoting overall well-being. As highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022, the global population aged 60 years and older is experiencing rapid growth, projected to double by 2050, reaching a staggering 2.1 billion individuals. Consequently, the expanding aging demographic emerges as a significant driver in fueling the growth trajectory of the cholesterol test market.
Technological advancements are significantly shaping the landscape of the cholesterol test market, with prominent companies and research institutions actively driving innovation for more cost-effective, efficient, and advanced testing solutions. For instance, in November 2022, Ural Federal University (UrFU), a Russian-based institution, unveiled a cutting-edge microfluidic chip. This sensor device, fabricated via 3D printing, integrates all system elements required for measuring blood cholesterol levels. The novel sensor technology employed in this chip remarkably reduces the necessary blood volume for cholesterol level identification. The analysis involves placing blood in an analyzing chip containing an acetonitrile-based copper chloride solution. Equipped with an electrode connected to a voltametric analyzer, this innovation utilizes magnetic nanoparticles integrated with polymers featuring molecular imprints. These imprints selectively absorb cholesterol, effectively filtering out other essential blood elements, thereby expediting analysis results.
Major entities within the cholesterol test market are actively pioneering innovative solutions, including MOT diagnostic tests, to advance cholesterol testing methodologies. For instance, Goodbody Health Ltd., a UK-based healthcare company, introduced its Health 'MOT' diagnostic test in May 2022. This comprehensive diagnostic evaluation offers an inclusive summary of an individual's health status and includes pioneering in-clinic tests for diabetes and cholesterol. Providing rapid results within minutes, these tests assess an individual's risk of developing cardiac health issues or diabetes over the subsequent decade. This innovative approach significantly enhances the efficiency and scope of cholesterol testing, contributing to more holistic health assessments.
In January 2023, South Korea-based diagnostics reagents company SD Biosensor, Inc., and Korean private equity investment firm SJL Partners successfully acquired Meridian Bioscience, Inc. for $1.53 billion. This strategic acquisition is geared towards enhancing Meridian Bioscience, Inc's ability to meet the growing demand for diagnostic testing services and to innovate new solutions. By leveraging SD Biosensor's industry experience and complementary capabilities, Meridian Bioscience, Inc aims to strengthen its position in the market. As a U.S.-based life science company, Meridian Bioscience, Inc specializes in manufacturing, marketing, and selling novel diagnostic devices, particularly in the areas of cholesterol and cardiac testing.
