The global primary care POC diagnostics market size is expected to reach USD 26.17 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.., registering a 6.5% CAGR during the forecast period. Flexible and forward-thinking core molecular labs have been embracing and supporting the use of POC tests to move screening of many common targets to hospital receiving rooms and physicians' offices.
As per a study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Pathology in 2014, it was found that POC testing improved clinical operations for manufacturers by reducing follow-up calls and letters of patients by 85.0% and 89.0%, respectively, and reducing their follow-up visits by 61.0%. It was also observed that the number of tests ordered decreased by 21.0%.
Furthermore, rise in the number of tests receiving a waived status under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) is anticipated to aid market growth. Researchers and manufacturers are increasingly recommending these tests owing to cost reduction of about USD 12-15 per patient and reduction in follow up tests by about 50.0%. However, there is a massive overlap between different methods and their areas of usage. For instance, panels to measure glucose and quick international normalized ratio tests were originally meant for self-testing but are now used in hospitals and primary settings instead.
