The global C-reactive protein testing market size was estimated at USD 5.27 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 6.08 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 1.64% from 2025 to 2033, due to the increasing demand for precision medicine. C-reactive protein is an acute-phase reactant whose levels rise during the early stage of a disease condition, leading to inflammation in the body.
The increasing burden of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions is a major driver of the market. In addition, technological advancements in CRP testing, such as innovations in diagnostic techniques, accuracy of the tests, and ease of accessibility contribute to the major drivers for this market.
The development of point-of-care (POC) CRP testing has transformed disease diagnosis by allowing for quick, on-site testing in clinics, pharmacies, and even home-care environments. These advancements have improved the efficiency of healthcare delivery by shortening result turnaround times and facilitating quicker clinical decision-making. As the demand for personalized medicine increases, technological advancements in CRP testing are anticipated to further propel market growth by enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining diagnostic procedures. According to a report in July 2024, Cornell University proposed an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based sensor for real-time, fast, and sensitive detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) in interstitial fluid (ISF) using minimally invasive microneedle arrays. This sensor, which could be integrated into a wearable device similar to continuous glucose monitoring, offers a non-invasive, affordable, and simple method for CRP detection.
CRP testing serves as an essential tool for early diagnosis of infections, cardiovascular conditions, and inflammatory disorders, allowing for timely medical intervention. Governments and healthcare organizations around the globe are actively encouraging regular screening programs to detect individuals at risk before serious complications develop. In addition, growing health awareness among individuals has resulted in a higher demand for preventive diagnostic tests, such as CRP testing, as part of regular health check-ups. The shift towards preventive healthcare and early disease detection has been a key factor driving the CRP testing market. As healthcare systems prioritize lowering long-term treatment expenses and enhancing patient outcomes, the early detection of inflammation-related diseases has become increasingly crucial. The increasing focus on proactive health management will further accelerate the adoption of CRP testing in various healthcare settings.
One of the key drivers for expansion in the market for C reactive protein testing is the increasing adoption of these tests and expanding their application in emerging markets. As chronic diseases become more prevalent in these regions due to lifestyle changes, urbanization, and aging populations, the demand for affordable and accessible diagnostic solutions is growing. CRP testing is becoming a standard component of primary healthcare screenings, especially in regions with high rates of infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders. The expansion of diagnostic laboratory services, along with the growing availability of point-of-care testing in rural and underserved areas, is expected to further drive the market in these regions. As healthcare systems in emerging markets continue to advance, the demand for CRP testing will continue to rise, fueling global market growth.
Beyond technological advancements, CRP testing continues to be integral in clinical research applications. For example, in August 2024, a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Companies utilized hsCRP (high sensitive) measurements to assess cardiovascular risks in women. The findings suggest that evaluating hsCRP levels starting in a woman's 30s can better predict future cardiovascular events, highlighting the importance of early intervention and personalized healthcare strategies. These developments underscore the dynamic nature of CRP testing, reflecting its expanding role in both market growth and clinical practice.
