Middle East Antinuclear Antibody Test Summary
The Middle East antinuclear antibody test market size was valued at USD 36.35 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 113.83 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2025 to 2033. The rising prevalence of autoimmune disorders, adoption of advanced testing technologies, increasing healthcare expenditure, and supportive government initiatives are major factors expected to propel market growth. For instance, according to the Saudi Medical Journal, in Saudi Arabia, a 2023 study of 2,258 patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) found that 67.4% of those had one or more additional autoimmune disorders (thyroiditis, celiac disease, adrenal insufficiency, polyglandular syndromes) across children, adolescents, and adults.
Furthermore, given the growing epidemiologic burden, healthcare infrastructure and government policies in the Gulf and Middle East region are strongly driving diagnostics market growth. For example, Saudi Arabia is undertaking a major expansion and modernization of its healthcare system under Vision 2030, which includes substantial government investment in new hospitals and healthcare centers, as well as the promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs). The healthcare system spans primary, secondary, and tertiary care, delivered through the Ministry of Health network alongside other government and private facilities. Key initiatives focus on digital health integration, the development of specialty clinics, and increased hospital bed capacity to accommodate population growth and rising life expectancy.
Moreover, the expansion of private diagnostic networks and the growth of specialized laboratories in major urban centers are further accelerating market development across the region. The increasing presence of private-sector players equipped with advanced laboratory infrastructure, automated immunoassay systems, and molecular testing platforms has significantly enhanced accessibility to autoimmune diagnostics. Cities such as Riyadh, Dubai, Doha, and Kuwait City have witnessed the establishment of high-capacity reference laboratories and specialist centers offering comprehensive autoimmune panels, contributing to faster turnaround times and improved clinical decision-making.
In addition, the rise of medical tourism and cross-border diagnostic demand is emerging as a significant growth catalyst. The Middle East, particularly the Gulf states and the United Arab Emirates, has established itself as a regional healthcare hub, attracting patients from Africa, South Asia, and neighboring Arab countries who seek advanced and affordable diagnostic and treatment services. This trend not only drives demand for specialized autoimmune testing but also encourages collaboration between regional healthcare providers and international diagnostic firms, promoting the transfer of technology and the adoption of global testing standards. Furthermore, the geriatric population is more prone to autoimmune disorders because aging is associated with gradual changes in the immune system, a phenomenon known as immunosenescence, so increasing the geriatric population is burgeoning market growth. Below is the tabular representation of growing geriatric populations.
