Enzyme immunoassay is a highly sensitive laboratory technique that utilizes antibodies conjugated with enzymes to specifically identify and quantify target molecules such as proteins, hormones, or infectious agents within a sample. The method is based on an enzymatic reaction that generates a detectable signal-often a color change-which correlates directly with the concentration of the analyte, enabling accurate diagnostic or research analysis.
The primary product types in enzyme immunoassay include reagents and kits, analyzers or instruments, and software and services. Reagents and kits consist of chemical substances or pre-packaged sets of chemicals used in laboratory and clinical testing to detect, measure, or process other substances. These products accommodate various specimen types, such as blood, saliva, urine, and others, and support a wide array of applications, including therapeutic drug monitoring, oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, infectious disease detection, autoimmune disease testing, and more. They serve a broad range of end users, including hospitals, blood banks, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic research centers, and other institutions.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The enzyme immunoassay market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides enzyme immunoassay market statistics, including enzyme immunoassay industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an enzyme immunoassay market share, detailed enzyme immunoassay market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the enzyme immunoassay industry. This enzyme immunoassay 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 enzyme immunoassay market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.01 billion in 2024 to $21.50 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, the expansion of blood screening programs, advancements in laboratory infrastructure, the growing application of enzyme immunoassays in food safety testing, and the rising demand for veterinary diagnostics.
The enzyme immunoassay market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government and NGO-driven disease control initiatives, the emergence of autoimmune disease detection, increased adoption of point-of-care testing, rising demand for companion diagnostics in oncology, and a growing geriatric population. Key trends anticipated during this period include technological advancements in microplate readers and reagents, the introduction of innovative diagnostic technologies, development of environmentally friendly reagents, integration of AI and automation into immunoassay processes, and an increase in strategic collaborations and partnerships.
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the enzyme immunoassay market. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can be transmitted between individuals. The burden of these diseases is growing due to rising antimicrobial resistance, which complicates treatment, extends recovery times, raises healthcare costs, and leads to increased mortality. Enzyme immunoassays are essential tools for diagnosing infectious diseases, offering sensitive and specific detection of antigens or antibodies in patient samples. This facilitates early diagnosis, effective monitoring, and timely treatment for conditions such as HIV, hepatitis, and influenza. For example, in April 2025, the Minnesota Department of Health, a US-based government agency, reported that the proportion of HIV cases among males aged 35 to 39 increased from 10% in 2023 to 17% in 2024, reflecting a significant rise in this demographic. As a result, the increasing burden of infectious diseases is contributing to the expansion of the enzyme immunoassay market.
Leading companies in the enzyme immunoassay market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions, such as fully automated enzyme immunoassays, to boost diagnostic accuracy, reduce human error, and improve workflow efficiency in clinical laboratories. Fully automated enzyme immunoassays streamline the entire testing process, enhancing the speed, precision, and reliability of laboratory diagnostics. For instance, in July 2024, Fujirebio Holdings Inc., a Japan-based in vitro diagnostics company, introduced the fully automated Lumipulse G GFAP assay for research use only (RUO), expanding its neuro-biomarker product line. This chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay measures glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels in human plasma and serum using the LUMIPULSE G platform, delivering results within 35 minutes. GFAP is an astrocytic biomarker associated with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. This new assay complements Fujirebio's neurodegenerative disease portfolio, which already includes markers like NfL, pTau217, and sTREM2, supporting comprehensive profiling on a single automated platform.
In January 2025, Medix Biochemica, a Finland-based supplier of raw materials for in vitro diagnostics, acquired CANDOR Bioscience GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Medix Biochemica's position as a leading global provider in the IVD industry by expanding its portfolio with CANDOR's specialized expertise in high-performance blockers and assay optimization reagents. These technologies support improved performance in enzyme immunoassays and enable more robust diagnostic test development. CANDOR Bioscience GmbH is a Germany-based biotechnology company that focuses on optimizing immunoassay systems, including enzyme immunoassays and ELISA development.
