Urinary tract infection (UTI) testing devices are medical instruments designed to diagnose infections in the urinary system by identifying bacteria, white blood cells, or other indicators in urine samples. These devices vary from simple dipsticks and culture kits to more sophisticated automated analyzers, offering fast and precise results that help guide treatment decisions.
The primary types of UTI testing devices include instruments and kits. UTI testing kits are popular for their convenience and affordability, making them commonly used in point-of-care environments and for self-testing. The different types of tests include urinalysis, urine cultures, and susceptibility testing, and they are utilized by various end-users such as hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and other healthcare providers.
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 sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The urinary tract infection testing devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides urinary tract infection testing devices market statistics, including urinary tract infection testing devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a urinary tract infection testing devices market share, detailed urinary tract infection testing devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the urinary tract infection testing devices industry. This urinary tract infection testing devices 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 urinary tract infection testing devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.62 billion in 2024 to $0.66 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in disease burden, increasing incidence of urinary tract infection globally, high prevalence of diabetes in low and middle-income nations, growth in incidence of hospital-acquired urinary tract infection, increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infection.
The urinary tract infection testing devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed increasing at-home and self-testing kits, increasing preference for early diagnosis, and increasing urgency to combat antibiotic resistance. Major trends in the forecast period include AI and machine learning integration, at-home testing innovations, technological advancements, nanotechnology-based diagnostics, CRISPR-based diagnostic tools.
The forecast of 6.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for nitrite detection strips and automated urine culture plates, sourced from key regions such as France and South Korea, could lead to diagnostic delays and higher testing costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is expected to drive the growth of the urinary tract infection testing devices market. UTIs can affect any part of the urinary system, such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra, and are commonly caused by bacteria, with Escherichia coli being the most frequent pathogen. The rise in UTI cases is attributed to factors such as prolonged catheter use, poor hygiene practices, and growing antimicrobial resistance among hospitalized patients. UTI testing devices assist in the rapid and accurate diagnosis of UTIs, enabling healthcare providers to identify the causative bacteria and administer targeted treatments quickly. This helps reduce complications, improve patient outcomes, and limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance within healthcare environments. According to the University of New South Wales, a public research university in Australia, UTIs are widespread, with over 400 million cases reported globally each year. As a result, the rising incidence of UTIs is fueling the demand for urinary tract infection testing devices.
Leading companies in the UTI testing devices market are focusing on developing point-of-care (POC) testing devices that offer quicker, more convenient diagnoses, improving patient care. POC testing allows medical diagnostics to be performed at or near the patient's location, such as at a doctor's office, hospital bedside, or even at home, without the need for laboratory sample processing. For example, in June 2023, Sysmex Corporation, a Japanese company, introduced the PA-100 AST System, a point-of-care testing system for detecting antimicrobial susceptibility. This system can identify bacterial presence in urine and assess the effectiveness of antimicrobials in under 30 minutes. It provides results on bacterial growth in about 10 minutes and offers susceptibility test outcomes in less than 30 minutes, enabling healthcare professionals to conduct rapid tests on patients suspected of having UTIs.
In September 2022, Advanced MedTech, a Singapore-based medical device manufacturer, acquired a majority stake in Shenzhen Wikkon Medical Apparatus Co. Ltd., a Chinese company specializing in UTI testing devices. This acquisition, made for an undisclosed amount, was intended to expand Advanced MedTech's product portfolio and strengthen its market position by leveraging Wikkon's expertise in diagnostic equipment, enhancing its technological capabilities and competitive advantage in the healthcare industry.
