C-reactive protein (CRP) testing is a diagnostic procedure that assesses the concentration of CRP in the bloodstream, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. In cases of injury or infection, the body initiates inflammation as a protective mechanism. CRP testing is primarily employed to identify inflammation resulting from infections.
The primary assay methods utilized in the CRP testing market include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA), and immunoturbidimetric assays. ELISA, for instance, is a technique employed to quantitatively measure human CRP levels in serum, aiding in the monitoring of conditions such as rheumatic fever and inflammatory processes. ELISA serves as a biological assay focusing on the measurement of antibodies, antigens, proteins, and glycoproteins. CRP testing is widely applied in clinical settings, hospitals, and diagnostic laboratories, contributing to the diagnosis and monitoring of various conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, and others.
Tariffs are influencing the c-reactive protein testing market by increasing costs of imported reagents, assay kits, analyzers, and diagnostic instrumentation used across elisa, clia, and immunoturbidimetric platforms. Diagnostic laboratories and hospitals in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported testing systems, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures on reagent supply chains. These tariffs are raising operational costs and impacting test pricing. At the same time, they are encouraging local reagent manufacturing, regional analyzer assembly, and domestic diagnostic technology development.
The c-reactive protein testing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides c-reactive protein testing market statistics, including c-reactive protein testing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a c-reactive protein testing market share, detailed c-reactive protein testing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the c-reactive protein testing industry. This c-reactive protein testing 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 c-reactive protein testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.52 billion in 2025 to $3.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of inflammatory diseases, rising use of crp testing in clinical diagnostics, expansion of hospital laboratory infrastructure, growing awareness of early disease detection, availability of standardized assay kits.
The c-reactive protein testing market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for point-of-care inflammatory testing, rising integration of automated diagnostics platforms, expansion of preventive healthcare screening, growing adoption of high-throughput laboratory systems, increasing focus on personalized medicine diagnostics. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-sensitivity crp assays, rising use of automated immunoassay systems, growing demand for rapid inflammation diagnostics, expansion of crp testing in cardiovascular risk assessment, enhanced focus on laboratory workflow automation.
The rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD) cases is expected to drive the growth of the C-reactive protein testing market. Cardiovascular diseases encompass heart conditions such as diseased vessels, structural issues, and blood clots. While the exact cause of CVD is not fully understood, several factors can increase the risk of developing it. One significant factor is behavioral risk, stemming from poor diet, insufficient physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, which leads to the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heightens the risk of blood clots. These behavioral risks contribute to elevated blood pressure, glucose levels, blood lipids, weight gain, and obesity. As CVD cases rise, there is an increasing demand for C-reactive protein testing to diagnose or predict the likelihood of cardiovascular issues, similar to cholesterol testing. For example, in December 2023, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reported that global deaths from cardiovascular diseases reached 19.8 million in 2022, with ischemic heart disease accounting for 108.8 deaths per 100,000 people. High systolic blood pressure was the leading contributor to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with CVD, while dietary risks and air pollution emerged as significant behavioral and environmental factors exacerbating this global issue.
Major players in the C-Reactive Protein testing market are focusing on technological advancements such as high-sensitivity automated immunoassays for more accurate, rapid, and low-level CRP detection, supporting early cardiovascular risk assessment and real-time inflammation monitoring. High-sensitivity automated immunoassays use refined immunoturbidimetric or nephelometric techniques to detect CRP levels far below standard assays, enabling earlier intervention and improved prognostic evaluation. In January 2024, Siemens Healthineers, a Germany-based in vitro diagnostics company, launched the Atellica CH High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein 2 (hCRP2) assay for its Atellica CH Analyzer. The system uses two ready-to-use reagent packs and measures light scattering caused by CRP-induced particle aggregation, providing rapid, quantitative results compatible with serum or plasma samples for timely clinical decision-making.
In July 2024, Roche, a Switzerland-based diagnostics company, acquired LumiraDx's point-of-care platform for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Roche seeks to enhance its CRP testing capabilities by incorporating LumiraDx's rapid, quantitative CRP assay into its diagnostics portfolio and expanding access to point-of-care immunoassays. LumiraDx is a UK-based company that offers a multi-assay point-of-care platform, including a microfluidic immunoassay for quantitative C-Reactive Protein testing.
