STD Diagnostics Global Market Report 2026

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) diagnostics encompass the examination and identification of infectious conditions transmitted through sexual contact. These diagnostic procedures are essential in determining the presence of STDs within an individual.

The primary categories of STD diagnostics include chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus, chancroid, and other tests performed in laboratory and point-of-care settings. Chlamydia testing involves a urine sample analysis to detect infection. This specific test is employed for identifying chlamydia infections, a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmitted through various forms of sexual contact or genital exposure. These STD diagnostic procedures find application in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and homecare settings.

Tariffs are influencing the std diagnostics market by increasing costs of imported reagents, assay kits, diagnostic instruments, and molecular testing components used in laboratory and point-of-care settings. Healthcare providers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported test kits, while Asia-Pacific faces higher manufacturing and export costs. These tariffs are raising testing prices and affecting screening program budgets. At the same time, they are supporting local reagent production, domestic diagnostic manufacturing, and regional supply chain strengthening.

The std diagnostics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.77 billion in 2025 to $11.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, expansion of diagnostic laboratory infrastructure, growing public health screening programs, rising awareness of sexual health, availability of advanced nucleic acid testing.

The std diagnostics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for rapid diagnostics, rising adoption of home-based testing kits, expansion of molecular diagnostics penetration, growing investments in public health surveillance, increasing focus on confidential and accessible testing services. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of rapid and point-of-care std tests, rising use of molecular diagnostic technologies, growing integration of automated laboratory systems, expansion of at-home std testing solutions, enhanced focus on early and accurate disease detection.

The increasing incidence of sexually transmitted diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the STD diagnostics sector in the coming years. Sexually transmitted diseases are infections spread primarily through sexual contact and require timely medical testing and clinical management. The rising burden of these infections is largely attributed to higher levels of sexual activity and evolving social behaviors among younger populations, where reduced stigma around sexual health and increased mobility have contributed to broader sexual networks and elevated transmission risks. This growing prevalence directly fuels demand for diagnostic solutions, as healthcare providers increasingly rely on precise laboratory assays, screening tools, and advanced detection technologies to identify infections early and limit further spread. For example, in September 2025, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that cases of congenital syphilis increased for the twelfth consecutive year, reaching nearly 4,000 reported cases in 2024. As a result, the rising prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases is contributing significantly to the growth of STD diagnostics.

Key companies in the STD diagnostics market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as real-time PCR kits, to meet unmet medical needs and improve diagnostic capabilities. A real-time PCR kit consists of a collection of reagents utilized for conducting real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), a sensitive and commonly employed technique for detecting and quantifying specific nucleic acid sequences. For instance, in March 2023, Jiangsu Bioperfectus Technologies Co. Ltd., a China-based research and development company, introduced the Mycoplasma Hominis Real Time PCR Kit and the Treponema Pallidum Real Time PCR Kit, specifically designed for detecting Mycoplasma hominis and Treponema pallidum. These kits offer high sensitivity and specificity, user-friendliness, rapid turnaround times, and the capability to detect multiple pathogens in a single test.
