Breaking Barriers: Lateral Flow Assays Facilitate Healthcare in Remote Areas - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Lateral Flow Assay Market: Analysis by Product Type, Application, Technology, End User, and Region - Growth Trends and Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global lateral flow assay market has been experiencing consistent growth, driven by the increasing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases in both developing and developed countries. Rising demand for point-of-care testing (POCT), coupled with heightened awareness of infection prevention post-COVID-19, has accelerated the adoption of lateral flow assays (LFAs) in clinics and hospitals. The market value, which stood at US$10.01 billion in 2024, is projected to reach US$15.42 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.46% from 2025 to 2030.

The market is segmented by product type into kits & reagents and lateral flow readers. The kits & reagents segment leads due to their increased use in home settings, cost-effectiveness, and the growing trend of self-diagnosis. On the other hand, lateral flow readers are the fastest-growing segment, driven by technological advancements and integration with mobile applications for diagnostic testing.

By application, the market is divided into clinical testing, veterinary diagnostics, food safety & environmental testing, and drug development & quality testing. Notably, clinical testing retains the largest share as lateral flow assays are increasingly employed in clinical settings for detecting diseases and monitoring health conditions, particularly as the geriatric population expands and infectious diseases rise.

In terms of technology, sandwich assays dominate the market due to their rising demand in home healthcare diagnostics and research applications. Key regions include North America, which leads the market due to its robust healthcare infrastructure and high prevalence of infectious diseases, while Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region owing to its vast population and improving healthcare expenditure.

The market growth is driven by an aging population, the prevalence of infectious diseases, and the increasing adoption of home-based diagnostic kits. However, challenges such as stringent regulatory requirements and competition from alternative diagnostic technologies pose potential hurdles. Despite these challenges, trends like the integration of AI and biosensors in diagnostics and newer applications for lateral flow assays fuel optimism for market expansion.

The competitive landscape is characterized by large and medium-sized companies like F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Siemens Healthineers AG, and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., deploying both organic and inorganic strategies to bolster their market presence. An example is QuidelOrtho Corporation's recent De Novo request approval from the FDA for its Sofia 2 SARS Antigen+ FIA, further diversifying the lateral flow assay offerings.
