Point-of-care diagnostic market was valued at $44,240 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $85,737 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2035. The rise in chronic diseases, rapid emergency diagnosis, elderly population, technological advancements, infectious disease testing, home healthcare trends, and government support are driving these changes.

High Prevalence of Infectious Diseases
The rise in infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and COVID-19 has fueled a surge in demand for rapid diagnostics, leading to market growth in portable, low-cost, and fast diagnostics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in March 2025, HIV continues to be a significant global health challenge, with approximately 42.3 million lives lost to date and ongoing transmission globally. Additionally, in 2023, across 39.9 million individuals were living with HIV, with 65% residing in the WHO African Region. In 2023, there were an estimated 630,000 HIV-related deaths and 1.3 million new infections. While there is no cure, effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment have made HIV a manageable chronic condition, allowing individuals to lead healthy lives. Global strategies by the WHO, the Global Fund, and UNAIDS aim to end the epidemic by 2030, targeting 95% diagnosis, treatment, and viral suppression rates by 2025. As of 2023, 86% knew their status, 77% were on antiretroviral therapy, and 72% had suppressed viral loads.
Global Health Initiatives & Regulatory Support
Governments are boosting market growth by prioritizing access to essential diagnostics, especially in low- and middle-income countries, through prequalification and global health procurement frameworks. For instance, in April 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) expands the prequalification scope of in vitro diagnostics, including monitoring blood glucose in capillary blood and HbA1c point-of-care assays, promoting safer and more accurate diagnostics. The World Health Assembly developed prequalification technical specifications for in vitro diagnostic medical devices for high-burden infectious diseases such as HIV, malaria, and hepatitis, with 113 IVDs currently prequalified. The demand for high-quality diagnostics is growing, particularly in the context of diabetes, a global public health issue with 420 million individuals living with it.
Over-The-Counter (OTC) Testing: A Key Segment in Market Growth
Over-the-counter testing is a diagnostic method that provides immediate results, such as COVID-19 tests, without a doctor's prescription. Home OTC COVID-19 testing is FDA-approved for self-testing, with fast results, ease, early diagnosis, and public health monitoring. The tests are easy to perform, have quick results, and can be performed from home or other remote locations. It can additionally be used for other diseases, such as pregnancy and cholesterol testing. The FDA encourages voluntary reporting of test results. The market growth of OTC diagnostic tests is influenced by rising health awareness and demand for home-based care, consumerization, and FDA authorizations. For instance, in February 2025, Aptitude Medical Systems, Inc. received FDA authorization for the Metrix COVID/Flu Multiplex Molecular Test for Point-of-Care and Over-the-Counter Use. The test can detect and differentiate COVID, Flu A, and Flu B in 20 minutes, and can be used in home and CLIA-waived settings. The test is the second FDA-authorized molecular test on the platform, aiming to provide actionable lab-quality results for various health and wellness conditions.
Regional Outlook
The global point-of-care diagnostic market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Decentralization of Healthcare in Asia-Pacific
The decentralization of healthcare is boosting market growth, especially in rural and underserved areas, as POC tests facilitate quicker diagnosis and treatment. For instance, in May 2024, Cipla invested up to Rs. 26 crore ($3.1 million) in Achira Labs, a company specializing in developing and commercializing point-of-care medical test kits in India.
North America Region Dominates the Market with Major Share
North America holds a significant share, owing to the rise in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses is driving the demand for portable diagnostic tools for early detection and management. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in February 2024, the US, approximately 129 million individuals live with at least one major chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, or hypertension, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. Five out of the ten leading causes of death in the country are linked to preventable and treatable chronic conditions. As the prevalence of these diseases has been rising steadily over the past two decades, it is anticipated that this trend will persist, with 42% of Americans experiencing two or more chronic conditions and 12% coping with at least five. Chronic diseases significantly burden the US health care system, accounting for roughly 90% of the annual $4.1 trillion expenditure on health care and mental health conditions.
The major companies operating in the global point-of-care diagnostic market include Abbott Laboratories, Danaher Corp., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Siemens Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
