Hepatitis Diagnostic Tests Global Market Report 2024

The hepatitis diagnostic tests market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.35 billion in 2023 to $4.64 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed during the historic period in the field of hepatitis diagnostic tests can be attributed to several key factors. These include the globalization of healthcare, government initiatives aimed at improving diagnostic capabilities, the high disease burden associated with hepatitis infections, heightened measures for blood safety, and public health campaigns focused on raising awareness and encouraging testing. These factors collectively contributed to the expansion and adoption of hepatitis diagnostic tests during the historical period.

The hepatitis diagnostic tests market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.85 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for hepatitis diagnostic tests can be attributed to several key drivers. These include heightened concerns about global health security, population growth and urbanization trends, the implementation of tailored testing strategies, a strong emphasis on elimination programs for hepatitis, and the overall increase in healthcare spending worldwide. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in testing technologies, particularly in the field of molecular diagnostics, the development of multiplex testing for different hepatitis viruses, integration of digital health solutions for improved diagnostics and monitoring, and an increase in strategic collaborations and partnerships within the healthcare sector. These trends collectively contribute to the projected growth and evolution of hepatitis diagnostic testing in the coming period.

The rising number of blood transfusions and blood donations plays a crucial role in driving the growth of the hepatitis diagnostic test market. Blood transfusions and donations are intertwined processes where individuals willingly contribute blood that undergoes collection, rigorous testing, and subsequent administration to patients who require additional blood components due to various medical conditions, surgeries, accidents, or illnesses. To ensure the safety of recipients, hepatitis diagnostic tests are utilized to thoroughly screen donated blood, thereby reducing the risk of transmitting hepatitis through transfusions. For example, data from NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) in December 2021 indicated an increase in whole blood donations in the UK to 1,719,630 by 963,145 donors in 2021, compared to 1,649,057 by 933,705 donors in 2020. This rise in blood donations signifies an increased need for hepatitis diagnostic tests to maintain the safety and quality of donated blood, subsequently driving the hepatitis diagnostic test market.

The surge in hepatitis cases globally is another key factor propelling the growth of the hepatitis diagnostic tests market. Hepatitis, characterized by liver inflammation, poses significant health risks and can lead to various symptoms and complications. Accurate diagnostic tests for hepatitis are crucial in identifying and confirming the presence of hepatitis infections, enabling timely interventions and effective disease management. For instance, according to the Hepatitis B Foundation in 2023, an estimated 1.5 million people contract hepatitis infections annually, highlighting the persistent challenge posed by these diseases. The growing incidence of hepatitis underlines the critical importance of reliable diagnostic tests in early detection and management, thereby fueling the demand for hepatitis diagnostic tests in the market.

The projected impediment to the growth of the hepatitis diagnostic test market stems from the high cost associated with these tests. The considerable expenses related to hepatitis diagnostic procedures are a significant concern for both individuals and healthcare systems. This financial burden could lead to delayed diagnoses, insufficient monitoring, and escalated healthcare expenditures over time. As indicated by a report in April 2023 from the Lancet, the costs attributed to Hepatitis Diagnostic tests range from $890 to $1406, marking an increase of up to 35% compared to standard care treatments. Consequently, the exorbitant cost of these diagnostic tests stands as a hindrance to the market's expansion.

Dominant players in the hepatitis diagnostic test market are concentrating on innovating automated immunoassays, exemplified by the Elecsys HCV Duo, to enhance customer service reliability. Automated immunoassays represent laboratory techniques utilizing automated systems and specialized instruments to conduct various phases of the immunoassay process, encompassing sample handling, reagent mixing, incubation, detection, and result calculation. For instance, in July 2023, Roche Diagnostics India, a biotechnology research company based in India, introduced Elecsys HCV Duo. This advanced solution represents India's maiden fully automated immunoassay available commercially, facilitating the simultaneous and independent evaluation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigen and antibody levels from a single human plasma or serum sample. Moreover, this approach streamlines the diagnostic procedure, enabling single-specimen testing and potentially reducing the number of necessary follow-up visits, consequently alleviating the burden on healthcare systems.

In August 2021, BioCheck Inc., a US-based company specializing in diagnostic products, completed the acquisition of DRG International Inc. The exact amount of the acquisition remains undisclosed. This strategic move by BioCheck aims to expedite the accessibility of enhanced and dependable advanced clinical and research diagnostic tests designed for various diseases. DRG International Inc., another US-based entity acquired by BioCheck, is recognized for its repertoire of diagnostic tests, notably including those for hepatitis diagnostics.
