Location Type Segmentation Investigation

In year 2021, the laboratory-based screening segment accounted for the largest market share in the global drug of abusing testing market. One of the key requirements of laboratory-based drug of abuse test location is trained and skilled personnel to provide an accurate result along with in-depth analysis. In laboratory-based screening test, usually the test is reconfirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry or any other advanced techniques to provide accurate results. On the other hand, on-site drug screening test provides accurate results and it is generally preferred for those who take the drug test at home, workplace and educational institutions.

Test Type Segmentation Analysis

In base year 2021, the urine and oral fluid drug tests collectively attribute the largest share in the market in terms of revenue (USD). According to Quest Diagnostics, Inc., urine drug testing detects recent drug use and is the only testing method approved for federally-mandated testing. End-users seemed to rely on laboratory-based urine testing for its cost-effectiveness and capacity to screen for a wide variety of drug substances. Urine testing was observed as the most common screening method and detects recent use, typically in the previous one to three days. Its application is also apt for all testing reasons - from pre-employment to random to post-accident - and can be performed for a wide range of illicit and prescription drugs. Market experts also suggest that despite market entry of novel solutions and products, lab based urine drug testing is still the gold standard in employee drug testing.
