Drug abuse is the deliberate consumption of illegal substances or overindulgence of prescribed psychoactive or performance-enhancing chemicals and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. It can affect the mind and body and lead to various disorders like addiction. As a result, it is diagnosed among individuals using different testing methods to provide effective treatment for related disorders. Drug abuse testing also assists in managing acute mental status and seizure cases in the emergency room and identifying children and newborns at risk of exposure to illicit drugs. Nowadays, it finds application in workplaces before hiring an applicant.

Drug Abuse Testing Market Trends

Presently, drugs like opiates, cannabinoids, cocaine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), barbiturates, amphetamines, alcohol, diazepam, and ketamine are abused for their mind-altering characteristics, non-therapeutic and medicinal uses, and other purposes, including weight loss and enhancing athletic performance. This can lead to drug dependence and substance use disorder, which represents one of the key factors driving the demand for drug abuse testing across the globe. Apart from this, drug abuse can create significant safety and health hazards and decrease the productivity and morale of an individual. This, in turn, is positively influencing the use of drug abuse testing to screen employees and job applicants, provide a safe workplace, and comply with strict government laws and regulations. Moreover, substantial growth in pain management and opioid dependency clinics is catalyzing the demand for urine drug testing worldwide. Furthermore, leading companies are offering automated testing and analysis for drugs of abuse. These companies are also offering at-home use kits for instant drug abuse tests. This, along with the thriving e-commerce industry, is impelling the growth of the market.
