Global Lateral Flow Assay Market Report by Technique, Product, Application, End User, and Region 2023-2028

The global lateral flow assay market size reached US$ 9.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 13.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.22% during 2022-2028.

Lateral flow assay (LFA) is a paper-based platform that detects and quantifies analytes in complex mixtures. It assists in testing biological samples of saliva, urine, sweat, serum, plasma, blood, and other fluids. As a result, it is widely employed in hospitals and clinical laboratories for the qualitative and quantitative detection of specific agents, antibodies, and gene amplification. Besides this, as it also aids in producing low-cost, simple, rapid, and portable detection devices that are utilized in biomedicine, agriculture, food, and environmental sciences, LFA is gaining immense popularity across the globe.

Lateral Flow Assay Market Trends

Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, there is a rise in the need for an alternative of sending patient samples to the laboratory. This, in confluence with the lack of extensive laboratory facilities or trained health workers to easily conduct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. LFA kits are convenient, smaller, portable, and can be controlled with minimal training. They act as a one-step assay that does not require washing steps, refrigeration, and pretreatment. They also faster test procedures that offer qualitative or semi-quantitative results, take a relatively short time for development, and allow the preparation of batches in advance. Besides this, there is an increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases that require new diagnostic methods for effective treatment. This, along with the significantly rising awareness programs to enhance the spread of infections, diagnosis, and prevention, is contributing to market growth. Furthermore, leading players are introducing novel signal enhancement techniques and improving quantification systems and simultaneous detection, which is creating a favorable market outlook.
