Acute Care Syndromic Testing Global Market Report 2025

The acute care syndromic testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.08 billion in 2024 to $4.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of antimicrobial resistance, rising government funding for infectious disease research, greater investment in healthcare infrastructure, a growing focus on syndromic testing, the expansion of telemedicine, and the rising prevalence of infectious diseases.

The acute care syndromic testing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing demand for faster diagnostic solutions, the expansion of healthcare services, the growing use of multiplex syndromic panels, and a rising geriatric population. Key trends expected during this period include a shift toward point-of-care testing, the integration of cloud-based platforms, the adoption of multiplex panels, the development of AI-powered tools, and increased automation in syndromic testing.

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to drive the growth of the acute care syndromic testing market. Infectious diseases, caused by harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, can spread through human contact, animals, or the environment. Factors such as population growth, urbanization, global travel, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change are contributing to the rising incidence of these diseases, increasing the demand for effective diagnostic and treatment solutions. Acute care syndromic testing plays a crucial role in identifying pathogens and co-infections through multiplex molecular diagnostics, allowing for targeted treatment decisions. For example, in February 2024, the UK Health Security Agency reported that in week 4 of 2024, the influenza positivity rate rose to 16.6%, up from 14% the previous week. Influenza-like illness (ILI) consultations also increased, reaching 9.8 per 100,000 people compared to 7.5 per 100,000 in the prior week, while influenza hospitalizations climbed from 5.12 to 7.63 per 100,000. Consequently, the growing incidence of infectious diseases is fueling the expansion of the acute care syndromic testing market.

Leading companies in the acute care syndromic testing market are leveraging advancements in multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to enhance diagnostic accuracy, enable rapid pathogen detection, streamline laboratory workflows, and reduce turnaround time. Multiplex real-time PCR is an advanced molecular diagnostic method that simultaneously detects and quantifies multiple pathogens or genetic targets in a single reaction, improving efficiency and accuracy in disease diagnosis. In April 2023, QIAGEN N.V., a Netherlands-based biotechnology company, launched the QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing solution in Japan. This system features a SARS-CoV-2 respiratory panel capable of detecting over 20 pathogens from a single sample. Using multiplex real-time PCR technology, it provides rapid results with minimal labor compared to traditional PCR assays. By the end of 2022, over 3,500 QIAstat-Dx systems had been installed worldwide, aiding in the diagnosis of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and meningitis-related conditions. Available in more than 100 countries, this system is improving global access to syndromic testing.

In May 2023, Applied BioCode, a US-based biotechnology company, partnered with Medline Industries to expand the distribution of the BioCode MDx-3000 System. This collaboration aims to enhance access to diagnostic testing for hospitals and reference laboratories across the U.S. Medline Industries LP, a US-based healthcare company specializing in medical supplies and healthcare services, will support the distribution of Applied BioCode’s multiplex diagnostic solutions, further advancing syndromic testing capabilities.

Acute care syndromic testing is a rapid molecular diagnostic approach that detects multiple pathogens simultaneously from a single patient sample. Primarily used in emergency and critical care settings, it enables quicker diagnosis of infectious diseases, leading to faster treatment decisions, improved patient outcomes, and reduced hospital stays.

The main disease types in the acute care syndromic testing market include respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, genitourinary diseases, tropical diseases, and others. Respiratory diseases affect the lungs, airways, and respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and fever. Various sample types used for testing include blood, urine, biofluids, stool, swabs, and more. The tests target bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites and are utilized in hospitals, clinical and diagnostic laboratories, research and academic institutions, and other healthcare settings.
