The point-of-care-testing (poct) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $86.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in poct device miniaturization, expansion of home care and remote patient monitoring, growing infectious disease outbreaks, increasing healthcare decentralization, rising adoption of self-testing diagnostics. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of rapid diagnostic testing at point of care, rising demand for home-based and self-testing solutions, expansion of over-the-counter diagnostic products, increasing focus on early disease detection and screening, improved accuracy and sensitivity of poct devices.
The growing adoption of telemedicine is expected to drive the growth of the point-of-care testing (POCT) market in the coming years. Telemedicine involves delivering medical care remotely using digital communication technologies such as video calls, phone consultations, or secure messaging. Its adoption has accelerated due to rising demand for convenient, timely, and contact-free healthcare services, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. POCT supports telemedicine by providing rapid and reliable diagnostic results that can be shared instantly with remote healthcare providers, enabling timely clinical decisions. For example, in April 2025, the American Hospital Association, a U.S.-based professional organization, reported that in 2023, over 12.6% of Medicare beneficiaries utilized telehealth services. By 2036, the number of physicians is projected to reach 86,000, highlighting telehealth’s crucial role in addressing the growing physician shortage. Consequently, the increasing adoption of telemedicine is fueling the growth of the POCT market.
Major companies in the point-of-care testing (POCT) market are increasingly emphasizing technological innovations, such as microfluidic rapid antimicrobial-susceptibility testing (AST) systems, to meet the growing demand for faster, clinic-level diagnostics and enhanced antimicrobial stewardship in primary care. Microfluidic AST technology uses micrometer-scale fluid channels to culture and detect bacteria from patient samples - such as urine - and determine their antibiotic susceptibility far more quickly than conventional culture-based methods, which typically take several days. For instance, in June 2023, Sysmex Corporation, a Japan-based diagnostics company, launched the PA 100 AST System, a compact POCT analyzer that uses Sysmex Astrego’s proprietary microfluidic cartridges to detect bacteria in roughly 15 minutes and deliver complete AST results in about 30 minutes. The system is highly user-friendly: healthcare professionals place the sample into a single-use cartridge, insert it into the desktop analyzer, and receive automated AST readouts without requiring specialized laboratory training. This rapid turnaround enables timely antibiotic decisions during the initial patient visit, supporting efforts to reduce inappropriate prescriptions and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
In August 2024, Quest Diagnostics Inc., a US-based medical laboratory company, acquired LifeLabs LP for $1 billion (CAN $1.35 billion). This acquisition expands Quest Diagnostics’ POCT offerings and strengthens access to innovative diagnostic solutions. LifeLabs LP is a Canada-based provider of point-of-care testing services.

Tariffs have influenced the point-of-care testing market by increasing costs of imported diagnostic devices, reagents, and electronic components used in POCT systems. Segments such as molecular diagnostics, PCR testing, and immunoassay-based devices are most affected, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North America where cross-border trade of medical diagnostics is high. These cost pressures have impacted pricing and slowed adoption in cost-sensitive markets. However, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, regional supply chain development, and innovation in cost-effective POCT solutions.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to diagnostic testing conducted at or near the site of patient care, providing immediate results and enabling faster clinical decision-making. Its purpose is to deliver quick and accurate diagnostic information directly at the point of care, facilitating timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.
The primary types of point-of-care testing (POCT) include blood glucose testing, infectious disease testing, cardiac marker testing, coagulation testing, pregnancy and fertility testing, blood gas or electrolyte testing, urinalysis testing, and others. Blood glucose testing involves measuring the amount of sugar (glucose) in a person’s blood to monitor and manage related conditions. POCT products are available through various purchase modes, including over-the-counter and prescription-based products, and utilize technologies such as immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, microbial detection, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, and biochemical testing. Key end users include clinical laboratories, ambulatory care facilities, physician offices, pharmacies, retail clinics, e-commerce platforms, hospitals, critical care centers, urgent care centers, home care and self-testing, and others.
The point-of-care testing (POCT) market includes revenues earned by entities by providing services such as on-site diagnostic testing, rapid disease detection, mobile health screening, and patient self-testing support. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The point-of-care testing (POCT) market includes sales of portable HbA1c analyzers, handheld blood gas analyzers, CRP (C-reactive protein) test kits, multiplex respiratory pathogen detection kits, and lateral flow urine analysis devices.
