The global C-reactive protein testing market was valued at USD 1.8 million in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 1.93 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 1.8% during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver, due to inflammation. C-reactive protein is known as High-Sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) and Ultra-Sensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP). A high level of CRP in blood causes inflammation in the body, which results in small infections to severe diseases.
C-reactive protein is measured in milligram of CRP per liter of blood (mg/L).

Based on assay types, the market is divided into immunoturbidimetric, ELISA, Turbidometric, and others. The immunoturbidimetric assay segment has a considerable market share and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Availability of highly sensitive automated immunoturbidimetric assays and increased exploratory activities in immunoturbidimetric assays are expected to play an important role in the field of immunoturbidimetric assays.
On the basis of applications, the market is divided into cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, endometriosis, lupus, and others. The cardiovascular disease segment has a considerable market share and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Factors such as rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, rapid growth of the elderly population, and increasing use of CRP testing to determine the risk of heart attack or stroke are anticipated to play an important role in the field of cardiovascular diseases.
In terms of end-uses, the market is segregated into clinics, hospitals, diagnostic labs, and others. The clinics segment has a considerable market share and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Testing in primary health care institutions, availability of testing, and increasing need to improve the diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases in primary and secondary health care institutions are expected to play an important role in the clinics segment.
Based on regions, the market is divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and Europe. Asia Pacific has a significant market share and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is majorly driven by the development of advanced CRP testing, development of modern medical facilities, and lifestyle changes, which led to an increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.
