The growth of the market is attributed to the rising availability of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and various advantages of the product over its alternatives.
Blood collection from capillaries has been performed for many years. The technique was first used to collect blood from children for genetic testing. Small-volume sampling is widely used for various blood collection applications as it offers easy steps for drawing five or ten µl from a newborn baby.
In adults, capillary blood is obtained by pricking a finger, while it is obtained by pricking a foot in babies and small children. The specimen is then collected with a pipette, mounted on a glass slide or filter paper, or absorbed by a micro sampling device's tip.
Capillary blood is used to measure glucose levels by moving it to a test strip. In general, both patients and laboratory technicians prefer capillary blood collection. The approach is easier to use, less painful, and rarely necessarily requires the use of a "second stick."
Except in a few cases, the results of capillary blood versus plasma are equivalent. In such instances, the results must be compared to data collected using the same procedure.

Products Segment Analysis
On the basis of products, the market is segmented into lancets, micro-container tubes, micro-hematocrit tubes, warming devices, and others. The lancet segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market in the coming years owing to their frequent usage in blood draw procedures.
The lancet products are mainly equipped with a small scalpel for puncturing the skin in order to extract a blood sample. The market for lancets has been gradually growing as the prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases are increasing at a rapid pace.
Lancets are usually available in two types: disposable and reusable. In clinics and hospitals where a significant number of patients are screened for acute and chronic illnesses, disposable lancets are often used.
For routine glucose and hemoglobin analysis of diabetic and anemic patients, reusable lancet devices are mainly used in home-care settings. On the other hand, the micro-container tubes segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid growth rate during the forecast period.
These tubes are capillary blood collection tubes designed primarily for capillary blood collection. These tubes come in a range of shapes and sizes including serum isolation, EDTA, heparin, and plasma separation tubes. These additive-coated tubes are color-coded and used according to hematology procedures.
Since capillary blood draws only test tiny volumes of blood, they are usually available in microliters. The most common raw materials used to make micro-container tubes are plastic and glass.
Applications Segment Analysis
Based on applications, the global capillary blood collection devices market is segmented into whole blood tests, plasma/serum protein tests, comprehensive metabolite panel (CMP), liver panel tests, and dried blood spot tests.
The whole blood test segment dominated the market in 2020 and is projected to exhibit a healthy growth rate during the forecast period owing to their high frequency and ability to detect a wide range of diseases. The most commonly performed blood tests are complete blood count tests.
The test is widely adopted to determine blood components including white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), hematocrit, hemoglobin, and platelet counts. These tests provide enough information for doctors to diagnose anomalies to make an accurate diagnosis and are also used to monitor health conditions such as diabetes and anemia.
The increase in infectious and chronic diseases including cancer, anemia, autoimmune diseases, and diabetes globally has increased demand for hematology testing, especially whole blood tests. However, the dried blood spot tests segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to their use in the diagnosis of HIV, hepatitis infections, and other diseases.
