Europe In Vitro Diagnostics Market

The Europe in vitro diagnostics market size is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the wide prevalence of chronic diseases as well as growing public awareness regarding early detection of life-threatening diseases.

Medical devices, assays, and reagents are key components for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) process, which are used to diagnose a medical condition. Various instruments are also used to analyze tissue samples and bodily fluids obtained from patients and some of the key diagnostic instruments are immunodiagnostics, tissue diagnostics, and molecular diagnostics.

The diagnostics devices are also widely adopted for detecting various infectious diseases and chronic illness such as cardiac disorders, cancer, and diabetes. Furthermore, since the use and handling of in vitro diagnostics necessitates professional experience, diagnosis is carried out in specialist medical facilities using instruments. IVD materials, for example, are used in standalone labs, clinics, and point-of-care settings.

The elderly population is vulnerable to a variety of degenerative and infectious diseases, which is resulting in a wide occurrence of targeted diseases of this group of population. According to a report, the number of people aged 65 and above who are suffering from such diseases in Europe is projected to increase from 18.5 percent in 2014 to 28.7 percent in 2080. Since diagnostic interpretation is required for effective disease treatment, IVDs are important parts of the healthcare industry, especially in the diseases diagnosis.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Rising awareness among a large number of the global population for early diagnosis of life-threatening diseases represent a key driver for the market growth.
• Increasing number of the aging population globally and their higher chance for exposing to several infectious and chronic diseases is a major factor driving the market growth.
• Introduction of innovative technology that offers ease of use and effective diagnostic result along with several government policies for expansion of the healthcare infrastructure are pushing the market expansion at a significant rate.
• Availability of over-the-counter drugs and self-care diagnostic kits offering the items for home-setting treatment and point of care systems are reducing unnecessary physician or hospital visits. This is expected to boost the market growth.
• High cost for IVD treatment and lack of skilled technicians handling the diagnostic kits are some of the key challenges that can hamper the market revenue.
