Over the years, various kinds of point-of-care-tests were developed to study different anatomies of the body, be it internal or external. For instance, after the introduction of urine test strips, in which the patient’s urine strip is examined on a separate apparatus for the detection of drugs or toxic, the test result of portable ultrasonography is found better improvement and showing accurate readings in limited time.

The idea behind the launch of point-of-care tests was to conduct tests immediately, which are convenient to the patients. Using this diagnostic data, it is likely that the physician and the healthcare team can work efficiently in deciding the treatment for patients. According to the WHO survey statistics in 2020, the point-of-care testing devices are adopted by one-in-five patients, which is expected to increase to one-in-three by 2025.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of the market globally, particularly the EMEA primary care point-of-care diagnostics market. Point-of-care testing is increasingly adopted in various hospitals as it is considered to be one of the perfect tools and analysis for this pandemic situation. A large amount of funding invested by hospital bodies to start research of the point-of-care-tests, fueling the growth of the EMEA point-of-care diagnostics market.
