Urinalysis Market

Urinalysis Market Outlook 2031

The Urinalysis Market was USD 3.90 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 7.86 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.1% during 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in the occurrence of new cases of several diseases each year and wide applications of the diagnostic method for several diseases.

Urinalysis refers to the diagnostics analysis of urine. This test is extensively used for the detection and management of a large number of diseases, which are originated from the organs related to excretory system of the patient body.

Some of the common diseases that require urinalysis include kidney diseases, diabetes, and urinary tract infection. The initial procedure of urinalysis involves checking the concentration, content, and appearance of urine and the results shown in this procedure will determine the patients’ health status. Performing a urinalysis test on a patient helps to understand the overall health of the patient by monitoring & diagnosing their medical conditions.

According to a survey conducted by World Health Organization (WHO), more than one million of urinalysis tests were conducted in North America alone in 2019. This was due to the rising number of diabetics and obesity patients in the region and the urinalysis procedure was widely adopted for the diagnostic procedures. The urology department of Istanbul National Hospital developed a rapid and simple urine test for the COVID-19 patients for the identification of false positive patients from the real ones. This test is called the Urine Foaming Test (UFT) making a significant rise in the urinalysis market. This test basically involves testing the foam of urine from the patient’s body and identify the coronavirus gene from this sample.

Urinalysis Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increasing occurrence of infectious diseases and chronic illness due to the inactive lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits such as extreme consumption of alcohol & smoking are projected to boost the market growth.
• Rapid development of the advanced urinalysis diagnostics and rising growth of the pharmaceutical sector are major factors driving the market expansion in the coming years.
• High maintenance cost for urinalysis testing devices and equipment as they need to be maintained in proper cooling systems and a favorable environment. This is expected to hinder the market growth.
• Lack of adequate healthcare infrastructure especially in the developing regions present a main challenge that can restrict the market expansion in the coming years.
• R&D investment and technological advancement in the development of innovative kinds of dipsticks and measurement devices for parameters such as acidity, protein, sugar, bilirubin, blood, evidence of infection, concentration, and ketones are expected to offer significant opportunities for the market players.
