Dublin, May 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Testing (Infectious Disease Testing, POC Cancer Tests, Rapid Coagulation, Urine Testing, Lipid Tests, Pregnancy Testing, Glucose Testing and Other POC)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Point-of-care (POC) tests are diagnostics performed outside the central laboratory or executed via decentralized testing. POC testing has skyrocketed in the last 20 years as demand for accurate and fast testing has grown both inside and outside the hospital setting. The increasing introduction of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments has resulted in the migration of POC testing from the hospital environment to a range of medical environments including the workplace, home, disaster care and, most recently, convenience clinics. This Worldwide Market for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostics takes a deep look at the POC diagnostic industry, part of a paradigm shift from curative medicine to predictive, personalized and preemptive medicine.
The global POC testing market is composed of two major categories: professional testing, which includes physician office labs, clinic labs, employer labs and hospital labs, and self-testing, which includes home, drug store testing and continuous glucose testing. The report presents market analysis by product categories, market analysis by subcategory, market analysis by device technology, market analysis by country (including the United States, Europe, Japan, and rest of world), and competitive analysis.
The following global market data are provided:
Segment Size and Growth
POC test devices have contributed significantly to the growth of the overall diagnostics market over the past 10 years. More diagnostic manufacturers have pursued CLIA waiver status for their POC devices and CE Mark for POC or self-use. At the same time more, decentralized test venues invest in non-waived rapid tests and instruments. POC testing appears to be headed for an even bigger role in diagnosis and monitoring patient care. New technologies are allowing POC devices to produce quantitative lab-quality test results that can be transferred automatically to an information system, a remote caregiver service for consultation or an electronic medical record.
Regional Analysis
Selected POC segments represent higher growth prospects for vendors and manufacturers due to clinical drivers in established POC markets (United States, Europe) and developing markets alike. Promising developments in emerging regions include the introduction and success of Western-style physician practices and multi-specialty clinics that perform many standard POC rapid tests.
