Rapid Diagnostics Market Trends Spotlight Triage Efficiency and Disease Surveillance
The Rapid Diagnostics Market Trends point to several key developments reshaping the industry. First, point-of-care testing (POCT) is gaining adoption in emergency settings, rural health centers, and at-home care, improving triage capabilities and reducing hospital burdens. Second, technological advancements such as lateral flow devices, lab-on-a-chip formats, and multiplexed panels are enhancing test flexibility and speed. Third, digitization—AI algorithm interpretation, smartphone integration, and data tracking—is increasing accessibility and accuracy, particularly for populations with limited visual acuity. Additionally, market trends show an increased focus on infectious disease surveillance, with recent expansion beyond COVID-19 to routine flu and sepsis testing. Sustainability trends, such as biodegradable materials for test cassettes, are also emerging. Together, these trends underline how the Rapid Diagno
