<strong>Point</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Care</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

Zion <strong>Market</strong> Research has published a new report titled “<strong>Point</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Care</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

by Products, by Prescription Mode (Prescription-Based Testing Kits and Over-The-<br />

Counter Testing Kits) <strong>Market</strong> for Hospitals, Clinics and Ambulatory <strong>Care</strong> Settings:<br />

<strong>Global</strong> Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, <strong>2016</strong> <strong>–</strong><br />

<strong>2022</strong>”. According to the report, the global point of care diagnostics market was valued at<br />

approximately USD 23.50 billion in <strong>2016</strong> and is expected to reach approximately USD 40.50<br />

billion by <strong>2022</strong>, growing at a CAGR of around 10.00% between 2017 and <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

The point of <strong>Care</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong> is medical testing performed at the clinical laboratory in close<br />

proximity to where the patient is receiving care. POCT is usually performed by non-laboratory<br />

persons and the results are used for clinical decision making. <strong>Point</strong>- of-care technologies may<br />

enhance the management of different diseases and conditions. The point of <strong>Care</strong> diagnostics is<br />

of great importance in developing countries. Unfortunately, a major aspect in developing<br />

countries is that they often lack modern laboratories, fully automated instruments that provide<br />

highly reproducible, quantitative, and hence sensitive and accurate diagnostic results. In order<br />

to circumvent these issues, the emergence of rapid and easy-to-use point-of-care (POC) tests<br />

can dramatically enhance a physician’s ability to diagnose patients’ diseases rapidly and<br />

accurately.
