The global lateral flow assays market is growing at a considerable CAGR of around 8.8% during the forecast period. The lateral flow devices are used to confirm the presence or absence of a target disease without the need for lab equipment. The lateral flow assay devices are generally used in the hospital are clinical laboratories quantitative,  and qualitative detection of particular antigens and antibodies. It is simple and less expensive technology use in the quantitative, and qualitative detection of pathogens in humans, animals, or pollutants or toxic elements in animal feeds, water supplies, and foodstuffs. The major factors that are driving the growth of the market include the Increasing prevalence of infectious disease owning to this acceptance of smart devices are also increasing. For instance, According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, around 15 million people across the globe are diagnosed with infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization, Global Tuberculosis Report 2020, In 2019 around 1.4 million people mortality from Tuberculosis, and around 10 million people were diagnosed with tuberculosis. Also, the benefits of LFA-bassed rapid tests as compared with laboratory testing are driving the market growth, and growing use of home-based lateral flow assay kits due to this the demand for the home-based lateral flow assay kits is increasing. Moreover, increasing applications of lateral flow assays and growing demand for lateral flow assays in the food & beverage industry offer substantial growth opportunities for the companies operating in the lateral flow assays market. 

The lateral flow assays are also used in diagnosed COVID-19 disease. These simple-to-use tests provide the prospect of rapid case detection. According to WHO, around 150,989,419 people are diagnosed with COVID-19, and 3,173,576 mortality in May 2021. Due to this, the major key players are adopting different market strategies such as the US FDA approval. For instance, In September 2020,  F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. received  CE Mark from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen test. The SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test is for use in point-of-care (POC) settings for people with both symptomatic and asymptomatic.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Lateral Flow Assays  Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a positive impact on the global lateral flow assays market since December 2019. The need for the rapid diagnosis of the coronavirus infection has been the emphasis since the beginning of the COVID-19  pandemic.  As the number of COVID-19 cases is increasing day by day across the globe. The major key player in the lateral flow assays market has entered into the partnership with government agencies or non-government organizations for the launches of COVID-19 antigens tests, and antibody tests with extra production, and distribution due to the increasing demand. The companies also invested in research and development, to develop lateral flow diagnostic solutions for the COVID-19. The lateral flow assays are low in cost and easy to use. Hence, it is mostly using in low- and middle-income countries. Also, the rapid turnaround time has led to their high acceptance. Although The diagnostic precision of these tests is lower than other tests.

Global Lateral Flow Assays Market Share by Application, 2020 (%)

The Clinical Segment is Projected to Have Considerable Growth In The Global Lateral Flow Assays Market 

Based on the application, the clinical testing segment has primarily driven the growth of the market. The clinical tests are used as substitute lab-based immunoassays with distributed testing. Generally known as point-of-care (POC) testing. The POC testing provides much faster results than centralized (lab) testing. Due to this, the use of lateral flow assays in qualitative and quantitative analysis is increasing. The key companies increased R&D and launches in the field of clinical testing with government and non-government organizations. These factors are responsible for the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
