The Fecal Calprotectin Test Market Size was valued at USD 140.2 Mn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 280.5 Mn by 2031 at a 9.17% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Fecal calprotectin testing can identify gastrointestinal inflammation. A protein called calprotectin is secreted by white blood cells when inflammation occurs. Several factors drive the global fecal calprotectin test industry forward, including healthcare providers' and patients' growing recognition of non-invasive testing procedures. The diagnostic tools market is being driven by technological improvements that improve the accuracy and efficiency of tests. Another factor driving the popularity of fecal calprotectin tests is the growing availability of home testing kits and the focus on preventative healthcare.
The factor fueling the global rise of the fecal calprotectin test market is the cooperation between research organizations, academic institutions, and industry players. Moreover, companies in the fecal calprotectin test industry work with medical professionals, labs specialising in diagnostics, and universities to create and sell cutting-edge testing products. Overall, the industry is growing due to these alliances, which boost product innovation, guarantee regulatory compliance, and increase market growth.
However, the high cost of testing and the lack of knowledge among patients and healthcare providers are the main factors limiting the market for fecal calprotectin tests, preventing their widespread acceptance and accessibility. In addition, the fecal calprotectin test market was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic because it limited patient visits to healthcare institutions and caused delays in standard diagnostic processes. However, the market was able to bounce back because of rising demand for non-invasive home testing kits and persistent emphasis on early diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal diseases. Market growth is attributable to increasing investments and technological developments in the fecal calprotectin test market.
The fecal calprotectin test market is segmented based on patient type, assay type, indication, and end-user. Based on patient type, the market is segmented into adult and pediatric. The market is segmented by assay type into ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay), enzyme fluoroimmunoassay, and quantitative immune chromatography. By indication, the market is segmented into inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and celiac disease. The market is segmented by end-user into hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and academic & research institutes.
The adult fecal calprotectin test market is expected to hold a major global market share in 2023 due to the great frequency of adult gastrointestinal disorders, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Early diagnosis and growing knowledge of these diseases fuel the need for non-invasive diagnostic approaches. Further driving of this segment development includes the increasing frequency of colorectal cancer screenings and the need to monitor chronic inflammatory bowel illnesses efficiently.
Diagnostic laboratories are growing because there is a growing need for non-invasive diagnostic instruments that can accurately identify gastrointestinal illnesses. Having trustworthy testing procedures is crucial due to the increasing number of cases of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer. Additionally, diagnostic laboratories that offer fecal calprotectin tests are on the rise, which is a good thing because diagnostic laboratory technology is always improving and because people are starting to pay more attention to the importance of early diagnosis and preventative healthcare, growing this segment.
The North American fecal calprotectin test market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future because of improvements in healthcare, a rise in the number of gastrointestinal illnesses, and a greater emphasis on the need for early detection. The presence of top diagnostic firms and heavy investment in R&D also contribute to the region’s booming market. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global fecal calprotectin test market because of the widespread nature of gastrointestinal problems, the ever-increasing cost of healthcare, and the expanding knowledge of alternatives to invasive diagnostic procedures.
Moreover, contributing to the region’s market growth are expanding healthcare infrastructure and large investments in medical research in the Asia Pacific region.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
