Immunochromatographic tests, known as lateral flow assays, can determine if a target analyte, such as a pathogen or a biomarker, is present or absent in people or animals. Due to increased usage in medical diagnostics, a rise in the occurrence of infectious diseases, the increasing need for point-of-care testing, and the widespread acceptance of home-based lateral flow assay tests. In terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and quantification advancements, technological growth is causing lateral flow tests to work better. Manufacturers' test readers are frequently utilized to assess the robustness of a sample's test line. Portable lateral flow assay readers are becoming increasingly popular due to their expanding mobility and downsizing. Technological advancements in using various wavelengths for sample illumination and various sample detection systems, which use CMOS or CCD detecting technologies, are driving innovations in lateral flow assay testing equipment.
Furthermore, assays are evolving from straightforward qualitative tests to intricate multi-analyte quantitative assays, driving the growth of the lateral flow assay market. The substantial incidence of infectious diseases, the growing geriatric population, the rising demand for point-of-care testing, the rising demand for home-based lateral flow assay test kits, and the rising disposable income in developing nations are the main factors driving the global lateral flow assay market. The global market is expected to be driven by technological development and rising product usage. The demand for user-friendly point-of-care testing in-home care settings that can provide results in real-time (5-15 minutes) is rising due to the increased frequency of infectious and lifestyle diseases.
