Immunoassay Market overview

The Immunoassay market size is expected to reach USD 53 Billion by 2032 at 7.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2032). Immunoassay is a method of detecting or measuring a specific type of protein. The market uses different types of antibody-antigen reactions to detect the biological substance in the fluid and blood. Immunoassay test uses binding of antibodies to confirm the presence of certain types of substances, and it is highly used to detect diseases. Immunoassay also provides the detail about the disease that help to plan the treatment procedure, for instance, the detection of estrogen receptors in breast cancer, and it can be applied in various formats depending on the requirements. 

In April 2024,Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Phadia 2500E, an advanced immunoassay system designed to improve diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, offering enhanced automation and integration capabilities, reducing laboratory technician hands-on time.

In March 2024,bioMérieux has introduced the VIDAS® SARS-CoV-2 IgG II assay, a next-generation immunoassay for detecting antibodies against the virus, aiming to provide rapid and reliable results for COVID-19 management and global public health efforts.

The major job of Immunoassay is to measure the presence of chemical constituents. Technological advancement has led to easy application of Immunoassay, and it is boosting the Immunoassay market growth. Immunoassay plays a huge role in clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical analysis. It is wildly used in research centers, laboratories, hospitals to detect different diseases and come up with an effective treatment plan for both humans and animals. Additionally, this method is fast and cost-effective. Due to the wide range of applications, the market is growing rapidly, and the market size is increasing. Apart from that, the rapid growth in the individual suffering from the chronic disease propelling the Immunoassay industry growth.

The rising demand for advanced devices and the increasing adoption of these devices have a positive influence on the Immunoassay industry. The availability of sensitive diagnostics tests is also fueling the Immunoassay market trends. Increasing focus on private and public initiatives and increasing demand for cost-effective drugs will boost the market in the coming years.

Covid-19 analysis

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the world is going through a financial crisis. The covid-19 had a negative impact on the global economy as well and other businesses around the world. The government took several safety measures such as lockdown and social distancing guidelines to reduce the spread of the virus. However, it had a negative impact on the economic growth of the countries. But the Immunoassay product played a huge role in reducing the spread of the virus without the vaccine or medicines. The Immunoassay was the only method to control and manage the rapid spread of the virus. There is huge demand and use of Immunoassay can be seen during the period. Due to this, the Immunoassay market demand has increased a lot in the countries. But due to travel restrictions and the lockdown, the supply chain was highly affected. There are many rules imposed by the government bodies in several countries; due to the lack of supply of Immunoassay and the disruption in the supply chain, there was a negative impact on the market. So, overall, the market had a moderate growth due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Market dynamics
