LDL Test Market Size

Global LDL Test Market Overview

LDL Test Market Size was valued at USD 8.40 Billion in 2023. The LDL Test industry is projected to grow from USD 9.02 Billion in 2024 to USD 15.86 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.44% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). LDL is also mentioned as bad cholesterol since high levels of LDL results in cholesterol build-up which may lead to heart attack and strokes. LDL is one of the five major types of lipoproteins and other four are chylomicrons, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The major role of lipoprotein particles is to transport fats such as triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood between the organs of the body.

According to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, (2015) 71 million American adults have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol level. Only 2 out of every 3 adults with LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.

November 2023:

Primary Healthtech, an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati alumni-led startup, has introduced a novel point-of-care testing (POCT) apparatus. This indigenous technology is anticipated to analyze 25 blood parameters for the early detection of chronic diseases caused by malfunctions of the kidneys, liver, heart, and pancreas.

MobilabTM is an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled device that can be controlled via an Android application in order to complete approximately 150 tests on a single battery charge. Tuesday, October 10, Sahil Jagnani, chief executive officer (CEO) of Primary Healthtech, stated that the device's viability extends to the most remote regions of the country due to its support from a digitally interconnected ecosystem.

Recent World Health Organization reports indicate that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for approximately 41 million (74%) fatalities worldwide. It is anticipated that the device will conduct early screening for these conditions.

"The vision of MobilabTM is to make diagnosis available to fellow citizens at an affordable cost, along with generating instant results to speed up the early screening, disease management, and treatment," according to Jagnani.

Additionally, he stated that MobilabTM is anticipated to fulfil import substitution as part of the Make-in-India initiative of the Central government. Moreover, it will facilitate low-cost testing at the patient's location, facilitating long-term disease management and early detection.

Government laboratories accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) have validated eleven parameters. These parameters include total protein, total bilirubin, albumin, and cholesterol for the heart profile; creatinine, glucose, and uric acid for the kidney profile; haematology, haemoglobin, and diabetic in glucose for the hepatic profile.

The device produces data within a duration of ten minutes. Subsequently, a digital report and the patient's electronic health record are generated, facilitating seamless sharing with medical professionals.

A January 2024 report indicates that India has just unveiled an innovative drug claimed to have the potential to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) cholesterol, commonly known as "bad” blood cholesterol, which is responsible for heart attacks and strokes. Inclisiran by Novartis- a Swiss pharmaceutical industry giant-could change how atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is managed according to findings from a Jan. 2024 report.

On September 2023, ACC initiated the 'Driving Urgency in LDL Screening' Quality Improvement Campaign with Amgen and Esperion in order to increase diagnostic rates of LDL screening among patients without prior cardiac events and known cardiovascular diseases by physicians who will then assess whether their patients meet treatment criteria based on medical guidelines.

This indicated that new PCSK9 inhibitors given quarterly lowered LDL-cholesterol levels by more than 50% versus placebo on top of other lipid-lowering medications among those already taking them, according to a report done in November 2023. This was evidenced by the REMAIN-2 clinical study.
