Report overview

Scope note

Segments covered: offering, technology, application, diagnostic approach, end user. Regions: Europe.

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) are tests performed on biological samples such as blood, saliva, and other tissues taken from the human body to detect a wide range of diseases. IVD tests are used to screen biological samples to monitor individuals’ health and prevent or diagnose diseases. These consist of various tests based on techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), isothermal nucleic acid amplification, and next-generation sequencing. These tests can be performed in laboratories, homes, and healthcare facilities.

The growth of the Europe IVD market is attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with the increasing geriatric population, the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, the growing demand for point-of-care (PoC) and rapid diagnostics, rising awareness regarding early disease diagnosis, rising healthcare expenditures, and increasing funding for research activities.

However, stringent technical requirements and regulatory processes for high/moderate-complexity tests and the variance in test results observed in rapid IVD tests restrain the growth of the IVD market. The increasing inclination toward personalized medicine and advancements in genomics and proteomics are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the evolving regulatory landscape is a major challenge for market growth.

Rising Awareness Regarding Early Disease Diagnosis is Driving the Market

Early diagnosis of infectious diseases leads to better treatment and future care. It helps healthcare professionals and patients make important medical decisions regarding care and support. There is a growing awareness about early disease diagnosis due to its advantages. Diagnosing a disease in its early stages can help patients save significantly on treatment costs. For instance, according to the WHO, studies conducted in some high-income countries have revealed that the treatment of cancer patients diagnosed early leads to cost savings by two to four times. Additionally, early diagnosis can be lifesaving for patients with critical diseases such as cancer.

Laboratory examination is one of the most effective and popularly practiced testing techniques for disease diagnosis. Immunoassays, biochemical characterization, polymerase chain reaction, isothermal nucleic acid amplification, and next-generation sequencing are performed to identify a comprehensive range of chronic and infectious diseases. Organizations are undertaking initiatives to promote early diagnosis and prevent/eradicate mortalities associated with infectious diseases.

France is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The highest CAGR of this regional market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, growth in the geriatric population, rising prevalence of cancer, and government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure in France. For instance, in June 2021, the Government of France launched the Health Innovation Plan to improve the healthcare system of France with a total budget of USD 6.2 billion (EUR 7.5 billion). Of this, USD 0.8 billion (EUR 1 billion) is allocated to R&D infrastructures, cross-cutting research support, attracting high-level scientists, clusters, and translational research. The fund of USD 1.2 billion (EUR 1.5 billion) was allocated for national projects and an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) to accelerate the development of healthcare innovations. Additionally, USD 1.9 billion (EUR 2.4 billion) for improving medical technologies, biotherapies, emerging infectious diseases, digital health, and CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) sectors.
