This TriMark Publications report describes the POC testing segment of the diagnostic market.
The two most important areas where such tests are measured for immediate results in a POC setting are hospital emergency rooms and critical–care clinics. The third place where these tests are frequently measured in what is characterized as a near–patient setting is in physicians' office labs (POLs). Other testing areas of interest for these analytes are satellite labs, critical–care units, neonatal intensive–care units (NICUs), intensive–care units (ICUs) and home testing locations. Home testing is not directly covered in this report except in cases when the products and companies in this market segment are also actively used in the hospital and physician's office POC settings.
This report also examines the subsections of each POC market segment, including: glucose, blood gases, coagulation, cardiac markers, drugs of abuse, infectious disease and many others. Additionally, rapid detection of infectious pathogens (methicillin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA], herpes simplex, avian flu, West Nile virus [WNV] and typhoid) is discussed.
This examination of POCT focuses on the POC segments in important worldwide markets, such as the U.S., Japanese, European, Asian and Rest–of–the–World (ROW) markets.

TriMark estimates that the professional global in vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing market was valued at approximately $62 billion in 2015 and that the professional POCT market sub–segment was valued at $12.91 billion in 2015, or the equivalent of 19.4% of the global IVD market.
The report provides a summary of the global POCT market divided into individual major market sub–segments, with market values for 2015 and market projections to 2018. Glucose testing remains the leading point of care testing global segment. Other rapid cardiac markers are growing rapidly, and will continue to grow at a rate larger than central lab testing, powered by continuing trends for adoption and use of these platforms across disciplines, notably cardiac markers, coagulation and infectious disease. As such, several diagnostic companies have scheduled advanced multiplexing platforms in their development pipelines, including a broad range of immunoassays and molecular tests.
The U.S. is recognized as the largest single country market for both IVD and POCT products, but Europe represents the largest regional market for both IVD and POCT products. Germany is widely recognized as the largest single market for both IVD and POCT products within Europe.
Asia (which includes Japan, China and India for the purposes of this report) represents a major market, but there are significant differences in growth rates for each of the individual countries. TriMark estimated that the Asian POCT market would exhibit a CAGR of 12.2% between 2015 and 2018. Although the Japanese POCT market has slowed recently, in contrast, the emerging markets of India and China are exhibiting higher CAGRs. The report also provides a summary of the Asian POCT market segmented by individual major market sub–segment with market values for 2015 and market projections to 2018.
Although the ROW segment represents the smallest geographic region, it is nevertheless a major growth opportunity and includes the emerging markets of Brazil and Russia. Included in this regional analysis are the Middle East, Africa, other Asian countries, Australia, Canada and other Latin American countries such as Mexico and Argentina. TriMark has determined that the IVD market for the ROW, and the POCT market for the ROW in 2015. Table 2.5 provides a summary of the ROW POCT market segmented by individual major market sub–segment with market values for 2015 and market projections to 2018.
Roche, Alere [now acquired by Abbott] and Abbott Laboratories are the three largest suppliers of POCT devices throughout the world. Although other companies, such as Nova, are becoming increasingly focused on POCT, increasing their product expansion and collaboration efforts to gain market share, the market remains extremely fragmented. Alere has sought to improve its market position through its acquisitions of companies like Biosite, Axis–Shield and its collaborations with SureStat and Chembio. Alere's HIV market share, on the other hand, could erode with the entry of Roche and Orasure and the advent of oral HIV tests. Nova Biomedical is becoming a reliable player with its new POCT platform. POCT dynamics are changing rapidly, and smaller players, including Cepheid, Tm Bioscience, Chembio, Response Biomedical and Orasure, are poised to deliver value with their innovative platforms and growing test menus. The market has been driven by a transition to fully–automated systems, real–time amplification, connectivity platforms and growing test development for POC platforms.
TriMark estimates that future growth will stem from emerging applications like genotyping for identifying drug–resistant strains; bioterrorism; testing applications within infectious disease like Influenza and HIV; and disease diagnostics and prognostic assays for disease applications like sepsis, cardiovascular disease (CHF) and coagulation testing. The industry consolidation is significant, as larger players like Alere want to move into faster–growing markets to expand their product offerings and/or geographical reach. Larger, established diagnostic players like Roche are eager to build out and extend their molecular diagnostic franchises for point of care technology and are willing to pay premium prices for good technology.
