Report Highlights
- The U.S. market for medical diagnostic kits (MDKs) increased from $11.2 billion in 2007 to an estimated $12.2 billion by the end of 2008. It should reach $18.5 billion in 2013, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
- MDKs accounted for approximately 23% of all clinical diagnostic testing in the U.S. in 2007. With the increased market share by instrumentation suites, this share is expected to decline to 20% by 2013.
- Point-of-care (POC) instruments have affected the use of MDKs because of the benefits they offer including improved cost efficiencies and rapid results.
Report Highlights
-
In 2001, sales at the U.S. manufacturers level exceeded $3.8 billion. By 2006, the market is anticipated to grow at an average annual rate (AAGR) of 6.2% to yield sales of more than $5.1 billion.
-
MDKs accounted for 34.6% of all diagnostic testing in the U.S. in 2001 and by 2006, market share will drop to 30.8%.
-
Point-of-care (POC) instruments have impacted the use of MDKs because of the benefits they offer for improving patient care.
