COVID-19 Diagnostics Market Report Highlights
By product type, the reagents & kits segment holds the largest share of the COVID-19 diagnostics market revenue, driven by their essential role in widespread testing, especially for PCR and rapid antigen tests. The instruments segment is registering the highest growth, fueled by advancements in automated diagnostic systems and increasing demand for high-throughput testing solutions.
Based on sample type, the swabs segment dominates the COVID-19 diagnostics market share. It is the primary method for collecting samples for molecular and antigen tests, particularly in clinical and public health settings. The blood samples segment is experiencing the highest growth, mainly due tthe increasing use of antibody and serology tests for post-infection surveillance and immunity assessment.
The molecular (RT-PCR) testing segment continues tdominate the market, regarded as the most accurate method for detecting active COVID-19 infections. However, the antigen-based testing segment is experiencing the highest growth, driven by its rapid result delivery and ease of use, especially in point-of-care and at-home settings.
North America holds the largest market share, with strong healthcare infrastructure and high testing demand, particularly in the US. Asia Pacific is the highest-growing region, driven by the rapid scaling of testing efforts in densely populated countries such as India and China, alongside innovations in point-of-care testing solutions.
