Companies In The Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) Based Rapid Test Market Develop At-Home Test Kits For Patients To Self-Administer And Manage Their Health

LONDON, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to The Business Research Company’s research report on the Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) based rapid test market, LFIA based rapid test companies are focusing on developing at-home test kits. There is an increasing demand for at-home test kits for patients to self-administer, following at-home sample collection for infectious diseases and other applications. There are several ways to distribute LFIA tests, such as local pharmacies, other public sites, and home delivery via post or courier. For example, Abbott, a US-based pharmaceutical company, has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a virtually guided at-home use of its BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card rapid test for detection of COVID-19 infection. Abbott is bringing BinaxNOW, the most affordable and widely distributed rapid test, into the home, where the result is delivered in minutes without the need to send it out for processing. Currently, the $25 cost for the test is the lowest and is available for at-home testing.

The global LFIA based rapid test market size grew from $5.76 billion in 2020 to $6.13 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $9.13 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 10%.

Affordable or low-cost test kits are gaining popularity among Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) based rapid test market trends. The affordable or low-cost test kits will be available for every patient suffering from infectious diseases. Lateral Flow Assays (LFAs) are paper-based Point-Of-Care (POC) diagnostic instruments that are commonly used for their low cost, ease of use, and rapid design. LFAs are used for the rapid diagnosis of influenza, streptococcus, and a lot of new viral and bacterial infections. For instance, in January 2022, the YourTest device, developed on Co-Diagnostics’ Eikon platform, was created to make PCR testing more reasonably priced, commonly available, and recommended for rapid analyses in the home or at the point of care.
