The global laboratory developed tests market was valued at USD 4.54 billion in 2021 and it is predicted to surpass around USD 8.49 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2030.
The growth of laboratory developed tests market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic and genetic diseases, infectious and autoimmune diseases, and increasing awareness among the population for healthy living. For the simple reason that they are generated and utilized in laboratories, lab-developed tests (LDTs) are released into the market without FDA approval or any other independent regulatory assessment. Although it oversees labs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has little knowledge of the usefulness, dependability, or quality of LDTs, particularly whether patients have been harmed as a result of their use.
LDTs are most typically employed in molecular diagnostics, which includes tests that target a variety of different chemicals in addition to genetics. For instance, in July 2022, Quest Diagnostics launched a lab-based molecular diagnostic test for the diagnosis of monkeypox virus infections. Moreover, immunoassay is gaining immense adoption and acceptability with the development of novel tests. For instance, in December 2021, OPKO Health, Inc., announced the FDA approval of the 4Kscore test, an LDT in which four immunoassays are combined into a single numerical score that takes into account the patient's age, biopsy history, and the results of a digital rectal exam.
Oncology and hereditary illnesses are frequent applications, but broad use is also seen in a variety of other applications, such as toxicology or blood coagulation. For instance, in September 2022, Allelica launched ancestry-specific polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis as a laboratory-developed test (LDT) for prostate cancer, coronary artery disease, breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes.
North America dominated the LDTs market in 2021 which can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing geriatric population, and increasing government funding. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the geriatric population is around 56 million accounting for 16.9% of the total country’s population. The molecular diagnostic market in the region is expected to grow at the fastest growth rate over the forecast period subsequently driving the overall market growth. Moreover, key players in the LDT market are focusing on developing novel products and achieving regulatory approvals which in turn drive the market growth. For instance, in July 2022 Quanterix Corporation launched the first pTau-181 plasma laboratory-developed test for research applications and clinical diagnostics in the U.S.
