The Europe point-of-care molecular diagnostics market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.17 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of infectious diseases & chronic disorders, and the growing demand for rapid test results to ensure enhanced patient outcomes.
In recent years, Europe has experienced multiple outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as vector-borne diseases like West Nile virus (WNV) and dengue fever. This has developed a demand for effective technologies, such as point-of-care molecular diagnostics, to ensure seamless operations in burdened healthcare facilities and clinics. Utilization of point-of-care molecular diagnostics has provided benefits such as quick test results, improved accuracy, reduced costs, and enhanced management of operations in the healthcare sector.
Innovation, inclusion of modern technologies, and availability through over-the-counter product ranges have driven the growth of this market. Utilization of in-home care for patients, a wide range of technology capabilities, and ease of accessibility are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. The use of PoC molecular diagnostics in identifying specific mutations during cancer tests is projected to add growth opportunities.
