The global lateral flow assays (LFA) market is on a high-growth trajectory, projected to rise from USD 8.51 billion in 2025 to USD 12.52 billion by 2030, registering a robust CAGR of 8.0%. This surge reflects the growing global demand for rapid, affordable, and point-of-care diagnostic testing solutions, fueled by rising infectious disease prevalence, a growing elderly population, and expanding use of home-based testing kits.
By technique, the lateral flow assay kits and reagents market is segmented into competitive, sandwich, and multiplex detection assays. Sandwich assays dominated the market, with a share in 2024. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the better assay sensitivity and specificity associated with sandwich assays and their extensive application in the measurement of critical analytes (such as cardiac and hepatitis markers).
By sample type, the lateral flow assays market is segmented into blood, urine, saliva, and other samples (nasal swabs, throat swabs, and vaginal fluid). Blood samples accounted for the largest market share in 2024. Technological advancements in testing methods have also improved accuracy and reduced turnaround times, making these tests more appealing for both healthcare providers and patients. The extensive use of blood samples in lateral flow tests and the easy detection of disease antibodies from blood samples are the key factors driving the growth of this market segment.
By geography, the lateral flow assays market is segmented into six major segments, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa, and GCC Countries. North America accounts for the largest market share in the lateral flow assays market in 2024. North America is the leading region in the lateral flow assays market due to its advanced healthcare infrastructure and significant investments in medical technology innovation. The presence of major medical device manufacturers and growing LFA evolution, leading in smartphone-enabled readers, AI-powered result interpretation, and multiplex testing formats.
