This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The COVID-19 antigen test market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.13 billion in 2024 to $7.65 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to pandemic outbreak, emergency regulatory approvals, supply chain challenges, government initiatives, global vaccination efforts.
The COVID-19 antigen test market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.19 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to point-of-care testing expansion, new variants surveillance, public health measures, market competition, emerging variants and continued threat. Major trends in the forecast period include development and approval of next-generation antigen tests, integration of digital and smartphone technologies for test result reporting, expansion of testing infrastructure in high-risk settings, increasing demand for home-based antigen test kits, emphasis on affordable and accessible testing solutions, continuous research for variants-specific antigen tests.
The anticipated surge in popularity of self-administered test kits is expected to drive the growth of the COVID-19 antigen test market in the future. Self-administered test kits are diagnostic tools designed for individuals to use on themselves at home, eliminating the need for medical professionals or trained personnel. The increased adoption of self-administered test kits contributes to the wider availability of COVID-19 antigen tests, aiding in slowing the spread of the virus and enabling individuals to identify infections in the comfort of their homes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in April 2022, there was a significant rise in the use of at-home COVID-19 tests among U.S. adults aged 18 and older during the Delta-predominant period (August to December 2021) to the Omicron-predominant period (December to March 2022). The use of at-home tests among respondents with COVID-19-such as symptoms increased from 5.7% to 20.1%. Therefore, the increasing popularity of self-administered test kits is a driving force behind the growth of the COVID-19 antigen test market.
An upsurge in testing rates is anticipated to fuel the growth of the COVID-19 antigen test market in the future. Testing rates represent the frequency of diagnostic tests, such as COVID-19 tests, performed within a given population or over a specific period. As testing rates increase, there is a growing demand for COVID-19 testing solutions, including antigen tests. This heightened demand directly contributes to the market's expansion, requiring manufacturers and suppliers to produce and distribute more tests to meet the rising needs. According to the National Institutes of Health in October 2023, the total COVID-19 testing rate ranged from 5.13 to 22,386.63 per 1000 people from October 2022 to October 2023. Therefore, the increase in testing rates is a key driver of the COVID-19 antigen test market's growth.
In July 2022, Meridian Bioscience Inc., a U.S.-based company, announced a definitive merger agreement with SD Biosensor Inc., located in South Korea, and SJL Partners LLC, also based in Seoul, South Korea.
