Thyroid Function Test Market Report 2025

This Thyroid Function Test market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The thyroid function test market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2024 to $1.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased prevalence of thyroid cancers, rise in middle-class disposable income, increased patient population, proactive government initiatives, and increased adoption of sedentary lifestyle.

The thyroid function test market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing incidence of thyroid disorders, increasing awareness about thyroid disorders, increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, rising geriatric population, and increasing consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Major trends in the forecast period include need for cost-effective tests, improved healthcare infrastructure, demand for early detection, demand for thyroid function tests in hospitals, and technological advancements.

The growth of the thyroid function test market is expected to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of thyroid disorders. These disorders are medical conditions affecting the thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck and shaped such as a butterfly. Factors contributing to the growth in thyroid disorders include dietary changes, radiation exposure, hormonal shifts, environmental influences, and autoimmune conditions. Thyroid function tests play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing thyroid disorders by providing essential information about thyroid hormone levels and the presence of antibodies. These tests guide treatment decisions, assess therapy effectiveness, and help prevent complications. For example, the American Cancer Society reported approximately 44,020 new cases of thyroid cancer in January 2024, with around 2,170 deaths from thyroid cancer. Hence, the increasing prevalence of thyroid disorders drives the growth of the thyroid function test market.

Major companies in the thyroid function test market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as integrating guidelines, to strengthen their competitive position. Guideline inclusion involves incorporating specific guidelines, recommendations, or protocols into practices, policies, or systems within a given field or industry. For example, in May 2022, Mindray Medical International Limited, a China-based global leader in medical technologies specializing in the development and manufacturing of medical devices and solutions, introduced a new assay for measuring TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb). This assay plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing Graves' disease, the leading cause of hyperthyroidism. Designed to improve diagnostic accuracy, the assay also offers valuable prognostic insights. Clinical guidelines support the use of TRAb testing, highlighting its significance in routine management of autoimmune thyroid disorders.

In January 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a prominent global biotechnology product development company based in the US, acquired The Binding Site Group for around $2.8 billion. This acquisition represents a strategic move by Thermo Fisher to expand its diagnostic portfolio, enhance patient care, and seize growth opportunities in the specialty diagnostics sector. The Binding Site Group, located in the UK, specializes in the development and manufacturing of immunodiagnostic products, including tests for thyroid function.

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are a series of blood tests used to evaluate the function of the thyroid gland, which is vital for regulating metabolism and various bodily functions. These tests measure levels of thyroid hormones and other related substances to diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor their treatment.

The main types of thyroid function tests are thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4). A TSH test measures the level of TSH in the blood, which is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. These tests are used to diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and other thyroid-related issues. They are utilized by various end users, including clinics, research organizations, diagnostic laboratories, and hospitals.
