ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The world market for diagnostics is estimated at $69.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow a little more than 4% annually to reach $85.2 billion by 2024. This is according to a new report by market researcher Kalorama Information, part of Science and Medicine Group. This includes all laboratory and hospital-based in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests, instruments, and reagents, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) product sales.

Kalorama Information released its 12th edition of the 2,000-page "Worldwide Market for In Vitro Diagnostic Tests" report, available now: https://kaloramainformation.com/product/the-world-market-for-in-vitro-diagnostic-tests-12th-edition/.

Some of the key the findings of the report include the following:

    --  The demand for early detection of cancer and infectious diseases is
        driving the IVD market globally.
    --  The market is also boosted by the aging world population and the stream
        of new test innovations - this is a field where double-digit percentages
        of sales invested back in R&D is not uncommon.
    --  Sales to China, Korea, Brazil, and other emerging nations are driving
        markets, but there is also some recovery in European markets and in
        Japan.
    --  Mass spectrometry has arrived, the report said, and it is included in
        market totals for its superior microorganism identification capability,
        among other applications.
    --  Roche dominates the market, but Abbott Diagnostics has gained ground
        recently. Siemens Healthcare, Danaher, Thermo Fisher Scientific,
        bioMérieux, and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics are among the top-tier
        competitors.
    --  Hundreds of companies compete in the market, and investment is brisk.
