Cholesterol Test Market Research, 2031
The global cholesterol test market size was valued at $8,537.52 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $18,441.91 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8% from 2022 to 2031.
Cholesterol Test is also known as lipid profile test. This blood test calculates the blood's triglyceride and cholesterol levels. High cholesterol level goes undetected, yet it can have serious health repercussions. When blood cholesterol levels are excessively high, plaque (deposits of fat and other substances) are formed in the arteries. The buildup of plaque causes the arteries to become more constricted, which lowers and delays the blood flow to the heart.
A heart attack can happen if the blood flow to any region of the heart is cut off. A tool for determining the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks and strokes, is a cholesterol test. A doctor can use the test to measure and analyze the blood's fat content. The doctor might suggest medication to lower cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease if there is too much cholesterol in the blood. Even though the ideal frequency depends on age and other health risk factors, everyone should have their cholesterol checked on a frequent basis. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends cholesterol testing for most adults every 4-6 years starting at the age of 20 years. This testing will continue as long as they have a low risk of stroke or heart attack. After the age of 40 years, a doctor will calculate a person’s risk and may suggest more frequent testing.
“The cholesterol test market was slightly increased during the lockdown period owning to majority of the blood test centers experienced a broad spectrum of difficulties, and most were affected more in the second wave of the pandemic.”
