Europe In Vitro Diagnostics Market

The Europe in vitro diagnostics market (IVD) was valued at $13,825 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $18,647 million at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2020 to 2027. 

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) include medical devices, assays and reagents, which are employed in diagnosis of a medical condition. Furthermore, these instruments are employed in analysis of tissue samples and body fluids collected from a patient. Moreover, there are various types of in vitro diagnostic instruments that work on different techniques such as immunodiagnostics, tissue diagnostics, hematology, and molecular diagnostics. Furthermore, in vitro diagnostics are employed in diagnosis of various medical conditions such as infectious diseases, cancer, cardiac disorders, and nephrological disorders.  Moreover, use and handling of in vitro diagnostics require technical expertise and thus, instruments are used in specialized medical facilities to carry out diagnosis. For instance, IVD products are used in facilities such as standalone laboratories, hospitals, and point-of care. 

The major factor that contributes to the growth of the Europe in vitro diagnostic market  is surge in number of in vitro diagnostic tests, which is attributable to rise in incidences of chronic and infectious diseases. Furthermore, growth in geriatric population, which is prone to immunological disorders is another major factor that boosts the growth of the market. Moreover, rise in use of personalized medicines in treatment of various chronic diseases such as cancer also fuels growth of the Europe in vitro diagnostics market. In addition, increase in technological advancements associated with in vitro diagnostic products, technologies, and software & services boosts the market growth. However, stringent government regulations and unfavorable reimbursement policies are anticipated to restrict growth of the Europe in vitro diagnostics market. On the contrary, potential for outsourcing present lucrative opportunities for key players in the Europe in vitro diagnostics market during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact On Europe In Vitro Diagnostics Market  

Europe observed social distancing through nationwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. This lead diverse changes in every industry such as new challenges in supply chains, rising and falling demands of products, availability of resources and others. Similarly, in vitro diagnostics market in Europe was also affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, the impact was either positive or negative for different sectors of in vitro diagnostics industry. For instance, the impact of nationwide lockdowns in Europe was not favorable for the some of the in vitro diagnostic services. However, the sudden demand for new IVD products for COVID-19 testing resulted in key players launching various type of test kits. Therefore, the new test kits were granted Conformité Européene (CE) Mark in Europe which ensured the availability of safe the test kits.
