Glycated hemoglobin is used to measure three-month average plasma glucose concentration. It is a standardized test that indicates the amount of HbA1c, a special form of glycated hemoglobin, in a persons blood during the past two to four months. A glycated hemoglobin test is used to diagnose type 2 diabetes by monitoring the amount of hemoglobin bound to the glucose.
The major factors that contribute to the growth of the glycated hemoglobin testing market include increasing diabetic patients, growing geriatric population, technological advancements in diagnosing diabetes, growth in the home healthcare market, and increased R&D activities in early diagnosis and efficient disease management. However, the availability of substitutes and high costs associated with glycated hemoglobin testing hinder the market growth. Increase in diabetic population and growing awareness about POC HbA1c testing in developing countries are expected to boost the market growth in the near future.
