Dublin, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Lateral Flow Assay Components Market by Type, Application, Technique, End User, and Region – Global Forecast to 2030” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global lateral flow assay (LFA) components market is anticipated to expand from USD 392.4 million in 2025 to USD 486.2 million by 2030, achieving a CAGR of 4.4% over this period. This growth is fueled by the rising incidence of infectious diseases, increased demand for point-of-care testing, and the burgeoning adoption of home-based diagnostics. Technological advancements in membranes and related materials have significantly enhanced test accuracy and reduced processing times, facilitating their application across clinical, veterinary, food safety, and pharmaceutical sectors. Established market leaders and emerging manufacturers are driving innovation by developing unique material designs and production methods to cater to varied end-user demands.
The sandwich assays segment is poised to maintain its dominance in the lateral flow assay components market during the forecast period. Small dominant elements include competitive assays and multiplex detection assays. In 2024, sandwich assays captured the largest market share, owing to their superior sensitivity and specificity, ideal for detecting larger analytes like bacterial pathogens, viral antigens, and crucial biomarkers. Involving analyte capture between two antibodies produces a signal proportionate to analyte concentration, ensuring consistent, reliable results. Their prevalence in common diagnostic tests, like pregnancy tests (hCG), infectious disease tests (HIV, hepatitis B, H. pylori), and cardiac marker detection (troponin, CK-MB, myoglobin), underlines their market influence. As healthcare transitions towards point-of-care solutions, the demand for membranes, conjugate pads, and nanoparticles tailored to sandwich format grows steadily.
Competitive assays, while essential for small molecule detection in areas like drug-of-abuse testing and food safety, and multiplex detection assays are gaining traction for allowing simultaneous analysis of multiple targets. However, the entrenched clinical uses and diagnostic accuracy of sandwich assays predominantly drive component consumption globally.
Medical device manufacturing companies represented the largest consumer group in the LFA components market by end-user. This market is segmented mainly into medical device manufacturing companies and their contract counterparts, with the former leading in 2024 due to their pivotal role in developing a broad spectrum of diagnostic devices. Prominent firms such as Abbott, Hoffmann-La Roche, Danaher Corporation, Siemens Healthineers, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer, Hologic, and Merck KGaA are significant consumers of LFA membranes, pads, conjugates, and housing materials.
The rising prevalence of infectious diseases, an aging demographic, and increased uptake of home-based diagnostics and point-of-care solutions are pivotal in incorporating LFA components into diagnostic product lines. Contract manufacturers are gaining importance as OEMs seek cost efficiencies, quicker scalability, and specialized expertise through outsourcing, bolstering component consumption, particularly in cost-effective Asia-Pacific regions.
The Asia Pacific leads in growth within the lateral flow assay components market. Segmented globally into five regions, the Asia Pacific is set to exhibit the fastest growth due to its rapid healthcare expansion and favorable economic conditions. Key countries contributing to this growth include China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and Singapore. Increasing healthcare spending, a growing elderly population, extended life expectancies, and heightened demand for point-of-care technologies drive increased demand for LFA components, including membranes and conjugate pads.
China and India dominate this surge, bolstered by expanding healthcare infrastructures, rising incomes, and government initiatives focused on diagnostics, highlighted by India’s health budget increase for FY 2023-24. Moreover, Southeast Asian nations like Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines are emerging as new growth centers due to economic vitality and increased manufacturing capabilities. Despite barriers like limited testing awareness, inadequate reimbursement structures, and infrastructural challenges, competitive local players such as Advanced Microdevices Ltd. and J. Mitra & Co. are reinforcing this region’s position in the LFA domain.
