Rapid tests are diagnostic tools designed to deliver quick results for various medical conditions, often within minutes. They are widely used in detecting infectious diseases (such as COVID-19, HIV, influenza), pregnancy, drug abuse, and other health conditions. Rapid tests offer advantages including ease of use, minimal infrastructure requirement, and the ability to perform point-of-care testing, making them critical in clinical, home, and remote settings.
The global Rapid Tests market is expected to reach USD 23.43 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2024 to 2033.
