Key Factors Shaping the Cotinine Screening Devices Market
Advances in Screening to Ensure Convenience
Manufacturers of cotinine screening devices are shifting to technologies that tend to consume lesser efforts and offer non-invasive diagnosis, reliability of the screening devices, as well as testing at desired location. With hiring trends of employers to screen for illicit drugs, manufacturers ought to focus on multi-panel drug tests, which include cotinine screening too. With mandatory screening in case of armed forces personnel, athletes, and sportspersons, cotinine screening devices are set to witness an upsurge in demand over the course of coming years.
Edge over Traditional Laboratory-based Practices
Functional attributes of cotinine screening devices continue to position them above other laboratory-based diagnosis devices available in the market, in terms of ease and convenience, hence, it is expected that the former will continue to gain preference over latter. Cotinine screening devices are used in the insurance sector, for smoking cessation programs, and at rehabilitation centres. Portability of these devices reduces the cost of logistics, which could be incurred in sample handling, travelling to laboratories, and generating reports. These highly innovative screening devices not only reduce logistics cost but also ensure speedy detection within minutes.
Laboratories mostly stick barcodes to each and every sample, which leads to additional cost, more space utilization, machine set-up costs, and frequently the samples being misplaced due to wrong barcodes. In case of cotinine screening devices, the sample is directly poured on the device and results are recorded instantly at the same location.
Innovative Product Launches with Increasing Frequency
Increasing emphasis of manufacturers on introducing innovative cotinine screening devices solutions is projected to assist the market growth in the near future. The introduction of highly reliable qualitative as well as quantitative test kits at economical prices has generated demand for non-traditional devices for better specificity and sensitivity. This has been directing the focus of manufacturers on R&D of devices with advanced technical characteristics such as online data creation, pertaining to the test results.
Heightening Consumption by the Insurance Sector
In addition to employee screening, universal insurance coverage in developed countries has been a prominent factor in rising sales of cotinine screening devices. Health plan premiums are lower for non-smokers as compared to smokers, leading to steady consumption of screening devices in the sector. Mandatory health check-ups decide the health insurance premium paid, which is expected to drive demand. The increasing life insurance coverage is also a factor driving the growth of the market in developed regions.

The Take Off of ‘ENDS’: A Prominent Catalyst for Growth
The rise of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has marked a significant increase in adoption, with millennials getting increasingly drawn towards e-cigars, e-hookah, e-pipes and shisha tobacco. According to recent surveys on comparative usage of e - cigarettes in the US, in 2011, around 1.5% high school students were using e - cigarettes whereas it increased to 20.8% in 2018, indicating a leap much higher than expected. Some of the distinguishable properties of ENDS such as availability in various flavors and odorless are further underpinning their adoption by a wide margin.
While much remains to be determined about the long-lasting health consequences of ENDS, multiple research studies are already pointing to the risks of these products on lungs - including chronic lung diseases and irreparable lung damage. With statistics showing signs of increased usage of ENDS, the deployment of cotinine screening devices would continue on an upward spiral in 2019 and beyond.
North America - Growing Burden of Tobacco Addiction Underpins Adoption
Tobacco use is one among the leading causes of fatal diseases, making it essentially critical for various prevention and cessation programs to be in place. Prominent organizations, including the American Lung Association, have been supporting this drive with funding and incentives for federal, local and state level programs, which is further strengthening the lucrativeness quotient of this region for the market players. The American lung associated also supports policies that offer smokers enhanced access to all effective treatments along with comprehensive health insurance plans, thereby underpinning growth of North America cotinine devices market through 2029.
Pre-Employment Drug & Alcohol Testing: A Chief Use Case Generating Opportunities
Pre-employment drug testing has been long practiced across workplaces and has proved to be a useful tool in ensuring safe work environments. These tests are done through drug testing systems. While urine testing remains the most commonly carried out procedure, other procedures such as hair, blood, sweat, breath alcohol, and saliva tests are also being relied upon during the pre-employment drug and alcohol tests. These screening tests are carried out with a common objective i.e. to debar the candidates who may pose safety risks for themselves as well as others in case of safety-sensitive workplaces. This is where cotinine screening devices come into play, bringing an array of new opportunities for the market players to reap revenues from.
Cassettes remain the top-selling
Adoption of strips remain high
Saliva remains the most-preferred
Use of urine samples grow
Laboratories remain top end user
Workplace screening sustain high demand
How Growth will Unfold
