Serious health problems are being caused by the growing number of adults and kids who smoke. In America, about 14% of individuals have a smoking addiction. The American Lung Association, therefore, imposes a national cigarette tax as well as other tobacco product taxes to control the use of tobacco and nicotine content.

In 2020, the typical state cigarette tax was about USD 1.82 per pack. Additionally, the American Lung Association developed health insurance plans, initiatives, and policies for smoke-free workplace regulations. These elements support the development of cotinine screening tools. Thus, in 2021, the United States of America had the greatest penetration rate for cotinine screening equipment.

In the year 2021, the cotinine screening devices market accounted for 8.1 percent of the global drug screening market, with sales of USD 5.3 billion. Increased use of cotinine screening devices in the workplace, the importance of drug-free recruiting, and the need for screening devices in insurance calculations are just a few of the important drivers driving this market's growth.

Cotinine is an alkaloid substance, formed in the human body after the consumption of nicotine. Cotinine is used for testing substance abuse in people because it stays in the human body for approximately 8 to 10 days. Cotinine is a biomarker indicating tobacco use.

Mandatory cotinine screening tests to hire employees is expected to rise the number of tests as well as products requirement in the market The sporting events have added nicotine to the list of drugs to be screened which is anticipated to propel the demand for cotinine screening devices around the world. Random checking of students at schools in North America as well as in East Asia also adds up to the growing demand for these devices. Moreover, compulsory screening of armed forces personnel before induction is another reason generating the demand for cotinine screening devices around the world over the forecast period.

The contract manufacturing of Cotinine screening devices in emerging countries is rising and favoring revenue generation for the key players.

What are the opportunities for various manufacturers of the cotinine screening devices industry?

The growing number of smokers worldwide is expected to provide high growth opportunities for test providers and cotinine screening device manufacturers. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs together create an economic burden of nearly USD 700 billion in the USA through related costs, lost work productivity, and healthcare, which represents a vast opportunity for market growth.

Technological advances related to sample collection and efforts of manufacturers to create easy-to-use disposable test kits are expected to create high demand for cotinine screening products. Manufacturers are focusing on using samples other than urine, such as saliva and hair samples, which is less embarrassing for individuals being tested.

What are the restraining factors for this market?

The decrease in the reimbursement rate for undergoing tobacco abuse testing may hamper the revenue growth of the stakeholders in the cotinine screening devices market. For instance in June 2015 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reduced the reimbursement coverage to only two G codes for drug abuse testing, one for presumptive testing and one for definitive testing. The decrease in reimbursement may directly influence the number of drug abuse tests performed in the USA, as low reimbursement would lead to out-of-pocket spending for the customers. Although the cost of cotinine screening devices is low as compared to the other drug abuse testing devices cotinine testing volume can also be affected adversely with an overall decrease in the drug abuse reimbursement as many cotinine screening tests are performed as part of drug abuse testing.

The adoption of cotinine testing is limited to the general population for evaluation. Although various healthcare facilities carry out cotinine testing on regular basis for their employees many of them exclude current employees from it and carry out screening on new employees in the facility. Despite many employers across various countries adopting cotinine screening, the pace at which the adoption is rising is much slower compared to other screening tests used for drug abuse. The lack of immediate adverse effects makes cotinine testing’s importance go unnoticed by various employers. Low adoption of cotinine testing in rehabilitation centers as well is another reason, which may limit the growth of the market.
