Influenza Home Testing Market Snapshot (2023 to 2033)

According to a recent study published by Future Market Insights, influenza home testing prospects are expected to soar significantly, reaching a valuation of US$ 7 billion in 2023. The market is further expected to reach US$ 10.36 billion by 2033, following a CAGR of 4%. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prominent influenza diagnostic approaches include molecular assays and antigen detection tests.

Several healthcare practitioners advocate the use of molecular assays-based diagnostics, given their high degree of effectiveness, fast results delivery, flexibility, and agility. Furthermore, molecular assay tests are an effective alternative for healthcare providers struggling with limited resources. This is especially in the case of developing countries. However, there is also extensive reliance on rapid diagnostic tests, as they provide results within 10 to 15 minutes.

Over the years, the importance of influenza testing has acquired momentum, as the incidence of the disease is rising consistently, particularly across the United States. Data from the CDC reveals that as of January 2023, a positivity rate of 4.6% was observed with regard to active influenza infections. Also, as of the 2nd week of January 2023, around 3% of all visits to healthcare providers were for influenza. In addition, there were 6,367 hospitalizations.

Influenza diagnostics has become even more important amid the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that such a massive pandemic does not take root in the future, governments across the world have initiated awareness and testing campaigns to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. Recently, the National Health Service in the United Kingdom announced that 2San, a global healthcare products and solutions brand is intending to launch a dual kit for SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A+B testing. This over-the-counter kit is likely to alleviate pressures concerning flu testing in healthcare institutions. The test provides results in as little as 10 minutes.

Players are also capitalizing on the rapid technological advancements penetrating the healthcare industry to introduce highly impactful influenza home testing kits. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology is currently developing a microresonator capable of detecting possible signs of flu or the common cold. The technology is likely to be 100 times more effective than the longwave infrared spectrum. Microresonators are capable of storing high optical fields inside a very small volume.

Becton Dickinson & Co. offers the BD VeritorTM Plus SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B rapid antigen testing kit. The kit provides accurate results in about 15 minutes. The test is intended for the qualitative detection of the diseases’ nucleocapsid antigens directly from anterior nasal swab samples taken from individuals suspected of respiratory infection within the first six days of symptom onset.

Likewise, Cardinal Health offers an end-to-end protection flu vaccine program, designed to meet the unique needs of hospitals, retail pharmacies, physician offices, community health centers, and other sites of care. The company ensures a consistent supply, providing priority access to other available brands, in case of a supply shortage. Some offerings include the Fluzone® High-Dose Quadrivalent, Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Flublok® Quadrivalent among others.
