The urinalysis market is expected to reach $1,286 million by 2019 from $892 million in 2014, at a CAGR of 7.6%. This market is segmented on the basis of products, test type, application, end user, and region.
The urinalysis market by product is divided into instruments and consumables. Consumables account for the largest share in this market, primarily due to the recurring requirement for reagents in the urinalysis process. The instruments market is divided into biochemical urine analyzers, automated urine sediment urine analyzers, and point-of-care devices. The biochemical urine analyzers segment is further divided into automated biochemical urine analyzers and semi-automated biochemical urine analyzers. Furthermore, the automated biochemical analyzers segment is subdivided into low-volume automated biochemical urine analyzers, medium-volume automated biochemical urine analyzers, and high-volume automated biochemical urine analyzers. The consumables market is divided into dipsticks, reagents, and disposables. Dipsticks are of two types visual test strips and automated test strips.
The urinalysis market, by test type, is classified into biochemical urinalysis and sediment urinalysis. The sediment urinalysis segment is further divided into microscopic urinalysis and flow cytometric urinalysis. The sediment urinalysis segment is expected to witness the highest growth in the forecast period due to technological advancements.
The urinalysis market by application is divided into disease diagnosis and pregnancy test. The disease diagnosis segment is further subdivided into urinary tract diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, and others. The disease diagnosis application is expected to witness the highest growth in the forecast period due to rising prevalence of various chronic diseases.
The urinalysis market, by end user is segmented into hospitals and clinics, research laboratories and institutes, diagnostic laboratories, and home care settings. Hospitals and clinics are the major end users of the urinalysis systems. Hospitals and clinics use urinalysis systems and consumables for diagnosis of various diseases.
