Short Description
Africa Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) Market, By Product Type (Consumables and Kits, Instruments and Others), Mode (Professional Rapid Diagnostic Test Product and Over-The-Counter [OTC] Rapid Diagnostic Test Product), Technology (PCR-Based, Flow-Through Assays, Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assays, Agglutination Assay, Microfluidics, Substrate Technology and Others), Modality (Laboratory Based Test and Non-Laboratory Based Test), Age Group (Adult and Pediatric), Test Type (Determining Confirmation, Serological Testing and Viral Sequencing), Approach (In-Vitro Diagnostic, Molecular Diagnostic), Specimen (Swab, Blood, Urine, Saliva, Sputum and Others), Application (Infectious Disease Testing, Glucose Monitoring, Cardiology Testing, Oncology Testing, Cardiometabolic Testing, Drugs-of-Abuse Testing, Pregnancy & Fertility Testing, Toxicology Testing, Others), End User (Hospital & Clinic, Diagnostic Laboratory, Home Care Setting, Research and Academic Institutes and Others), Distribution Channel (Direct Tender, Retail Sales, Others), Country (South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Rest of Africa), Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Market Definition:
The rapid diagnostic tests, also called rapid tests, are easy-to-use tests that offer quick results, usually in less than 20 minutes. Unlike other standard and conventional tests, where the diagnosis and sampling are sent to the laboratory, the results obtained from rapid diagnostic test kits are provided at the point of care. The point of care is a place where the patients get cured. The point of care can be a providers office, a clinic, or a patients own house.
The RDTs are applicable for diagnosing and testing infectious diseases such as COVID-19, cardiology diseases, oncology, pregnancy, fertility testing, toxicology testing, drugs-of-abuse testing, cardiometabolic testing, and glucose monitoring.
The currently available technological developments in rapid diagnostics testing are the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), RT-LAMP, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The developments in the testing kits provide an effective strategy to implement robust identification and diagnosis of the pathogen. The digital approach to rapid diagnostic tests allows the research team to understand and obtain, real time-results. The use of lateral flow testing is increasing, and it has to go digital for societies to get maximum benefits from it.
