In Vitro Diagnostics Quality Control Market To Forsee Commendable Growth To 2026

Category: Academics

The global IVD quality control market size is expected to reach USD 1.24 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period. Continually evolving technology-oriented changes in the diagnostics field and growing need to ensure patient safety necessitate the implementation of quality assurance programs in various medical disciplines including radiology and Point-of-Care (PoC) devices. Patients rely on self-testing IVD devices for long-term disease management and hence it is important for such devices to be checked, in terms of result reproducibility and validity, to guarantee patient safety. Rising number of certified clinical laboratories offering dependable IVD-based diagnostic services directly correlates with increased patient confidence, thus driving the market. In addition to quality assessments, amendments to the regulatory framework are made intermittently to enhance the existing standards with the main objective of safeguarding qualitative superiority of the diagnostic services. In May 2016, the European Union passed an agreement to update the pre-existing regulations pertaining to IVD devices, wherein the updates were in concern with raising the patient safety levels, particularly for disabled persons. The presence of third-party agencies for independent assessment of the IVD devices is expected to elevate the current safety standards, which will drive the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Quality Control market further.
