Albumin & Creatinine Tests Market Analysis

Type Segment Analysis

The global albumin & creatinine tests market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into blood & urine creatinine, urine albumin, and glycated albumin. Out of these, the urine albumin segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. Albuminuria (urine albumin) is a sign of kidney disease and is characterized by excessive albumin levels in the urine. It has been observed that the proportion of patients who have urine albumin laboratory results is increasing over time in every age group, along with the resulting increase in consumer demand for convenient and rapid urine tests, which is expected to drive segment growth throughout the forecast period. As a result of a survey conducted in the United States between 2005 and 2019, it was found that the percentage of people with urine albumin results increased from 6%–16% among 40–49-year-olds; 11%–22% among 50–59-year-olds, 12%–27% among 60-69-year-olds and 10%–25% for those older than 70.

Product Segment Analysis

The global albumin & creatinine tests market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by-product into analyzers, cartridges (POC, tabletop), dipsticks & kits, and reagents. Amongst these segments, the dipsticks & kits segment is expected to garner a significant share by the end of 2035. The albumin & creatinine tests are used to detect kidney damage, and the kits for these tests are becoming more popular as they are less expensive and easier to use than traditional analyzers and cartridges. Moreover, a urine dipstick test is a quick and easy way to test for the presence of various substances in the urine, such as protein, blood, and sugar. The results are usually available between 60 and 120 seconds after an appointment with the doctor. Therefore, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of the segment in the future.
