Fecal Calprotectin Testing Market Analysis

End-user (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, Academics, Research Institutes)

The global fecal calprotectin testing market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, academics, research institutions, and others. Amongst these segments, the hospital segment is expected to garner a significant share. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rapid escalation of patient flow in the hospitals and increasing spending on healthcare across the globe as a result of increasing cases of gastrointestinal diseases, digestive disorders, and intestine illnesses being diagnosed on an everyday basis. As per the health expenditure report shared by the World Bank, global health spending has increased overall during the previous 20 years, doubling in real terms, reaching USD 8.5 trillion in 2019 and 9.8% of GDP (up from 8.5% in 2000) across the globe.

Disease Type (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Colorectal Cancer, Celiac Disease)

The global fecal calprotectin testing market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by disease type into inflammatory bowel disease owing to the rising cases of chronic inflammation of tissues in the digestive tract. High consumption of junk, oily food items, packaged food, and others have propelled the growth of inflammatory bowel disease among the population which is estimated to create a positive outlook for segment growth during the analysis period. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that around 3 million people present in the North American region have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in 2020. On the other hand, the colorectal cancer segment is also attributed to garnering a significant market share owing to the high prevalence of colon and rectum cancer among the population which generates the demand for fecal calprotectin testing for proper diagnosing and treatment procedures.
