At-Home DOA Testing Market Size and Forecast Report 2023

Nowadays, drugs are as much a cause for concern as, say, terrorism or global warming. Cannabis, cocaine, heroin…there are so many drugs available across the world and that too with relative ease. What is disheartening is that despite rising awareness and government efforts, the number of drug users doesn’t seem to be falling fast. As per a report published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the worldwide number of drug users remained almost stable in 2016. All this has resulted in the emergence of drug testing products that help in the effective detection of drugs in users’ body, hence driving the growth of at-home drug of abuse (DOA) testing market.

In an endeavor toward timely detection of drugs for teenagers to receive effective counseling and treatment, educational institutions and families are spending more on testing instruments, which is, in turn, driving the growth of at-home drug of abuse testing market. Rapid DOA test kits and breath analyzers are the two broad categories of the market by type. Of the two, rapid DOA test kits are more commonly used at homes and colleges.

 

Since drugs are most easily detectable in urine, the demand for rapid DOA test kits was the higher in 2017 as compared to breath analyzers. Another reason these products are leading to the growth in the at-home drug of abuse (DOA) testing market is that these are rather cheap and easy to use. It has been estimated that urine-based test cups will be the highest revenue generator of all rapid DOA testing equipment by 2023. Historically, test cup was the most popular rapid DOA testing kit category, followed by test dip card, test strip, and other equipment.

Seeing the rapid growth in the sector, it is being hoped that intoxication by drugs is caught early in troubled teenagers and that they receive all the emotional and therapeutic support they require.
