The drug testing market is a fragmented market and is largely influenced by the growth in population of drug addicts. Based on the sample type, urine is the most widely tested biological matrix, without the need for venipuncture or potential infection at the site of injection. Whereas, hair sample segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR when compared with other segments due to advantages offered by it including high resistance to evasion by adulterating or substituting samples and also provides wider window of detection.

However, some countries have individual privacy protection rights, wherein drug abuse tests are considered as violations of an individual’s privacy. In addition, the most common drug test (urine test) that is used globally for its convenience, flexibility, and economical element can be manipulated to a certain extent, which can result in flawed conclusions. This could be a major hindrance for the growth of the drug screening market. Many key players have been working on rapid testing devices to avail the technology in the developing markets at reasonable costs.

North America accounted for the highest market share and is estimated to continue the same during the forecast period. This is attributed to the presence of better medical facilities and ease of availability of the drug abuse testing devices. However, untapped regions such as Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America, are estimated to emerge as lucrative markets, owing to the introduction of promising drug screening technology, growth in demand for the latest drug screening devices, and increase in disposable incomes.
