The global hepatitis C testing market was pegged at US$ 1.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.
Market Fundamentals
A hepatitis C virus infection causes the viral illness hepatitis C(HCV). It is caused by encountering infected blood when using an infected needle, during surgery, during hazardous sexual behavior, etc. If not treated right away, it can become a chronic illness that damages the liver and causes inflammation. Hepatitis C testing is important because there are frequently no symptoms. The screening will assist in distinguishing HCV from hepatitis A and B and other forms of hepatitis.

Market Dynamic
The main factor driving the global hepatitis C virus testing market is the increased incidence of hepatitis C virus infection. The main factor that contributes to hepatitis C virus infection is poor blood donation practices. Prior to organ donation, hepatitis C testing is necessary, and expanding organ donation programs around the world is anticipated to fuel future growth. Increased product introductions for hepatitis C virus testing also contribute to the expansion of the global market.
However, the global hepatitis C testing market is being constrained by inadequate insurance coverage for hepatitis C testing and restricted access to routine healthcare.
Market Ecosystem
The global hepatitis C testing market has been analyzed from three perspectives: technique, test, end user, and region.
Hepatitis C Testing Market by Technique
[763453]
Based on technique, the global hepatitis C testing market has been divided into, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoassays, and others. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) segment dominates the global market. This is because of the accuracy provided by this technique and also because of the increasing prevalence of the hepatitis virus.
Hepatitis C Testing Market by Test
Based on the test, the global hepatitis C testing market is subdivided into, genotype tests, antibody tests, and viral load tests. The antibody test segment dominates the global market. This dominance is attributed to the benefits of antibody tests and advancements in the testing of the hepatitis C virus.
Hepatitis C Testing Market by End User
Based on the end user, the global hepatitis C testing market is subdivided into, stand-alone laboratories and hospital-based laboratories, and others. The hospital-based laboratories segment dominates the global market. This is because of the increased expenditure by hospitals in the diagnostics departments, large patient pool, and rise in the number of hospital-based laboratories.
Hepatitis C Testing Market by Region
Based on region, the global hepatitis C testing market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America dominates the hepatitis C testing market. This is attributed to the hepatitis C virus being the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the region. This increased the demand for HCV testing hence boosting the market growth. Also, there is an increased prevalence of hepatitis infection amongst women with live births over the years.
