Kalorama Forecasts $2.3 Billion HbA1c Market by 2029, Driven by POC Growth, Emerging Markets, and Digital Innovation
ARLINGTON, Va., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kalorama Information, a leading publisher of healthcare market research, has released The World Market for HbA1c Testing: Trends, Technologies, and Growth Opportunities, 2025, in conjunction with a related webinar held in April. This comprehensive report delivers critical insights for diagnostic developers, healthcare providers, investors, and strategic planners navigating the rapidly expanding global HbA1c testing market.
In 2024, the global HbA1c in vitro diagnostics (IVD) market generated $1.7 billion and is projected to reach $2.3 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The report underscores the growing role of HbA1c testing in diabetes screening, monitoring, and personalized care—particularly as point-of-care (POC) adoption accelerates to meet demand for fast, decentralized diagnostics.
"Laboratory-based testing has long been the gold standard for HbA1c," said Daniel Granderson, Senior Editor at Kalorama Information. "But with advancing technology and rising demand, we're seeing a significant shift toward POC testing. These platforms have been a major driver of diagnostics market growth over the past decade."
Key Findings:
North America and Europe accounted for over 73% of 2024 revenues, but Asia-Pacific and Latin America are gaining momentum due to aging populations, rising diabetes prevalence, and expanding healthcare systems.
Lab-based HbA1c testing remains dominant, but POC platforms are growing faster due to convenience and innovation.
Abbott leads the market with a 17% share, followed by Roche (11%) and Bio-Rad. The top five HbA1c competitors combine to account for 45% of the overall market.
Emerging technologies—nanotech, mobile-connected assays, AI, and deep learning—are enabling real-time, home-based monitoring and predictive care.
Why This Report Matters Now:
