Product Overview

Non-invasive technical analysis of biological samples for the detection of the presence of metabolites of illegal prescription substances, such as blood, hair, urine, etc., is a substance abuse test. Drug testing is often gradually used for sports clubs, employers, forensic purposes, and many other applications. Checking for drug addiction is used to evaluate or identify the presence of illicit drugs in a sample of an individual, such as urine, hair, skin, blood, etc. Checking for substance addiction is extremely complex and requires a specialized approach, kits, and experience to be fully understood. Drug addiction testing is commonly used as a deterrent to illicit drug use and as an objective means of tracking drug abuse by patients, job applicants, workers, athletes, and students. Different illegal drugs such as morphine, cocaine, LSD, amphetamines, alcohol are widely used as the drug of abuse.

Global Drug of Abuse TestingMarket: Segments

AnalyzersSegment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30

The global Drug of Abuse testing market is segmented byProduct Type into immunoassay analyzers, chromatography instruments and breath analyzers. The greater market share in 2018 was accounted for by the immunoassay analyzers segment due to its features such as rapid, inexpensive and convenient methods to screen large numbers of samples in a variety of matrices when compared to other methods. Breath analyzers market size is projected to grow with the highest CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. Due to technological advances, increased sensitivity, shortened testing times and easier identification of newly developed designer drugs, the demand is expected to increase over the forecast period.

Analysis of UrineSegment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30

Global Drug of Abuse Testing Market is segmented by component into the urine, Saliva and blood and other samples. The greater market share in 2018 was accounted for by the urine segment as Urine samples contain secreted metabolites that can be used to detect the presence of illicit drugs. Many laboratories have been set up to perform urinalysis associated with the treatment of methadone and have had to greatly expand their capability. Many new laboratories have appeared in recent years to meet the demands of drug studies and medical center-affiliated clinical laboratories, which in recent years have begun to expand into drug testing under economic pressure. The market segment for urine analysis is therefore expected to experience substantial growth in the near future.

The forensic laboratories segment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30

Global Drug of Abuse Testing Market is segmented by component into Hospitals, Forensic Laboratories, Diagnostic Laboratories and others. The greater market share in 2018 was accounted for by Hospitalsegment as alcohol, medicines, and other testing are carried out to handle workplace processes through numerous commercial and government laboratories. In order to obtain forensic results, judicial or medicolegal drug abuse research exams are frequently performed. Currently, substance detection based on hair samples has become more and more popular with major applications in forensic investigations. These main uses include narcotics-related deaths, child protection, drug-facilitated abuse, sports doping, and clinical toxicology. Thus, the above aspects will drive the segment's growth over the projected period.

Global Drug of Abuse TestingMarket: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing Demand for Drug Abuse Treatment

Increased corporate acceptance, increased consumption of illegal drugs, and increased production and trade of illicit drugs worldwide are driving the demand for substance abuse testing. The demand for such products is also growing with the worldwide rise in the number of road accidents and death rates, government and non-profit initiatives to reduce the level of drug abuse, and technological advances. The factors hindering the growth of the industry include the legalization of illicit substances, social problems associated with studies into substance misuse, and the inability to identify low-dose designer drugs.

Stringent Law Mandating Alcohol and Drug Testing

The increase in the number of people who consume alcohol and illicit drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, and others, is one of the key drivers of the drug abuse research industry. In addition, technological advances in drug screening/testing systems and stringent government regulations mandating drug screening are driving the market growth. In addition, market growth is also led by a rise in the number of substance abusers and an increase in the number of government interventions to avoid the adverse effects of drug abuse in the workplace and a decline in the number of accidents due to the use of illicit drugs.

Restrain

Lack of Awareness Regarding the Availability of Advanced Drug Testing Devices

Low awareness, insecurity, and inadequate social assistance have increased illicit drug use in developing countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Therefore, the substance abuse testing market is projected to see sluggish growth in these areas. Easy access to illicit drugs, insufficient information and inadequate infrastructure to provide drug testing facilities are expected to hinder the growth of demand in developed and low-income countries for drug abuse testing.

Global Drug of Abuse TestingMarket: Regions

Global Drug of Abuse testing market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions. These include North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC and MENA.

Global Drug of Abuse testing market in North America held the largest market share of XX.X% in the year 2018. Drug addiction is a big issue that can lead to legal, financial, and health problems, and North America is currently facing the same problem. Therefore, various initiatives are conducted by the United States government to control the impact and to determine whether a population is abusing drugs. The adaptation of technologically advanced substance abuse testing instruments, increased demand for illicit drugs in the region, and large-scale drug trafficking, which is responsible for market growth in the region over the forecast period.
