## Frequently Asked Questions

# CHAPTER 12 - FAQs

#### Q: What was the size of the India Point-of-Care Testing market in 2025?

**A:** The India Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Market was valued at USD 1,140 million in 2025. The estimate covers near-patient and self-testing instruments, meters, readers, strips, cartridges, cassettes, reagents and rapid-test kits sold for domestic use. It excludes centralized laboratory systems, diagnostic-service fees, imaging equipment, exports and continuous glucose-monitoring systems. The market was supported by approximately 815 million test equivalents and a distributed base of hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, community facilities and households. [kenresearch.com](https://www.kenresearch.com/industry-reports/india-poct-market)

**Data used:** USD 1,140 million market value (2025); 815 million test equivalents (2025)

**So what:** Investors should evaluate recurring consumables and installed-base utilization rather than headline device shipments alone.

#### Q: How fast will the India POCT market grow through 2031?

**A:** The market is forecast to grow at a 9.41% CAGR from 2025 to 2031, reaching USD 1,955 million by 2031. Annual value growth should remain close to 9.4% as test volume expands and the product mix shifts toward molecular cartridges, reader-assisted immunoassays, cardiac panels and connected analyzers. Volume is projected to reach approximately 1,280 million test equivalents by 2031, with value growth outpacing volume because advanced assays carry higher blended prices and stronger service requirements.

**Data used:** 9.41% forecast CAGR (2025-2031); USD 1,955 million forecast value (2031)

**So what:** Strategy teams should prioritize platforms where consumable growth and mix improvement reinforce each other.

#### Q: Where will the largest profit-pool shift occur?

**A:** The profit pool will shift from stand-alone visual rapid kits toward connected analyzers, portable molecular systems and recurring high-value cartridges. Glucose testing remains the largest volume pool, but molecular infectious-disease, cardiac-marker, coagulation and compact immunoassay formats should contribute a disproportionate share of incremental gross profit. Vendors that combine instrument placement, assay pull-through, software, quality management and field service can earn more durable revenue than suppliers competing only on kit price. Localized consumables will further improve tender economics and working-capital resilience.

**Data used:** 62,000 connected analyzers (2025); 130,000 connected analyzers projected (2031)

**So what:** CEOs should redesign portfolios around platform lifetime value, not individual test-kit margins.

#### Q: What is the most material risk to market execution?

**A:** The most material risk is inconsistent quality and operator governance across decentralized sites. India regulates IVDs through four risk classes under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, while POCT deployment can involve thousands of non-laboratory operators. Inadequate training, calibration, external quality assurance, patient identification or result integration can reduce clinical trust and raise repeat-testing costs. Price pressure compounds the risk because public tenders may underfund service, controls and connectivity even when those capabilities are essential to safe scale. 

**Data used:** Four IVD risk classes (MDR 2017); 1,81,873 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (2025)

**So what:** Suppliers should price quality management and operator support into contracts from the outset.

#### Q: How does India compare with relevant Asia-Pacific POCT markets?

**A:** India ranks third among the selected peer markets by modeled 2025 revenue, behind China and Japan but ahead of South Korea and Indonesia. Its 9.41% forecast CAGR exceeds the mature-market growth rates modeled for Japan and South Korea, while trailing the faster expansion expected in China and Indonesia. India's advantage is scale combined with underpenetration: low per-capita health spending and broad public screening create demand for affordable systems, whereas mature peers have higher spending intensity but slower expansion.

**Data used:** Third-place peer ranking (2025); 9.41% India CAGR (2025-2031)

**So what:** Market entry should combine India-specific affordability with technology capable of scaling across Asia.

#### Q: Which demand driver has the strongest long-term impact?

**A:** Chronic-disease screening and monitoring is the strongest durable driver because it generates repeat testing rather than one-time outbreak demand. The National NCD Portal had enrolled 74.97 crore beneficiaries by December 2025, and more than 8.64 crore patients were under treatment for hypertension and diabetes. This supports recurring glucose, HbA1c, lipid and renal-risk testing across public facilities, clinics, pharmacies and homes. Infectious-disease testing remains strategically important, but chronic care provides more predictable consumable pull-through. 

**Data used:** 74.97 crore NCD beneficiaries (2025); 8.64 crore treated patients (2025)

**So what:** Vendors should build retention programs and replenishment channels around chronic-care cohorts.

#### Q: How can domestic manufacturers improve competitive position?

**A:** Domestic manufacturers can improve position by localizing reagents, cartridges, plastics and electronics while maintaining clinical performance and post-market quality. The medical-device PLI scheme has an INR 3,420 crore outlay, and 19 greenfield projects had been commissioned by September 2024. Competitive advantage will depend less on low-cost assembly alone and more on assay menus, field-service uptime, tender execution, regulatory documentation and digital connectivity. Export capability can provide additional scale once domestic validation and quality systems are established. 

**Data used:** INR 3,420 crore PLI outlay; 19 commissioned greenfield projects (2024)

**So what:** Localization plans should target consumable chemistry and quality systems before broad hardware expansion.
