HIV Self-test Kits
Market: Introduction
According to the report, the global HIV self-test kits market was valued at US$
60.3 Mn in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR
of ~17% from 2019 to 2027. HIV
self-testing is a screening test, which detects the presence of HIV-1/2
antibodies. HIV self-testing is a test in which a person collects his/her own
specimen and performs an HIV test in a private setting. HIV self-test kits are
a modified version of HIV rapid diagnostic test (RDT) with comparable
sensitivity and specificity. Growing uptake of HIV self-testing policies and
implementation is driving HIV self-test kits market globally. Increase in
prevalence of HIV infection and strong HIV self-testing product pipeline are
major factors anticipated to drive the global HIV self-test kits market during
the forecast period.
North America held major share of the global HIV
self-test kits market in 2018, owing to the presence of large
population suffering from HIV infection, scale-up of new HIV self-testing
distribution channels such as workplace programs, and medical insurance schemes
in the U.S. The HIV self-test kits market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand
at a high CAGR of 18.7% from 2019 to 2027,
due to increased donor investment and price reductions in the public sector in
low and middle income countries. This, in turn, is likely to drive the demand
for HIV self-test kits in emerging markets such as India and China.
Rise in Prevalence of HIV
infection Worldwide to Drive HIV Self-test Kits Market
Rise in prevalence of HIV infection globally is projected
to drive the HIV self-test kits market during the forecast period.
Approximately 37.9 million people were living with HIV
in 2018 with 1.7 million people becoming
newly infected in 2018 globally. Hence, rise in prevalence and
increase in burden of HIV has increased the patient pool undergoing HIV
self-testing globally, resulting in high demand for HIV self-test kits, which,
in turn, is likely to accelerate the growth of the global HIV self-test kits
market in the next few years.
Lateral Flow Immunoassay
to Dominate HIV Self-test Kits Market
In terms of technology, the global HIV self-test kits
market can be classified into immunofiltration, lateral flow immunoassay, and
fluorescent chromatography. The lateral flow immunoassay segment dominated the
global HIV self-test kits market in 2018 and the trend is
projected to continue during the forecast period, as lateral flow immunoassay
is a gold standard for HIV self-testing and most common technology used in HIV
self-test kits.
Blood to be Key Specimen
Type in HIV Self-test Kits Market
In terms of specimen type, the global HIV self-test kits
market has been segmented into blood, oral fluid, and urine. The blood segment
accounted for majority of the HIV self-test kits market share in 2018.
Various blood-based HIV self-testing products are under development, which
would be featured with painless or integrated lancets, simplified sampling
systems, and integrated buffer delivery systems. Furthermore, these products
are likely to have shorter minimum and maximum reading time, which is expected
to propel the blood segment during the forecast period. Growth of the urine and
oral fluid segments can be attributed to simplicity of procedures for
collecting samples than taking blood. Studies have also reported that HIV
self?testing with oral fluid self?test kits is accurate, with sensitivity of at
least 91.7% and specificity of at least 97.9%.

Increase in Second
Generation Tests
In terms of test generation, the global HIV self-test
kits market has been categorized into second generation and third generation.
The second generation segment held major share of the global HIV self-test kits
market in 2018. According to UNITAID, WHO, and PSI, majority of the
HIV rapid diagnostic tests for self-testing in the market as well as in
development are second generation tests.
North America to Lead HIV
Self-test Kits Market
In terms of region, the global HIV self-test kits market
has been segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and
Middle East & Africa. North America is projected to account for major share
of the global HIV self-test kits market during the forecast period, owing to
increase in number of individuals suffering from HIV infection.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human
Services, approximately 1.1 million individuals are infected
with HIV, out of which 15% are unaware about HIV infection,
which is anticipated to boost HIV self-test kits usage to check HIV status.
This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for HIV self-test kits for
patient care in the country. Favorable funding by the governments and
charitable trusts for HIV self-testing, prevention, and treatment in the region
is likely to drive the HIV self-test kits market in North America.
The HIV self-test kits market in Asia Pacific is
projected to grow at a rapid pace in the next few years. India and China are
anticipated to be lucrative markets for HIV self-test kits during the forecast
period, because of growing health care sector, rise to demand for use of in
vitro diagnostic kits, and high incidence of HIV infection.
