July 19, 2016, DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market - Global Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.
The growth of the overall point-of-care diagnostics market is driven by factors such as prevalence of lifestyle and infectious diseases and the increasing inclination towards home healthcare across the globe. In addition, healthcare decentralization, miniaturization of POC testing devices, increasing number of conferences and events, and POC tests with multiplexing capabilities are offering new growth opportunities for players in the point-of-care diagnostics market.
On the other hand, stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies and pricing pressure owing to reimbursement cuts and budget constraints are the key challenges faced by the market players involved in the POC diagnostics market.
