North America Urinalysis Market Analysis and Size

A study conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in November 2021 revealed that around 40% of women in the U.S. are at risk of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI) at some point in their lives, primarily due to the high prevalence of uncomplicated UTIs. In addition, a report released by the National Kidney Foundation in 2021 highlighted that CKD is the leading cause of death, surpassing prostate and breast cancer. Approximately 37.0 million people in the U.S., which accounts for about 15% of the adult population, are predominantly affected by CKD.

North America urinalysis market size was valued at USD 1.62 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2.64 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2031.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Market Definition

Urinalysis is a diagnostic test that examines urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic properties. It is commonly used to assess the health of the urinary system and other organs, and to diagnose various medical conditions. Urinalysis can provide information about hydration levels, kidney function, urinary tract infections, and the presence of substances, such as glucose or proteins in the urine.     

Urinalysis Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Cases   

CKD is a serious condition characterized by gradually losing kidney function over time. The incidence of CKD increases with rise in prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Urinalysis plays a crucial role in the monitoring and managing CKD, as it can help healthcare providers assess kidney function, detect proteinuria (a common sign of kidney damage), and monitor disease progression. The rise in CKD cases globally is a significant driver for the urinalysis market.

• Rising Geriatric Population 

With the increasing number of aging people, the risk of developing kidney disease increases, making regular monitoring of kidney function essential. Urinalysis is a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing kidney health and detecting early signs of kidney disease in the elderly population. The aging population is more susceptible to urinary tract issues and kidney-related diseases, leading to a higher demand for urinalysis tests for early detection and monitoring of these conditions. 

Opportunities

• Technological Advancements in Urinalysis Devices       

The urinalysis field is experiencing a wave of technological innovation, with new developments such as smartphone-based urinalysis apps and wearable devices. These advancements allow for convenient and efficient monitoring of urinary parameters, enabling individuals to track their health in real time. Smartphone apps can analyze urine samples using the phone's camera and provide instant results. On the other hand, wearable devices offer continuous monitoring of urinary parameters, providing valuable data for individuals and healthcare professionals. These technological innovations not only improve the accessibility of urinalysis but also open up new possibilities for remote monitoring and personalized healthcare.

• Rise in Home Healthcare  

The shift towards home healthcare and self-monitoring needs convenient, user-friendly, and suitable solutions outside traditional healthcare settings. These solutions often include user-friendly testing kits allowing individuals to collect and analyze urine samples, with results available within minutes. In addition, digital platforms and telehealth services are being integrated with urinalysis devices, enabling individuals to share their results with healthcare professionals remotely.  This home-based healthcare is creating more market opportunities.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Cost of Urinalysis Tests  

The expenses involved in purchasing the necessary equipment and supplies, conducting the tests, and interpreting the results can be prohibitive for healthcare facilities and individuals alike. This can lead to a lower uptake of urinalysis tests, especially among low-income populations who may be unable to afford them. The cost associated with urinalysis tests can pose a significant barrier to their adoption, particularly in developing countries with limited healthcare budgets.

• Limited Access to Healthcare Services  

In many developing countries, healthcare facilities are concentrated in urban areas, leaving those in rural and remote areas with limited access to diagnostic services. This lack of access can be a major barrier to adopting urinalysis tests, as individuals may have to travel long distances to reach a healthcare facility that offers them. Limited access to healthcare services, especially in rural and remote areas, can also hinder the utilization of urinalysis tests.
