Cardiac biomarker testing market outlook in Asia-Pacific Thu, 27th Oct 2022 Article tags In-vitro diagnosticsPoint-of-care testing (POCT)AsiaIVD GatewayPoint-of-care testing (POCT) The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Asia-Pacific (APAC) is increasing and so is the demand for cardiac biomarker testing. More than half of the global CVD deaths in 2019 occurred in the region. Cardiac biomarkers play an increasingly important role in supporting timely, accurate diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndrome to prevent death. The market size of cardiac immunoassays used in central laboratories is expected to grow by more than 10% on an annual average from 2021 to 2026 in several APAC markets. Point-of-care (POC) solutions are challenging the dominance of lab-based tests to risk stratify and diagnose patients—especially in emergency settings, with an average 2021-2026 annual growth ranging from 2 to 10% across APAC’s markets. What are cardiac biomarker tests?Cardiac biomarker testing is a diagnostic cornerstone for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) such as myocardial infarction (MI)—or heart attacks—which are a common reason for emergency department (ED) visits. Commonly used cardiac biomarkers in testing include troponin, BNP, proBNP, myoglobin, and creatine kinase myoglobin (CK-MB).Cardiac biomarker testing can be done at central laboratories or at the point-of-care (POC) in different clinical settings such as acute care settings: operating rooms, intensive care unit and ED. POC cardiac tests and devices help to improve turnaround time for reporting results of cardiac markers, supporting timely treatment and medical intervention of emergency CVD cases Essential 2021-2026 insights into the APAC cardiac biomarker test market: The demand for cardiac testing is growing fastest in emerging countries such as India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.Most cardiac testing takes place at central laboratories, given the cheaper cost of testing with cardiac immunoassays compared to POC tests. In most APAC countries, the market size of cardiac immunoassays used in central laboratories is two to three times larger than POC cardiac tests.The POC cardiac test market is expected to grow strongly in key emerging markets including China, India and Southeast Asia. The POC cardiac test market is expected to grow at more than 8% on an annual average from 2021 to 2026, in countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. The POC cardiac test market is growing faster than lab-based cardiac testing in countries such as South Korea and China. In China, the nationwide expansion of chest pain centres is driving growth in POC cardiac tests.
