Cardiac Biomarkers Market 2019 Analysis, Opportunities And Forecast To 2025

Market Forecast
Cardiac Biomarkers Market is expected to cross USD 4236.02 Million by 2025 at a CAGR of 16.36%.
Cardiac biomarkers are protein molecules released into the bloodstream from heart muscle damaged by a blocked artery. These enzymes are measured to have an idea of how much muscle damage has been done. These biomarkers are specially used to help diagnosis, evaluate, and monitor patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the global Cardiac Biomarkers Diagnostics Market Trends. Out of the 17 million premature deaths due to noncommunicable diseases in 2015, 82% were in low- and middle-income countries, and 37% were caused by cardiovascular diseases.
Market Synopsis
Tests for cardiac biomarkers are used to diagnose acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiac ischemia, conditions associated with insufficient blood flow to the heart. These biomarkers are also helpful in determining a person's risk of these conditions and also helps monitor and manage someone with ACS and cardiac ischemia.
Troponin T and I, CK-MB, and myoglobins are most commonly in the evaluation of acute coronary syndrome. Out of this troponin T and I are the markers of choice for detecting the heart damage. However, other cardiac biomarkers are less specific for heart and may be elevated in other conditions like severe muscle injury, liver disease, and kidney disease.
The increasing incidence of cardiac diseases and related conditions are strongly motivating market players to introduce new efficient technologies in the market.
Market Influencers
High prevalence of cardiac disorders and increasing participation of market players are actively facilitating the growth of the cardiac biomarkers market. In September 2019, Abbott received FDA clearance for ARCHITECT STAT High Sensitivity Troponin-I blood test. This troponin diagnostic test will be used to detect heart attacks faster and more accurately than contemporary troponin tests.
Market Drivers
  • High prevalence of raised blood pressure: Raised blood pressure is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of this troponin T blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and over was around 24.1% in men and 20.1% in women in 2015

The Americas dominated the global market for laboratory clinical informatics owing to the escalating healthcare cost coupled with the rising pressure to bend the cost curve resulted in increased regional adoption of laboratory information management systems. According to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, in 2018, Americans spent USD 3.65 trillion on healthcare. It is also stated that the level of spending is by far the highest in the developed world.
In 2018, it was estimated that Europe stood second in the global laboratory informatics market. Technological advancements, along with the availability of funding opportunities in research and innovation, will support the growth of healthcare laboratory informatics. Germany commanded the largest share in the European market for medical laboratory informatics due to growing automation of laboratory systems.
Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to represent the phenomenal growth in medical informatics throughout the forecast period due to rising participation of market players and increasing healthcare funding. In 2018, Sysmex Corporation, Japan-based company, launched a new network solution Caresphere. The solution is designed to provide new value through the intelligent use of information by people involved in testing and healthcare.
On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa held the least share in the global Laboratory Informatics market due to the low economic development, especially within the African region.
