Description
Molecular point-of-care (mPOC) diagnostic solutions offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity compared to existing near-patient and rapid tests. They expand diagnostic capabilities in critical care units, physician offices, outpatient clinics, and community health posts, aiming to assess conditions or admit patients accurately. The concept blends the accessibility of point-of-care (POC) testing with the precision of molecular technology. Kalorama Information has been covering mPOC on a regular basis since 2013.
Our latest report, The Market and Future Potential for Molecular Point-of-Care (mPOC), 11th Edition, is a valuable resource for understanding the size and growth potential of the molecular POC market from 2023-2028. mPOC has transitioned from a novel trend to a significant contributor to the market. Instruments from companies like Abbott, BioMérieux, Cepheid, and others play a substantial role in the IVD point-of-care market. Understanding these markets is crucial for assessing the opportunity in point-of-care testing and microbiology IVD.
The Market and Future Potential for Molecular Point-of-Care (mPOC), 11th Edition provides market sizing, forecasting, trend mapping, and competitive analysis for POC tests using PCR or other molecular technology, offering fast turnaround times and usability in near-patient settings.
Kalorama reports provide real-world analysis and modeling for relevant circumstances. Analysts offer insights into near-patient molecular testing using small instruments.
The data in The Market and Future Potential for Molecular Point-of-Care (mPOC), 11th Edition includes information on systems, competitor analysis, and the size and growth of the market.

Scope
The market definition for molecular point-of-care can be challenging compared to other markets that Kalorama Information covers as there are competing ideas about point-of-care or near-patient tests. But the future promise of molecular point-of-care is in sample-to-answer workflows and short result times that would make systems useful for a physician lab office. Therefore, systems like Roche’s cobas Liat, Abbott’s ID NOW (formerly the Alere i), and bioMérieux’s Biofire FilmArray 2.0 are the type of systems principally considered in market scope.
For the purposes of this report, systems must be capable of running CLIA-waived tests or have that capability in the near future. That being said there are a wide variety of molecular systems that could be classified as near-patient or rapid. Since sales of these systems may affect core markets, Kalorama also includes in the discussion and in some additional market considerations rapid molecular testing that may be challenging to define as point-of-care but have a point-of-care-like quality such as HAI or STI testing.
