Regional Analysis of A Type Streptococcus Rapid Test Market 2025–2033

According to FutureWise analysis, the type streptococcus rapid test market in 2025 is US$220.3 million, and is expected to reach over US$416.05 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 8.27%. The rising prevalence of streptococcal infections and the increasing demand for point-of-care diagnostics are major factors driving market growth. Additionally, advancements in rapid antigen detection technologies and their broader use in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories are contributing to this expansion. Greater awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment efficiency is also fueling the global demand for rapid testing of streptococcal infections. In 2023, the market for rapid tests for Group A Streptococcus was valued at $34 million and is expected to exceed $60 million by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. This growth is primarily driven by the rising incidence of streptococcal infections, particularly among children and the elderly, as well as the demand for quick and accurate point-of-care diagnostics. Improved test sensitivity and heightened awareness of the benefits of early detection are also contributing to the adoption of these tests.

Group A streptococcus, also known as streptococcus pharyngitis, is a type of bacteria that can cause various infections, including strep throat, scarlet fever, and more serious invasive diseases. Strep throat is an infection that affects the throat and tonsils, primarily spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing. Although anyone can get strep throat, it is most common in children aged 5 to 15. Strep throat is easily treated with antibiotics; however, if left untreated, it can lead to severe complications. These complications include rheumatic fever, which affects the heart and joints, and glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney disease.

From 2024 to 2025, the Type A Streptococcus Rapid Test Market saw significant advancements. Roche received FDA clearance for its cobas Strep A test, while Abbott launched the ID NOW Strep A 2, which provides results in six minutes without requiring culture confirmation. QuidelOrtho expanded its Sofia Strep A FIA platform, and VivaChek gained IVDR certification in Europe for self-testing kits, indicating a shift toward at-home diagnostics. Innovative methods, such as saliva-based sampling and expanded distribution through pharmacies, are enhancing convenience and access, reflecting a strong trend toward rapid molecular diagnostics and regulatory acceptance of self-testing.
