Drug abuse testing devices are used to identify the presence of drugs of abuse such as opiates, marijuana, cocaine, phencyclidine and amphetamines in biological samples primarily urine. These devices are available in various testing formats including test cups, cartridges, cassettes and panels which offer easier and faster analyzing of samples. Drug abuse testing devices provide accurate identification of drugs from urine, blood, saliva and hair samples with the aid of technologies like chromatography and immunoassay. With increasing cases of drug abuse globally, there is a pressing need of drug abuse testing devices to control drug use and dependence.
The global Drug for Abuse Testing Devices Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.91 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.0% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key Trends:
One of the key trends in the drug abuse testing devices market is the shift towards more advanced drug testing technologies. Technologies like liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry are gaining prominence due to their advantage of identifying a wider range of drugs and drug metabolites in very low concentrations in samples as compared to conventional immunoassay based tests. Major players in the market are focusing on development of analytic instruments integrated with such technologies to offer more sensitive screening solutions for healthcare and law enforcement agencies. Another major trend is the ongoing research for development of drug abuse testing devices capable of detecting drugs from alternate sample types like oral fluid (saliva) and hair in addition to conventional urine and blood samples. This is expected to widen the applicability of drug screening in various settings.
