Analyst Review
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) quality controls (QC) are liquid or lyophilized samples or materials, which contain an established amount of analyte being tested. These controls are used in laboratories to ensure reliability and accuracy of test results in an in vitro setting. Quality control is used for monitoring the analytical performance of clinical laboratory testing processes. The IVD quality control products market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2016 to 2022. The market is driven by factors such as increase in the number of accredited laboratories across the globe, stringent mandates regarding the use of quality control products, and upsurge in the number of IVD test volumes across the globe.
The IVD quality control materials are manufactured by both IVD product manufacturers and independent third party manufacturers. The IVD quality control products market is divided on the basis of manufacturer into instrument manufacturer controls and independent manufacturer controls. The independent manufacturer controls segment is forecast to grow at a significant CAGR during the analysis period, owing to increase in adoption of multianalyte third party controls. These multianalyte controls decrease the operating cost of laboratories involved in maintaining a wide range of quality controls for IVD instrument (analyzer) to validate their precision, accuracy, and reliability. Moreover, long shelf life of third party controls enables the use of a single lot of controls rather than using multiple lots of reagents and calibrators.
North America and Europe dominated the IVD quality control products market in 2015. However, emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil are expected offer significant growth opportunities to key players in the IVD quality control products market during the high acceptance of third party quality controls, increase in the number of accredited laboratories, upsurge in volumes of IVD tests performed in the region, improvement in healthcare infrastructure, and rise in health awareness. Bio-Rad Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Randox Laboratories are the key players with significant shares in the global IVD quality control products market.
