The thyroid function test market size was valued at $1,190 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $1,807 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2019 to 2026.
Thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland located at the base of the neck. Furthermore, the gland produces hormones such as triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4). In addition, these hormones are responsible in production and regulation of the hormones such as adrenaline and dopamine. Moreover, adrenaline and dopamine play a major role in emotional responses such as fear, excitement, and pleasure. In addition, hormones from this gland also aid the regulation of metabolism. Hence, the underproduction, and overproduction of these hormones can lead serious health deteriorations. Therefore, the testing of the level of these hormones in the body is highly essential. Thyroid function test involves series of blood tests used to measure adequacy of the levels of thyroid hormones. These blood tests can define whether the thyroid hormone production is normal, overactive, or underactive. It involves the different types of test such as T3, T4, TSH, and T3RU. In addition, these tests are conducted in diagnostic laboratories which are equipped with instruments which are used by medical professionals to carry out these tests. Furthermore, these tests are also carried out in hospitals where thyroid related diseases are diagnosed by specialists.
The global thyroid function test market is expected to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period, owing to increase in prevalence of thyroid disorders. For instance, approximately, 20 million Americans are suffering from some form of thyroid disease, and up to 60% of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. In addition, factors such as increase in awareness for early screening of disease, and presence of advanced diagnostic laboratories also fuel the growth of thyroid function test market. Furthermore, early detection of the disease, increase in number of geriatric population, and rise in number of awareness campaigns in developing countries further support the market growth of thyroid function test market. However, lack of insurance coverage for thyroid testing hampers the market growth. Conversely, growth potential exhibited by developing countries provide lucrative opportunities during the forecast period.
