Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising Prevalence of Diabetes
The rising prevalence of diabetes in India is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. As the diabetes prevalence increases, there is an increasing demand for HbA1c testing. The hemoglobin A1c test measures the percentage of hemoglobin A in the blood that has glucose attached. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation, In India, there are an estimated 74,194.7 million people between the age of 20-79 years suffering from diabetes. The number of diabetes number is expected to increase to 124,874.7 by 2045. Adults with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
High cost associated with HbA1c testing
The high cost associated with HbA1c testing is expected to hamper the market over the forecast period. For instance, Arkray PocketChem A1c HbA1c Test Kit may come at a price of a whopping 20,000 rupees This may limit the use of HbA1c devices in the country. Likewise, several manufacturers have high-end prices for HbA1c test kits, analyzers, and POCT devices which are not affordable by many middle-income families or a small diagnostic center with less investment.
Market Segment Analysis
The India HbA1c testing device market is segmented based on type, technology, modality, and end-user.
Technology:
HPLC based segment is expected to dominate the India HbA1c testing device market share
The HPLC-based segment is expected to hold a significant position in the India HbA1c testing device market. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, or HPLC, is the gold standard method for hemoglobin A1c testing. HbA1c testing uses various technologies like immunoassay, HPLC, nephelometry, turbidometry, and enzymatic assay. Ion-exchange HPLC is the most widely used technology, considered the gold standard for HbA1c quantification due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Most market leaders offer HbA1c testing products based on the HPLC technique, making it indispensable for HbA1c detection.
For instance, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. a major player in the market offers the HbA1c testing platform “Ion-Exchange HPLC System: D-100” which is based on HPLC technology. Another major player in the market ARKRAY, Inc. has an HbA1c portfolio based on HPLC technology, Likewise, Trivitron Healthcare an Indian based company offers an HbA1c portfolio based on HPLC technology. HbA1c tests performed in laboratory settings majorly use HPLC technology.
On October 15, 2023, an article published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information stated that HPLC is the most widely used technique for HbA1c quantification due to its resilience and specificity.
Major Players
The major players in the India HbA1c testing device market include F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, ARKRAY, Inc., Siemens Healthineers AG, Accurex Biomedical Pvt. Ltd., EKF Diagnostics Holdings PLC, Lifotronic Technology Co., Ltd., Abbott, HemoCue, i-SENS, Inc., Trivitron Healthcare and Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc among others.
