Drug of Abuse Testing Market – Regional Analysis
In North America, the usage of cocaine has been declining since 2006, partly due to a sustained shortage. However, more recently, a slight increase in prevalence of cocaine has been observed in the U.S., as there has been an increase in maritime seizures.

In Europe, cannabis is by far the most commonly consumed illicit substance, with an estimated 24 million users (4.3% of those aged 15 years to 64 years), followed by cocaine with 3.7 million users in 2013.

In Europe, the market has changed over the past decade, with cannabis herb produced locally or regionally now gaining ground over cannabis resin, largely sourced from Morocco, which previously was the dominant cannabis substance in Europe.

It appears that the flow of heroin along the long-established Balkan route, from Afghanistan to Western and Central Europe via Iran and Turkey, has declined in recent years. Some of the factors contributing to the decline in seizures along this route include the success of law enforcement authorities in key transit countries and a decline in demand in the destination market.

By far the highest prevalence of injecting drug use, with a rate 4.6 times the global average, is found in Eastern/South-Eastern Europe, where 1.3% of the population aged 15-64 are estimated to have recently injected drugs. Although the general public may perceive cannabis to be the least harmful illicit drug, between 2003 and 2012 the proportion of total treatment admissions for cannabis increased in Western and Central Europe, from 19% to 25%.

In Asia, it is estimated that cannabis is the most common illicit substance, with an annual prevalence of use of 1.9%, followed by ATS (excluding ecstasy) at 0.7%, ecstasy at 0.4%, opiates at 0.4% and cocaine at 0.1%, among those aged 15-64 years. The use of methamphetamine continues to rise in most of the countries in East and South-East Asia, with accompanying seizures of methamphetamine in pill and crystalline forms reaching record levels in 2012. It has been indicated that in East and South-East Asia, the use of ATS has both increased and diversified. ATS has been ranked among the three predominately used drug types in countries in the sub-region since 2009.
