Middle East and Africa Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market Size

The Middle East and Africa (MEA) point-of-care (POC) diagnostics market plays a vital role in improving healthcare accessibility, early disease detection, and rapid treatment decisions. POC diagnostic devices are extensively used across hospitals, clinics, home healthcare settings, and remote areas to deliver quick results without relying on centralized laboratories. These solutions enhance patient outcomes by enabling timely diagnosis for infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and maternal and child health, making them indispensable in the region's healthcare systems.

According to the latest study by Persistence Market Research, the Middle East and Africa point-of-care diagnostics market is estimated to reach a value of US$ 6.1 Bn in 2031 from US$ 2.7 Bn recorded in 2024. It is anticipated to capture a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2031. Growth is primarily driven by rising prevalence of communicable diseases, increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure, and government-led initiatives to improve diagnostic accessibility in rural and underserved areas.

Market expansion is further supported by the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Among the test categories, infectious disease testing emerges as the leading segment, given the high prevalence of HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis in several African nations. Geographically, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries dominate the regional market, attributed to strong healthcare investments, supportive regulatory policies, and adoption of advanced diagnostic technologies. Meanwhile, Sub-Saharan Africa represents a high-growth potential area, driven by international collaborations and funding aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery.
