Global Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Diagnostics Market to Reach USD 164.9 Billion by 2033, Propelled by Development of Multiplex Assays

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Diagnostics Market Report by Type (Chlamydia Testing, Syphilis Testing, Gonorrhea Testing, Herpes Simplex Virus Testing, Human Papilloma Virus Testing, Human Immunodeficiency Virus Testing, Chancroid Testing, and Others), Device Type (Laboratory Devices, Point of Care (PoC) Devices), End User (Laboratory Testing, Point of Care (PoC) Testing), and Region 2025-2033," the global sexually transmitted disease (STD) diagnostics market size reached USD 109.0 Billion in 2024. Sexually transmitted disease (STD) diagnostics refers to scientific tools and techniques used to identify, detect, and confirm the presence of STDs in an individual. It includes polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), point-of-care (PoC) devices, and self-testing kits. STD diagnostics utilize blood, urine, genital swab, and fluid samples to detect the presence of pathogens and markers related to STDs. It is widely used to diagnose chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human papillomavirus (HPV). STD diagnostics are highly efficient and accurate techniques that aid in the early detection of infections, enable timely intervention, prevent future complications, and increase patient outcomes.

Global Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Diagnostics Market Trends:

The rising prevalence of STDs due to unprotected sexual intercourse and drug abuse is one of the key factors propelling the market growth. STD diagnostics are widely used to determine the severity of infections, prevent further transmission, and identify potential treatment options to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, the growing awareness among the masses regarding early disease detection to avoid various future complications, such as cancer, congenital disabilities, and infertility, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the recent development of multiplex assays, which allows simultaneous detection of multiple STD pathogens in a single test, thus, reducing costs, saving time, and improving diagnostic accuracy, is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, the introduction of self-testing kits that allow individuals to conveniently test the presence of STDs in their homes without visiting healthcare facilities, which aids in improving accessibility, enhancing patient comfort, and maintaining privacy, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Apart from this, the implementation of supportive government policies to educate the masses about STDs, promote early detection, and provide access to high-quality treatment and testing facilities is contributing to the market growth. Other factors, including rising healthcare expenditure, increasing investment in the development of advanced diagnostic tools, and growing emphasis on sexual health among the masses, are anticipated to drive the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market value is expected to reach USD 164.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.47% during 2025-2033.
