Syphilis Testing Market

Market Overview:

The global syphilis testing market size reached USD 1.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during 2025-2033. The growing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the increasing incidences of miscarriages, and the rising need for effective disease diagnosing and testing solutions in the healthcare sector represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Syphilis refers to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is usually caused by sexual contact and is spread amongst individuals through the skin or mucous membrane contact. It starts as a painless sore on the genitals and rectum of the mouth. If left untreated, it might trigger complications of tertiary syphilis, wherein the disease may damage the brain, nerves, blood vessels, and joints. At present, rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and venereal diseases research laboratory (VDRL) are standard testing practices that are being used by practitioners. These approaches provide early detection for better treatment and mitigate the spread and development of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). As a result, syphilis testing is frequently used in laboratories and point-of-care (PoC) centers to diagnose the syphilis type and identify its proper treatment.

Syphilis Testing Market Trends:

The increasing awareness regarding STD treatment represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. In line with this, governments of various nations, along with different non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are actively undertaking campaigns to sensitize the common mass regarding the prevention of STDs, including syphilis, and the available treatment options. This, in turn, is facilitating the adoption of syphilis testing kits, such as syphilis rapid test strips, which is favorably supporting the market growth. These kits offer at-home testing with effective diagnostic results, and thus timely decision-making, which is also contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the convenience of usage and the easy availability of these test kits at online retail stores and in-store pharmacies at affordable price points are contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the considerable improvements in the healthcare sector and the recent research and development (R&D) activities to launch effective treatment alternatives are positively impacting the market growth. Moreover, the presence of favorable medical reimbursement policies for the testing of sexually transmitted infections is contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as the increasing prevalence of STDs, including syphilis, rising incidences of unprotected sexual intercourse, the widespread implementation of effective screening programs, and an enhanced focus on the early diagnostic of the disease, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
