KEY TAKEAWAYS
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES & DRIVERS
Next-generation Lateral Flow Assay
Lateral flow assay (LFA) is a widely used point-of-care platform in clinical diagnostic and environmental applications from several decades ago. The adoption of advanced nanomaterials in LFAs is driving the industry forward by significantly enhancing their performance, making them more reliable for detecting substances in diverse applications. The integration of nanoparticles (NPs) in LAFs helps to address several challenges of point-of-care diagnostics, such as lowering the detection limits, sensitivity enhancement, multiplexing, and quantification of analytes. Currently, the efficiency and convenience of LFA diagnosis have been improved using some optical metal nanoparticles, such as carbon NPs, gold NPs (Au NPs), quantum dots (QD), and up-conversion NPs. Of these, owing to excellent optical properties and chemical stability, gold NPs (Au NPs) have now become the most popular and one of the most used optical nanometers in LFA.
Advancement in Lateral Flow Assay Solutions and Reagents
New technologies and reagents in LFAs are continuously advancing and improving accuracy and sensitivity by vendors. In addition, some new technologies have recently emerged in the market, such as photoacoustic techniques, Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), integration of smartphones and digital thermal readers, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) have become promising and popular technologies in LFAs industry. These technologies are enabling more accuracy and increasing sensitivity of LFAs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the increasing demand for high-sensitivity LFAs created lucrative opportunities for SERS technology. With high specificity in the serum sample, SERS becomes an effective medical device for diagnosing infectious diseases. Furthermore, this new technology offers more portability, digital analysis, rapid result delivery within 30 minutes, and versatility in use across several industrial applications.
Rising Acceptance of Point-of-care (POC) Testing
The point-of-care-testing (POCT) approach has expanded itself as having remarkable values in the diagnosis of infectious diseases as well as non-communicable diseases. Where, POCT has succeeded in meeting the current need for diagnostic strategies that can offer reliable, sensitive, fast, and highly accurate test results without incorporating complex procedures. This increasing demand has been accomplished by developing rapid bioanalytical sensors or tools such as Lateral Flow Assays (LFAs). The application of POCT in infectious disease diagnosis is well-known across the healthcare industry. However, its growing application in chronic diseases, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's fuels significant market growth. The growing mortality of these non-communicable diseases drives the significant demand for POCT.
INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS
Limitations of Lateral Flow Assays
Lateral flow assay is a widely used solution across healthcare and other industries, and it gained high momentum in recent years. However, it also has some limitations, such as low resolution, they are unable to control the flow rate, and demand for large volumes of reagents creating huge imitations in their usage. Many LFIAs are designed for point-of-care/as-needed use, providing inexpensive, quick, and easy testing that is desirable in many industries. However, regulators often need to confirm results using independent methods. Therefore, LFIA is only suitable for primary point-of-care/as-needed screening. With a long shelf life and no refrigeration required for storage, these tests are well-suited for use in developing countries. Lateral flow (antigen) testing is widely used to enroll children in schools and kindergartens for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection. The accuracy of these tests in adults varies widely and is often much lower than specified by the manufacturer.
