The demand for point of care testing (POCT) is increasing across the globe because of the growing aging population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and lifestyle changes. POCT is the performance of a test nearby to the site of the patient care for providing immediate results outside the traditional laboratory environment. In addition to this, diagnostic companies, such as Alere, Abaxis, and Cepheid, have started recognizing the potential of quick molecular diagnostic testing, which why they have launched various point of care products that are based on microfluidic technology in the past few years. This, in turn, is expected to drive the requirement for Microfluidic Devices.

One of the key driving factors of the microfluidic devices Market is the growing demand for these devices in genomics and proteomics studies. Microfluidic devices are becoming more and more significant for various biological and chemical analyses. These devices have the ability to manipulate bio particles, including DNA, molecules, and cells, at a very micro level. Some of the advantages of these devices for genomics include reduced reagent consumption, improved test speed, and decreased size of devices, which makes the process efficient than other traditional methods. These factors are expected to result in increased requirement for microfluidic devices.
The utilization of microfluidic technologies for the miniaturization of chip is also leading to the rising adoption of microfluidic devices. The process of integrating laboratory protocols into miniaturized devices, known as lab on chip, includes various steps such as pre-treatment, separation, mixing, reaction, and pre-concentration. This further help in reducing the cost and consumption of reagent, which is also helpful in several medical diagnosis with the help of blood drop. Apart from reducing the overall cost of screening the compounds for cell biology problems, the miniaturization technique also aids in decreasing the analysis time and carrying parallel assay in microfluidic devices.
