The PCOS diagnostic Market is experiencing high growth owing to increased awareness and adoption of advanced diagnostics

The PCOS diagnostic market is estimated to be valued at US$ 710.0 Mn or Million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a fairly common health condition among women of reproductive age that can cause irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity. PCOS poses health challenges such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. Regular screening and early diagnosis of PCOS plays a key role in timely intervention and treatment.

Market Overview:
PCOS diagnostic includes various laboratory tests and imaging procedures used to evaluate and diagnose PCOS in women. Common diagnostic tests involve hormone level tests such as Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone. Ultrasound scans help visualize cysts on ovaries. Increased demand for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures and point-of-care tests is driving the market growth.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends witnessed in the PCOS diagnostic market is the growing adoption of infertility screening tests. As infertility is a major complication associated with PCOS, it is crucial to screen women with PCOS for fertility issues in order to plan further treatments. Biomarker-based non-invasive prenatal testing is gaining popularity for early and accurate PCOS detection. Several market players are focusing on developing advanced screening tests incorporating the use of proteomics and metabolomics for comprehensive PCOS diagnostics. Such advanced tests provide better fertility counseling while removing the need for invasive procedures. This trend is expected to significantly drive the future growth of the PCOS diagnostic market.
