Abbott Bags U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization for ID NOW – A Molecular POC Test  

In March 2020, Abbott received the U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for ID NOW – a molecular POC test – for the detection of COVID-19. The rapid test offers positive results within 5 minutes and negative results in around 13 minutes. Abbot noted that the test would run on its ID NOW platform, offering fast and accurate results in a broad range of healthcare settings, including urgent care clinics, physicians’ offices, and hospital emergency departments.

Increasing Prevalence of COVID-19 to Create Promising Market Opportunities  

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, a daily exponential rise in coronavirus cases was witnessed. With millions of people suffering from COVID-19 infections across the world, the demand for fast, reliable, and accurate testing has gone up. As diagnostic companies and biopharmaceutical firms accelerate R&D efforts, the market will witness steady growth. The prevailing and highly uncertain nature of the pandemic is expected to drive the COVID-19 diagnostics market growth over the projected period. 

Abbott to Hold Substantial Market Share Owing to Diversified Products Portfolio

Abbott is a prominent name in the global COVID-19 diagnostics industry. In 2021, the company captured the largest market share. Abbott’s revenue increased by 21.8% in 2021, from USD 34.61 billion in 2020. Robust R&D activity, product innovation, and regulatory approvals are the key factors attributed to the company’s dominant position as a major market shareholder. Recently in March 2021, Abbott bagged the U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Self-Test for COVID-19 detection. Other notable players include PerkinElmer Inc., Danaher, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, and Siemens Healthineers AG.
