The global lyme disease testing market size is anticipated to reach USD 18.57 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary factors driving this market are the increasing prevalence, supportive government policies regarding healthcare facilities, and the introduction of new diagnostic tests for Lyme disease. In addition, the growing incidence of tick-borne diseases further expands the global market. For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. Fair Health Organization reported that Lyme disease has significantly increased in prevalence over the past 15 years, becoming a growing national concern.
Growing government initiatives and preventive measures significantly drive the market growth. For instance, in July 2022, an article titled "New laws seek to boost funding of Lyme disease research" highlighted that New York officials have increased funding for Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses through a new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul. This bipartisan measure will establish a voluntary tax check-off box to support education, research, and prevention efforts related to the disease in the region. Despite the high incidence of Lyme and tick-borne illnesses, it is believed that the actual number of cases is much higher due to inaccurate diagnostic testing.
Heightened awareness and education are further propelling market growth. Public health campaigns to educate communities about prevention strategies and symptoms have become increasingly prevalent. This growing awareness leads to more individuals seeking medical attention when they exhibit symptoms consistent with the disease, thereby driving demand for reliable testing options. Furthermore, educational initiatives targeting healthcare professionals ensure they remain informed about best practices for diagnosis and treatment.

Based on technology, the other segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 88.6% in 2023. The widespread adoption of these tests, considered the gold standard for testing due to their high specificity and sensitivity, significantly contributed to the growth of this segment
Based on testing, the serological test segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 53.1% in 2023. These tests dominated the market as they are widely available, affordable, established, and reliable in detecting antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi. This makes them a trusted and accessible option for healthcare providers and patients
Based on sample, the blood segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 62.4% in 2023. This is due to the blood tests, such as ELISA and Western blot, which can effectively detect antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria causing Lyme disease. Blood samples are also easy to obtain and handle, making them a practical choice for widespread diagnostic use
Based on end use, the hospital segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 58.4% in 2023. Firstly, hospitals can access advanced technology and diagnostic tools, enabling accurate & timely testing. The high hospital patient volume, including those with complex and severe symptoms, necessitates reliable diagnostic services, further driving their market dominance
In January 2024, DiaSorin announced that it submitted the LIAISON LymeDetect test to the U.S. FDA in December 2023. Developed in partnership with QIAGEN, this test detects IgG, IgM, and T-cell mediated responses using QIAGEN’s proprietary QuantiFERON technology, an Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA). This novel solution will enhance DiaSorin's LIAISON immunodiagnostic offerings in the U.S. market, representing a significant milestone in its collaboration with QIAGEN
