Market Dynamics

Introduction

Drug abuse testing is done to detect one or more illegal substances in the urine, saliva, blood, hair, or sweat. It usually involves initial drug screening and then a second test to confirm the presence of drugs. Some of the commonly screened tests include psych stimulants, narcotics, sedatives, and cannabinoids.

Market Drivers

The growth of the global drug abuse testing market is primarily driven by an increase in the consumption of illicit drugs and alcohol.

• Increasing initiatives by the government to monitor and fight drug abuse are likely to propel market growth at a significant rate.

• For instance, in India, on the occasion of International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, an annual Anti-Drug Action Plan for 2020-21 for 272 districts was launched by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to curb drug abuse and alcoholism.

• Increasing workplace safety standards is also likely to fuel product demand substantially.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak affected the growth of the drug abuse testing market for a short period due to disruption in business and economic activities across geographies. Postponement of non-essential medical services amid the COVID-19 outbreak also affected the growth of the drug abuse testing market.

Segments Analysis

Sample Type Trends

The market has been segmented into urine, hair, and oral fluid.
