(PharmaNewsWire.Com, August 15, 2019 ) As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Cardiac Biomarkers Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global cardiac biomarkers market size reached US$ 6.9 Billion in 2018. Cardiac biomarkers refer to endogenous substances including enzymes, hormones and proteins, which are released into the bloodstream when the heart muscles are damaged, or the organ is stressed. Also known as cardiac enzymes, these substances include myoglobin, troponin, creatine kinase and ischemia-modified albumin. The measurement of these markers aids in diagnosing conditions associated with insufficient blood flow to the heart. They evaluate the heart’s function and assist in the early diagnosis of certain diseases. They are also used in the risk stratification of patients with chest pain and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or myocardial infarction (MI). Physicians now widely prefer cardiac biomarker measurements over cardiac imaging diagnosis as these procedures are relatively simpler, cost-effective, and offer highly accurate results.
Changing lifestyles, hectic schedules and shifting dietary patterns have resulted in the frequent occurrence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and CVDs. This, along with growing awareness among the majority of the population regarding the importance of early diagnosis of these chronic diseases, is driving the demand for cardiac biomarkers. Also, quicker results and easy availability of point of care (POC) cardiac testing kits are further providing a thrust to the market growth. Furthermore, manufacturers are continually engaging in research and development (R&D) activities to develop technologically advanced product variants such as multi-assay biomarkers. Other factors creating a positive outlook for the market include rapid urbanization, rising disposable income, and favorable government initiative for making quality healthcare services accessible to all. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 11.6 Billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of around 9% during 2019-2024.
