Around 60% of the population effected with thyroid disorder are unware of the situation. Female population are 5-6 times more likely to develop a thyroid disorder.
Thyroid Function Tests Market: Drivers & Restraints:
TFT is found to be very effective in diagnosing thyroid condition in patient. With the increase in prevalence of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and increasing awareness among the patients, these tests are prescribed by all the physicians. These tests also helps to diagnose auto-immune disorder, such as Hashimoto’s Disease, Grave’s Disease and Thyroiditis.
The TFT market is expected to growth at a significant growth in the forecast period (2016-2025) due to the various advantages offered by these test and favorable reimbursement facilities.
Thyroid function tests are very effective in diagnosing thyroid disorders. However, there are also a few potential challenges associated with them. The major challenge is setting the “normal range” for these tests. Given the risk/benefit perspective seems unclear, treatment decisions need to be individualized, based on the severity of individual symptoms.
Thyroid Function Tests Market: Segmentation:
The TFT market is broadly classified into three segments based on the disease indication.
TSH Tests (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test)
FT4 Tests (Free T4)
FT3 Tests (Free T3)
The overall TFT market is further segmented by usage of these tests in different healthcare facilities.
Amongst all the healthcare facilities, hospitals are anticipated to account for majority of the TFT’s done worldwide.
