(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 05, 2022 ) The use of mHealth for the diagnosis of rhinitis is currently limited, with a small number of mHealth tools for allergic rhinitis (AR) diagnosis published in peer-reviewed journals. Recent developments in integrated biosensors, wireless communication, and power harvesting techniques generate a new breed of point-of-care devices. However, AR is a very common disease. Any diagnostic device connected to a smartphone (e.g., peak nasal inspiratory flow meters or intranasal biosensors) would need to be inexpensive to be affordable.

"Consumables are expected to hold the largest share of the allergy diagnostics market, by product & service in 2021."
Based on product & service, the market is segmented into consumables, instruments, and services. In 2020, the consumables segment accounted for the largest share of the market. The large share of the consumables segment can be attributed to the increasing cases of allergies and the need for rapid tests to diagnose allergic conditions. The consumables segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
"In vivo tests are expected to hold the largest share of the market, by test type in 2021."
Based on test type, the allergy diagnostics market is segmented into in vivo tests and in vitro tests. In 2020, the in vivo tests segment accounted for the largest share of the market. The growth of this segment is mainly driven by the increasing adoption of various in vivo tests, such as skin prick tests. These tests are dependable, safe, convenient, and cost-effective, as compared to in vitro tests.
"Inhaled allergens are expected to hold the largest share of the market, by allergen in 2021."
Based on allergens, the allergy diagnostics market is segmented into inhaled allergens, food allergens, drug allergens, and other allergens. In 2020, the inhaled allergens segment accounted for the largest share of the market due to the increasing environmental pollution and rising pollen coupled with other factors such as fungus, mold, and dust.
"Diagnostic laboratories are expected to hold the largest share of the allergy diagnostics market, by end user in 2021."
Based on end user, the market is segmented into diagnostic laboratories, hospital-based laboratories, academic research institutes, and other end users. In 2020, the diagnostic laboratories segment accounted for the largest share of the market. The large share of the segment can be primarily attributed to the preference for proper diagnosis from a specialist, rising awareness regarding the management of allergic diseases, and the availability of funds for the operation of independent diagnostic laboratories.
"North America commanded the largest share of the allergy diagnostics market in 2021."
Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2020, North America commanded the largest share of the market.
