The prevalence of various infectious diseases has significantly increased in the GCC region, over the past decade. The threat from these diseases to public health has increased significantly, which has resulted in the growing adoption of new diagnostic techniques, including point-of-care testing. In the GCC countries, there has been an increase in the demand for IVD devices, on account of the ageing population, escalating prevalence of lifestyle diseases, and growth in the healthcare sector of the region. Additionally, the market is also impacted by the establishment of standalone centers, independent diagnostics chains, and academic institutes. GCC growth is also seen as a result of higher investments in healthcare, from both the government and private sectors, and increasing incidences of lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and several others. The market is further driven by the technological advancements in devices for early and precise detection of diseases. In few countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, policies allowing HIV self- testing are currently under development, which, once established, are expected to have a positive impact on the usage and adoption of HIV rapid test devices.
