Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The global market growth is driven by factors such as the growing number of people consuming illicit drugs and alcohol and technological advancements in testing solutions. The stringent regulation imposed by governments in most parts of the world is expected further to propel the market's growth over the projected period.
Many sporting organizations worldwide have strict regulations on drug abuse since many sportspeople take illicit drugs to enhance their performance. Hence many sporting organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), International sports federation (ISF), and other major sporting bodies have introduced mandatory drug testing for participants before taking part in the sporting event which in turn is expected to boost the growth of the global market.
Many new drug testing products have been launched in recent years, and many are in the developmental stage. For instance, 908 Devices launched a new software update for MX908 in late 2018 that will have a new mission mode feature known as Drug Hunter, including a wide range of opioids, fentanyl, and amphetamines.
