GLYCATED ALBUMIN ASSAY MARKET ANALYSIS

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with a high prevalence worldwide. Glycated proteins can be used as an indicator of glycemic control, as diabetic patients have increased glycation between different proteins compared to non-diabetic patients. Glycated albumin (GA) accurately reflects short-term and postprandial plasma glucose changes.

Global glycated albumin assay market is estimated to be valued at US$ 571.0 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.07% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Analysts’ Views on Global Glycated Albumin Assay Market:

Rising demand for more accurate diagnostics methods for diagnosis of diabetes is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, an article published in Springer Nature, which is a scientific journal, stated the recent developments in biomarkers for diagnosis and screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
