HDL Cholesterol Kits Market Size (2024 - 2029)

HDL Cholesterol Kits Market Analysis

The HDL cholesterol kits market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the world economy and the healthcare system. People with underlying risk conditions and obesity were at greater risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, as per the data published by the CDC in March 2021, around 30.2% of the total COVID-19 hospitalizations were attributed to obesity. It was observed that obesity had increased exponentially during the pandemic. For instance, an article published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism in August 2021 showed that obesity prevalence is a significant and potentially modifiable risk factor for increased COVID-19 national caseload and mortality. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted patient visits in hospitals and clinics, which decreased the number of cholesterol testing procedures and hence impacted market growth. However, with the release of restrictions and resumed services, the market is expected to increase over the forecast period.

The growing importance of cholesterol screening in obese, hyperlipidemic, and diabetic populations, as well as growing awareness programs for high-risk cholesterol, are expected to drive market growth.

The incidence of obesity has been increasing fiercely over the past decades, and it is often described as a global endemic, especially in developed and developing countries where lifestyle-related disorders, such as anxiety, stress, smoking, and drinking, are more prevalent. Also, obesity is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, and it has also been linked to brain illnesses like Alzheimer's disease. For instance, according to the 2021 data published by the WHO, an estimated 38.2 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2021. The increasing consumption of junk and processed foods by children decreases the number of vitamins in the body, which is expected to increase the risk of developing high cholesterol. This raises the need to routinely screen cholesterol levels, which is anticipated to propel market growth over the forecast period.

Similarly, according to World Obesity Atlas data from 2022, 27 million children in India are expected to be obese by 2030. Thus, obesity increases the risk of developing high cholesterol due to an unhealthy diet, a lack of exercise, and underlying conditions such as diabetes. This is expected to increase the demand for cholesterol testing in order to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, fueling the growth of HDL cholesterol test kits over the forecast period.

Furthermore, according to a February 2021 article, dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, an unacceptably high incidence of dyslipidemia has been discovered in Mekelle City's adult population, emphasizing the critical need for early detection and public health interventions through the coordinated involvement of governmental, non-governmental, and public groups. This is expected to increase the population's need for early detection of cholesterol in order to avoid the risks of developing various chronic diseases. Therefore, all the aforementioned factors are expected to fuel market growth.

However, the errors and inaccuracies in HDL cholesterol testing methods are likely to impede the market's growth over the forecast period.
