Introduction
Creatinine test is a type of blood test that measures the level of creatinine in the blood. When creatine, an amino acid found in the muscle, breaks down, it forms a waste product known as creatinine. It is a waste product that the kidneys normally eliminate from the body. Creatinine levels in the blood help to determine if the kidneys are working well. The growing prevalence of chronic kidney diseases, technological advancements in the kidney function testing, and initiatives taken by the government to control chronic kidney diseases are expected to drive market growth. According to a study published by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) in December 2016, the overall prevalence of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) in the US was approximately 14%. However, false estimates of creatinine tests may hamper the growth of the market.
The global creatinine test market is expected to reach a market value of USD 604.55 million by 2023 from USD 407.41 million in 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2017 to 2023. In 2016, the Americas held the highest share of the market at 35.4%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific with shares of 31.4% and 20.5%, respectively. The increasing prevalence of kidney diseases worldwide is expected to increase the growth of the market during the forecast period.
