TechNavio today published its report Global Vitamin D Testing Market 2010“2014. The report discusses the current and future landscape of this market.
TechNavio™s report highlights that, as a result of changes in lifestyle and eating habits, many people are now prone to different diseases. In general, consumers living in cold countries are vitamin D deficient and are hence prone to several vitamin D deficiency-related diseases. Thus, there are higher chances of people in these countries undergoing the vitamin D test. Aging consumers who suffer from bone and teeth weakening due to a drop in calcium levels, too, drive demand for vitamin D tests.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Healthcare team said, At present, the cost for a vitamin D test is in the range of US$40“50 per test. Vendors such as Abbott Healthcare and Siemens Healthcare have introduced machines which can perform the tests for as low as US$20 per test. There has been a change in the process of testing, where the mass spectrometry systems could give the test measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 separately, at lowered costs.
Key findings from the report:
¢ Vitamin D Testing Among Overweight Children
¢ Lack of Awareness Regarding Vitamin D Testing in Warm and Humid Regions
¢ Development of Cost-effective Testing Processes
