London, 24 December 2014: TechNavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, has published a report on the Pregnancy Detection Kit Market in the US 2015-2019, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.83 percent during the forecast period of 2014-2019.

From a consumer’s viewpoint, detection kits are used for their accuracy, convenience, increased sophistication, and rapid results. Demographic changes, better awareness of the product via online forums and other social networks, and internet retailing are changing the face of POC home diagnostic testing for the better. Rapid home testing pregnancy detection is expected to rise more in the coming years because of the convenience and increased reliability of results, both of which are driven by advances in technology.

“The early detection of pregnancy allows the implementation of proper care and the promotion of better health of the patient,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
