Latin America Radioimmunoassay Market

Latin America RIA Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the Latin America radioimmunoassay market was forecasted at USD 55.57 million in 2024. It is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 3.97% and worth USD 67.51 million by 2029.

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is an advanced and rapid technology for finding target molecules in various biological substances, paving the way for this technology in the research and development and diagnosis of various diseases, such as cancer. This technique is sensitive because it can cause cancer in the initial stage, treat peptic ulcers, extend neurotransmitters, fast detection of infections, precise identification of allergens in food, etc. In 2020, nearly 10 million deaths were recorded due to cancer and its complications across the globe. The number of cancer deaths worldwide is predicted to increase to 16.5 million by 2040. The most common type of cancer in 2020 was reported to be breast cancer, with around 49 prevalent cases per 100,000 population across the globe.

Among the various applications of RIA, there is increased adoption in the pharmaceutical industries, research laboratories, and contract-based research organizations (CROs), collaborations with medical institutions, has led to the growing demand for industrial and home-based kits. In addition, the increasing need for quality, error-free results to ensure patient satisfaction has led research laboratories and diagnostic centers to opt for high throughput automated procedures. It is also one of the significant factors which have driven the growth of the Latin America RIA market to a large extent.

RIA is also used in neurodegenerative disorders, infectious diseases for endocrine or hormone testing, and autoimmune disease testing. Factors such as increasing cancer incidence rate, sedentary lifestyle, use of processed food items, aging population, heavily polluted urbanization, and others are predicted to drive the market during the forecast period.

However, the use of hazardous, radioactive material in the immunoassay, the high cost of the equipment required for the procedure, and lack of complete reimbursement policies for the test are some of the factors predicted to limit the growth of the Latin American radioimmunoassay market.
