CT/NG Testing Market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 7.1% between 2024 and 2032, driven by the increasing incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) coupled with growing awareness and screening programs.
There has been a global increase in the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhea (NG). For instance, according to an article published by the World Health Organization in 2023, more than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic. Factors contributing to this rise include changes in sexual behavior, inadequate access to preventive measures, lack of STI education, and evolving patterns of STI transmission. As STI rates continue to escalate, there is a growing need for effective screening and diagnostic tools to detect and manage these infections promptly.

Moreover, increased awareness about the prevalence and risks associated with chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhea (NG) infections is driving public health campaigns aimed at educating individuals about the importance of STI screening. These campaigns, often conducted by government health agencies, non-profit organizations, and healthcare providers, raise awareness about the asymptomatic nature of these infections, their potential complications, and the importance of regular testing, especially among sexually active populations and high-risk groups. Therefore, the aforementioned factors drive the adoption of CT/NG testing devices among individuals and healthcare providers.
CT/NG testing refers to the diagnostic process used to detect the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections in individuals. These tests are performed on various specimen types, including urine, genital swabs, vaginal swabs, cervical swabs, urethral swabs, and rectal swabs, depending on the anatomical site of infection. CT/NG testing plays a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing these infections, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of complications.
