The global drug of abuse testing services market is expected to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2025

Increase in demand for therapy for substance abuse is one of the crucial factors anticipated to boost the market. According to World Drug Report 2016, annually, treatments for drug abuse are accessible to only 17% of the total drug abusers.

Cannabis and amphetamine are some of the highly abused drugs globally. Approximately 183 million people used cannabis in 2014. Stringent regulations for drug abuse testing at workplaces, such as Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, etc., are expected to increase demand for screening kits over the forecast period.

Morbidity and mortality due to drug abuse are rising globally. One in every 4 deaths is attributed to tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug consumption. The overdose of opioids results in adverse and serious health conditions. In the U.S., the nonmedical use of prescription opioids has considerably increased. According to statistics reported by National Institute of Drug Abuse, overdose of opioids results in more than 90 deaths every day in the U.S. The rise in prevalence of comorbidities associated with substance abuse, such as HIV and hepatitis C, have resulted in increase in demand for screening procedures. Furthermore, increase in the number of government initiatives to control illicit drugs and alcohol usage and rise in number of treatment alternatives are also driving the market.
