A major trend in the Lyme Disease Diagnostic Market is the move toward rapid Point-of-Care (POC) testing solutions that can provide results within 15–20 minutes. These kits are designed for use in primary care settings or even "field" environments, allowing for immediate treatment decisions after a tick bite. To explore how rapid testing is reshaping the industry, visit the Lyme Disease Diagnostic Market page.

People also ask: Is there a rapid test for Lyme disease? Can Lyme disease be diagnosed at home? While currently smaller than the laboratory segment, the POC market is expanding at a rate of nearly 8% annually as consumers and rural clinics seek more convenient diagnostic options.

Future developments in POC technology include the use of microfluidics and AI-enhanced readers to improve the accuracy of these portable kits. By providing "lab-quality" results in a doctor's office, these tools can significantly reduce the time between infection and the start of life-saving antibiotic therapy.
