Types segmentation classifies kits by technological or functional attributes. Key subtypes include lateral flow immunoassays (LFIs) and isothermal amplification-based tests. LFIs dominate the market (~60%), offering simplicity, low cost, and rapid results (15–30 minutes), making them ideal for home and resource-limited settings. Isothermal amplification-based tests (e.g., CRISPR or LAMP technologies), though more complex and expensive, capture ~30% of the market due to higher sensitivity and specificity, catering to clinical and diagnostic labs. Emerging subtypes, such as multiplexed tests for co-detection of Influenza A/B or RSV, represent ~10% of the market, reflecting trends toward integrated solutions. This market taxonomy underscores the balance between affordability, ease of use, and diagnostic precision, with technological advancements driving differentiation and growth.
