Global Drug of Abuse (DOA) Testing Market is Expected to Reach $4 Billion by 2020: P&S Market Research

NEW YORK, December 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Drug of abuse testing is based on diagnosing drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, requiring a thorough evaluation and often includes an assessment by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Blood, urine or other lab tests are used to assess drug use, but they're not a diagnostic test for addiction. These tests may be used for monitoring treatment. The testing technologies consist of immunoassay technique and chromatography technique, used for both onsite as well as laboratory testing.

The use of illicit drugs is rising every year globally and has become a big concern for countries including the U.S., the U.K. Japan, Germany, India and China. Illicit drugs in use include heroin, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamine. With a rapid increase in drug trafficking, the need for drugs for abuse testing has been on rise. There are several factors driving the drug of abuse testing market, such as increased drug testing needs at the organizational level, a global rise in the use of illegal drugs and increase in the consumption of illicit drugs.

On the other hand, the drug of abuse testing market is impacted by social concerns attached with workplace drug testing and legalization of various illicit drugs. In November 2012, Colorado and Washington State legalized possession of small amounts of marijuana for private recreational use.

According to data from the UNODC and European crime-fighting agency Europol, the annual global drugs trade is worth around $435.0 billion a year, with the annual cocaine trade worth $84 billion.
