Kenya IVD Market to be Worth $68.66 Billion by 2032

Kenya IVD Market By Offering, Technology (Immunoassay, Point of Care, Molecular Diagnostics, Coagulation), Application (Infectious Diseases, Diabetes, Oncology), Diagnostic Approach (Lab, OTC, PoC), End User - Forecast to 2032


Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled Kenya IVD Market by Offering, Technology (Immunoassay, Point of Care, Molecular Diagnostics, Coagulation), Application (Infectious Diseases, Diabetes, Oncology), Diagnostic Approach (Lab, OTC, PoC), End User Forecast to 2032. According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the Kenya IVD market is expected to reach $68.66 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025 to 2032.

The high prevalence of infectious diseases, government initiatives supporting healthcare sector, increasing demand for quality diagnostics, and healthcare spending are factors driving the growth of the Kenya IVD market. However, market growth is restrained by the high costs of advanced technologies and limited awareness regarding in-vitro diagnostics (IVD).

In addition, increasing adoption of self-testing kits, emerging technologies, shift towards personalized medicine, and integration of digital health solutions provide considerable potential opportunities for market players. The market faces substantial challenges including limited access to rural areas, economic factors, and supply chain issues.

Key Players

The key players operating in the Kenya IVD market are Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Becton, Dickinson and Company (U.S.), bioMérieux SA (France), Danaher Corporation (U.S.), F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (Switzerland), QIAGEN N.V. (Netherlands), Siemens Healthineers AG (Germany), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (U.S.), Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., (U.S.), Illumina, Inc. (U.S.), Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd (China), The Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), Biovet Ltd., and Laboratories & Allied Ltd

The Kenya IVD market is segmented by Offering, Technology, Application, Diagnostic Approach, and by End User.  The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country levels.

By Offering, in 2025, the reagents & kits segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Kenya IVD market. The commercial availability of a diverse range of reagents & consumables for the diagnosis of various diseases, recurring use of assays & kits in the detection of various chronic diseases, and the increase in the volume of testing for infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza are the factors attributed to the largest share of the segment.

By Technology, in 2025, the immunoassay/immunochemistry segment is expected to account for the largest share of Kenya IVD market. The segment’s growth is driven by benefits of immunoassay technologies, such as efficient, convenient, and accurate research tools for the detection and quantitation of targets, continuous development of new biomarkers, and cost-effectiveness, coupled with the growing adoption of automated platforms for ELISA. Additionally, rising burden of malaria in the Kenya contributed to the high adoption of immunoassay/immunochemistry technology as it is preferred diagnostic platform for HIV, malaria, dengue, and other highly prevalent diseases. According to the WHO, Africa accounts for 94% of malaria cases (233 million) and 95% (580,000) of malaria deaths globally. In Kenya, approximately 70 percent of population is at risk for malaria, with 14 million people in endemic areas and another 17 million in areas of epidemic and seasonal malaria.

By Application, in 2025, the infectious diseases segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Kenya IVD market. This segment’s large market share is driven by the high prevalence of infectious diseases like COVID-19, dengue, and HIV in the region, increasing awareness about diagnostic testing, and the growing availability of low-cost rapid test kits. Moreover, outbreaks of diseases caused by previously unknown microorganisms, such as the Ebola virus, Zika virus, and Chikungunya virus, have had significant global impacts. Also, the emergence of respiratory infections like COVID-19 and influenza has led to significant mortality rates across Kenya. Similarly, HIV/AIDS remains a significant focus, with Kenya having an estimated 1.4 million people living with HIV. The country has made substantial progress in scaling up diagnostic testing, with over 90% of individuals aware of their HIV status due to widespread access to rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).

By Diagnostic Approach, in 2025, the laboratory testing segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Kenya IVD market. The large market share of the segment is attributed to the availability of several IVD tests and the higher accuracy of laboratory testing. Additionally, the increasing number of diagnostic laboratories in the country contributes to the largest share of the segment. Kenya has a growing network of public and private diagnostic laboratories. The Ministry of Health's National Public Health Laboratory Services (NPHLS) plays a key role in guiding testing protocols and expanding diagnostic capabilities. As of 2022, there were over 2,000 diagnostic laboratories in Kenya, with an increasing number accredited by international bodies such as the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) to maintain quality standards.

By End User, in 2025, the diagnostic laboratories segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Kenya IVD market. Diagnostic laboratories are a part of the healthcare system that provides testing services to hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare institutes. Diagnostic laboratories play a crucial role in healthcare, providing accurate diagnostic results for better disease management. Diagnostic laboratories process more samples in less time due to well-equipped systems and the presence of skilled professionals. These laboratories are private or public-owned and perform different kinds of tests on various samples to detect diseases. They receive samples from various healthcare centers, including hospitals and clinics. As of 2023, Kenya has over 200 accredited medical laboratories, with the majority concentrated in urban areas. Public laboratories, such as those under the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and the National Public Health Laboratories, serve as the backbone for disease surveillance and outbreak response. These factors contribute to the largest share of the segment.
