Cystatin C Testing Market Unlocking Growth Opportunities: Analysis and Forecast 2025-2033

Key Insights

The Cystatin C Testing Market size was valued at USD 404.02 USD billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 647.05 USD billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7 % during the forecast period. The market for Cystatin C testing has been steadily rising, mainly due to the fact it provides a more accurate depiction of the renal function and the GFR compared to the creatinine-based tests even in conditions where the non-renal factors affect the creatinine levels. Cystatin C is a marker independent of muscle quality or diet and is not upregulated during inflammation, which has made it superior to other renal biomarkers. Employed mainly in the identification and staging of CKD and in exhibiting renal function in diabetic and hypertensive individuals and elderly population, Cystatin C tests include immunoassays as well as mass spectrometry. Technical advancements continue to intensify – test sensitivity, and specificity, thereby improving early diagnosis, and management of kidney diseases and reducing the incidence of end-stage renal diseases.
