The HEV diagnostic test market has seen several important developments, especially in improving test speed, sensitivity, and accessibility. New rapid diagnostics kits now allow point-of-care testing, which is especially valuable in outbreak settings. Molecular assay kits (RT-PCR) are being optimized for lower costs and faster turnaround times, making them more accessible outside top-tier laboratories. Advanced immunoassay kits with improved specificity for distinguishing acute vs past HEV infection are being introduced. The Hepatitis E Diagnostic Test Market Future Outlook suggests these innovations will be central to market expansion.

Forecasts indicate sustained growth through 2035, in line with global efforts to improve infectious disease monitoring, increase public health funding, and stronger diagnostic networks. By 2035, market size reaching USD ~4.12 billion implies large potential, particularly in regions with historically under-diagnosed HEV burden. Partnerships between diagnostic manufacturers and public health authorities will be critical to extend reach.

Emerging opportunities include development of point-of-care diagnostics (mobile, field-deployable), multiplex assays that test HEV along with other hepatitis viruses, and integration of diagnostics with digital health platforms for reporting and tracking. Additionally, regulatory harmonization and subsidies may reduce cost barriers.
