The "Global Drug of Abuse Testing Market (By Product Type, Sample/Test Type, End Users / Setting Type, Region), Regulatory Status, 20 Company Profile - Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global drug of abuse testing market is projected to cross US$ 5 Billion by 2024

Drugs of abuse testing involves detection of one or more illegal and/or prescribed substances in the urine, blood, saliva, hair, or sweat. The use of illicit drugs is increasing across the globe. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, nearly 5% of the global adult population consumed some sort of illicit drug at least once in 2015.

The market for drug of abuse testing is driven by strict government norms against illicit drug intake, technological advances in testing equipment, the increasing availability of forbidden drugs, and growing emphasis on workplace screening among the urban population.

On the other hand, legalization of drugs and lack of skilled technicians for drug of abuse testing are a few restraints hampering the growth of the market.
