The global POC diagnostics market has been segmented on the basis of category (infectious diseases testing kits, glucose monitoring kits, cardiac markers, pregnancy and fertility testing kits, and others) and end users (patient professional monitoring kits and patient self-monitoring kits).

(U.S.), Siemens AG (Germany), and Beckman Coulter, Inc. (U.S.), which together accounted for -72% of the market.
