Overview of the global drugs of abuse testing market
The report indicates that the global market for drugs of
abuse testing is forecast to grow at a 4.8% CAGR between
2013 and 2018. The market was worth US$2.6 billion in
2012, and assuming the CAGR holds true, the drugs of abuse
testing market will be worth US$3.4 billion by 2018.

The rising production, trade, and consumption of illicit drugs
around the world is the primary growth factor that stimulates
the drugs of abuse testing market. With an increase in death
rate and number of road accidents caused by drug abuse and
overdose, there has arisen an urgent need for drugs of abuse
testing at various organizational levels. This has boosted the
drugs of abuse testing market. In regions such as Europe and
North America, companies have begun conducting drug
screening tests such as abstinence monitoring, preemployment
screening, post-incident drug/alcohol screening,
and random drug/alcohol screening. Government regulations
that support the testing of drugs of abuse at workplace have
greatly fueled the global market. However, legalization of

certain drugs, social inhibitions associated with the testing of
illicit drugs, economic upheaval, and cost of testing threaten
to hamper the growth of the drugs of abuse testing market
over the forecast period.
