Drug Of Abuse Testing Services Market: Opioids Drug Type Segment Held A Significant Revenue Share
Drug Of Abuse Testing Services Industry Overview
The global drug of abuse testing services market size was valued at USD 2.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2021 to 2028. An increase in the consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs has led to the high growth of the market. The rise in government initiatives to monitor and combat substance abuse is also significantly driving the market. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) 2019 data, around 35 million people with substance use disorders were in need of treatment globally. Around 55% of the substance use disorders are associated with opioids and 25% with marijuana. In 2017, 188 million past-year cannabis users were estimated across the world, as per the UNODC data. On the basis of the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS), around 1.5% to 5% of diseases are direct consequences of using illegal drugs or alcohol addiction.
Access and availability of services are limited for people with substance use disorders globally, with only 1 in 7 cases being treated annually. However, in developed countries such as the U.S., a favorable reimbursement framework for treatment services has led to high demand for substance abuse treatments. With effect from January 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded its Medicare coverage to incorporate Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) in opioid treatment programs.

Various government initiatives to monitor and combat substance abuse are driving the market. The National Drug Control Budget requested USD 34.6 billion in FY 2020 across five drug control functional areas in the U.S.: prevention, operation, treatment, law enforcement, and interdiction. This includes funding of USD 1.9 billion for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, to fund evidence-based prevention activities. The Department of Defense requested USD 1.2 billion for monitoring and supporting drug interdiction operations as well as other counterdrug operations in the country and other countries.
On the basis of the Federal Drug-free Workplace Program, by Executive Order 12564, a condition has been imposed on all Federal employees to avoid illicit substance use when on the job. This program also facilitates certification of agency drug-free workplace plans and identifies potential areas for initiating random toxicology testing. The SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention also supervises HHS-certified laboratories that are working under the program’s mandatory guidelines. The adoption of such drug-testing programs has been mandated among employees working in certain sensitive positions, including public health and safety, law enforcement, and national security. All toxicology testing by public and private entities is conducted according to legal authority or law. Such legal authorities have the power to mandate toxicology testing as well as define conditions under which testing should be done. However, there are limitations that are decided through court cases.
Drug and alcohol abuse among employees is risky for every business. In order to eliminate such risks, employers conduct drug of abuse testing programs; however, this can be considered a violation of privacy rights. In many countries, drug testing is subject to privacy legislation. There are various criteria or standards, based on which such tests can be conducted, and violating them is considered a violation of an individual’s rights.
