Market Dynamics
Introduction
Specimen validity tests, also known as testing for nitrates or Test Sure, are performed on a urine drug screen specimen to detect substitution, adulteration, or dilution. A drug-testing program detects people who have used drugs. The test determines whether a urine specimen has been adulterated, diluted, or substituted.
Market Drivers
Major factors such as increasing illegal drug-related activities, stringent drug-screening regulations, and increasing government investment to combat drug abuse are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, rising demand for presumptive tests, growing consumption of illicit drugs among the younger generation, and the adoption of drug screening tests at the workplace are all expected to have a significant impact on the demand for the market.
