The lack of awareness about the benefits of paper diagnostics and the limited adoption of these tests in healthcare facilities are significant restraints hindering market growth. Healthcare providers and patients may be hesitant to switch from traditional diagnostic methods to paper-based tests, due to concerns about accuracy and reliability.
The stringent regulations and quality standards governing the manufacturing and distribution of paper diagnostics pose a major challenge for market players. Compliance with these regulations not only increases production costs but also limits the entry of new players into the market, thereby restraining overall market growth.
