Endocrinology, a branch of medicine deals with the study of structural and functional elements of the endocrine system. This system comprises endocrine glands (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and others) and secretory organs (pancreas, hypothalamus) that release hormones directly into the blood stream and regulate the body functioning. Endocrine testing market is studied by three major segments namely, by test, by diagnostic technologies and by end users. The test segment is further classified into 11 major hormone tests that includes estradiol (E2), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), progesterone, testosterone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), prolactin, cortisol and insulin tests.

The market accounts for a wide range of conventional as well as rapid diagnostic kits used for detecting deficiency (hyposecretion) or excess (hypersecretion) secretions of these hormones. The diagnostic technologies segment further describes the technological platforms used in the analysis of the specimen test sample (blood, urine, etc) and is further categorized into five major technologies, tandem mass spectrometry, immunoassay, monoclonal and polyclonal antibody, sensor and clinical chemistry technologies. The end user segment elucidates the endocrine testing market by various end users that includes hospitals, commercial laboratories, ambulatory health care centers, home based tests and physician's offices.

On the basis of geography, the market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America and Rest of the World (RoW).
