At-Home Testing: COVID-19 Trends and Future Potential provides an overview of trends and developments in the home testing industry for the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This report covers trends that have occurred since the pandemic was declared in 2020 to the recent present - March 31, 2021.
For the purpose of this report, the analyst concludes that the accepted definition of a home or self-test is one whereby the individual takes the sample, performs the test and then interprets the test result either alone or with the aid of an online consultation service. As of the time of publication in Spring 2021, the major market for COVID-19 self-tests is the United States, therefore the discussion presented in the report focuses on that geography.

The US government estimates around 200 to 400 tracked objects enter Earth’s atmosphere every year roughly one a day out of the 170 million pieces of space debris floating above our heads. The fallen items rarely make news, though, since they usually crash into the ocean, which covers about 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, or sparsely populated areas.

There are many unknowns in the field of space exploration. What came before the Big Bang? What is dark matter? Will we ever make contact with another civilization, or are we destined to remain alone, floating along on this tiny, insignificant speck in the universe?
