With antibiotic resistance on the rise, healthcare looks to molecular assays and surveillance to halt the surge of infectious diseases.
Infectious disease diagnosis is among the most dynamic spaces in the in-vitro diagnostics industry. The increasing need for accurate and rapid identification of infectious agents in individual illness and global health threats cannot be undermined. Limitations in timely diagnosis and accuracy of pathogen identification can have devastating effects on public health. The conventional methods that are typically used often provide data in a time span that does not allow the most efficient, precise, and direct treatment options. This leads to antibiotic treatments that are broad, based on symptoms, or based on an unconfirmed tentative diagnosis. However, this approach increases the risk of antibiotic resistance both at the single patient and public levels. As a result, the companies operating in this market space have started investing and focusing more on the development of novel diagnostics, which will escalate the growth of this market.
Infectious diseases are highly prevalent in underdeveloped regions owing to minimal healthcare expenditures, a severe lack of awareness for personal hygiene, and absence of efficient physician services. The high incidence of infectious diseases across emerging economies presents several opportunities for in vitro diagnostic device manufacturers to invest in countries like China and India. Moreover, the growing incidence of infectious disease, increasing adoption of advanced molecular practices, and increasing interventions from government and non-profile organization to reduce the impact of infectious disease in under-developed countries is proliferating the growth of infectious disease diagnosis market. However, lack of awareness of novel diagnostic solutions, the absence of compiled regulatory procedures, and lower positivity rates due to inferior laboratory conditions will restrict the growth of infectious disease diagnostics market.
Laboratory tests including blood test, urine analysis, spinal tap, throat swabs, and stool test are usually the first line of diagnostics referred by physicians. By test type; the laboratory tests are primarily used in infectious disease diagnosis because they are inexpensive and easily available. However, molecular diagnostic techniques such as PCR, and other nucleic acid amplification test are likely to gain prominence in developed region.
