The infectious disease diagnostics market is expected to grow from US$ 38,366.38 million in 2022 to US$ 59,954.22 million by 2030; it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2030.
The growing incidence of infectious diseases across the world and rising application of diagnostics in veterinary infectious diseases bolster the infectious disease diagnostics market size. However, an inadequate reimbursement scenario hinders the infectious disease diagnostics market growth.
Rising Incidence of Infectious Diseases Drive Infectious Disease Diagnostics Market Growth
Fungi, viruses, parasites, bacteria, and toxic products are among the infectious agents that can cause infectious diseases. Public health is adversely affected by infectious diseases, causing morbidity, mortality, and economic burdens. Rising incidence of infectious diseases propels the requirement for accurate and timely diagnosis to form the basis for effective disease management, treatment, and prevention. Diagnosing and monitoring multiple infections and diseases, including hepatitis C, HIV, tuberculosis, human papillomavirus, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and infectious disease outbreaks can be performed using molecular diagnostics techniques, laboratory-based assays, and point-of-care tests. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~10.2 million people visited physician offices for the treatment of infectious and parasitic diseases in African countries every year. According to an article published in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in 2021, infectious diseases are a major concern in most African countries due to high disease burden and limited healthcare resources. More than 200 pathogens can cause fever in Nigeria, one of the most common reasons for visiting a healthcare facility. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ~58 million people across the world suffer from chronic hepatitis C infection, and ~1.5 million new infections are diagnosed every year. HIV is a major public health issue across the world. According to The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), in 2020, ~ 37.7 million people had HIV. Out of these, ~36 million people were adults, and about 1.7 million were children aged 0–14 years. Also, ~1.5 million new HIV cases were reported globally in 2020.
According to WHO, tuberculosis (TB) is the 13th leading cause of death across the world, and it is the second leading infectious disease that leads to death after COVID-19. According to the WHO, 1.5 million deaths were caused by TB in 2020. In 2020, WHO projected that 10 million people had TB across the world, Furthermore, in 2020, 30 countries with high TB burdens accounted for 86% of new TB cases. Eight countries make up two-thirds of the total cases of TB, with India at the forefront, followed by China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and South Africa. Thus, the upsurging incidence of infectious diseases bolsters the need for infectious disease diagnostic technologies, such as microbial culture, hemagglutination inhibition tests, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
