Consumables accounted for the largest market share over the forecast
The consumables account for the largest market and are expected to grow fastest over the forecast period. Consumables include reagents and reagent kits used to perform in vitro diagnostic tests for respiratory diseases.
The increased testing volume has driven the segment’s growth. For instance, the U.S. FDA authorized around 261 molecular diagnostics products, 88 serological diagnostics tests, and 34 antigen diagnostics tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in 2021.
The instrument was the second-largest revenue-generating segment in 2021, owing to the introduction of innovative products for assisting physicians in diagnosing COVID-19 patients. For instance, in March 2021, Vyaire Medical, Inc. introduced AioCare for diagnosing respiratory diseases in European Union, Middle East countries, and Australia. The product is a mobile spirometry system that offers as accurate results as hospital-grade spirometers and allows the physician to monitor patients with advanced digital connectivity at home.
Nasopharyngeal swab is accounted for the largest market share over the forecast
The nasopharyngeal swab tests account for the largest market share in 2021 owing to the applications scope in conducting various tests, including rapid antigen detection tests, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), direct fluorescent antibodies, and others.
The saliva sample segment is anticipated to witness a remunerative growth rate over the forecast period. With the increasing use of samples in testing and an urgent need for noninvasive tests, many industry players started developing and commercializing no-swabs saliva-based tests. For instance, in March 2021, BATM Advanced Communications Ltd. introduced an RT-PCR kit that uses Salivette to self-collect samples for COVID-19 diagnosis.
Covid-19 accounted for the significant revenue share
Based on the application, the market has been segmented for several applications in the infectious respiratory disease diagnostic market, in which the Covid-19 segment accounted for the largest market share due to the high incidence of COVID-19, increased product approvals, and a rise in R&D.
The increasing vaccination rates are anticipated to decrease the severity of the disorders, and the testing rates are expected to decrease during the forecast. Market players are introducing direct-to-consumer testing kits, which remove the requirement of trained personnel for sample collection and shorten the turnaround time.
Tuberculosis is estimated to witness a considerable growth rate. According to the WHO, globally, 10 million people suffer from TB, and approximately 86% of all new cases of TB were reported. Various new issues were registered in Indonesia, India, China, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Africa. Due to this, there was an increase in the launch of susceptible and flexible molecular tests for the diagnosis of TB, which drives the market.
Molecular Diagnostic segment is accounted the largest market revenue
Depending upon technologies, the molecular diagnostic segment accounts for the most prominent market share. The segment's growth is attributed to the increased requirements of RT-PCR tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19, RSV, influenza, and other diseases.
PCR is the traditional technology for boosting DNA material to perform molecular diagnosis. Many companies are introducing multiplex tests that can diagnose infectious respiratory diseases using a single swab which has driven the market's growth. For instance, in 2020, GENETWORx, LLC launched a breakthrough test that detects three respiratory viruses (SARS-COV-2, RSV, & Influenza A & B) in a single sample.
The immunoassays segment exhibits the fastest growth rate over the forecast due to technological advancements and the commercialization of innovative products. In April 2021, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. launched a blood-based immunoassay kit to detect IgM, IgA, and IgG antibodies, helping diagnose COVID-19 patients. This immunoassay kit launch is expected to increase the diagnosis of COVID-19, propelling the overall industry growth.
Diagnostic Laboratories accounted for largest market share
Based on end-use, the diagnostic laboratories segment accounts for the market share as various laboratories are entering into strategic initiatives with multiple organizations to offer COVID-19 testing to combat the rising incidence of the disease.
For instance, in March 2020, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. collaborated with Assurance Scientific Laboratories to provide its real-time qPCR products, such as Reliance One-Step Multiplex RT-qPCR Supermix, CFX RT-PCR Detection Systems, and CFX384 Touch Real-Time PCR Detection System for COVID-19 screening.
The physician offices segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the growing focus of manufacturers on developing PoC diagnostics and increased patient preferences. The introduction of novel assays that provide quick PoC results has driven the segment’s growth.
North America is accounted for the largest market revenue
Due to the high testing rates, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, proactive government measures, technological advancements, and significant players in North America, the region accounts for the most considerable market revenue. Reimbursement policies and approving government initiatives are the factors that have driven the market in this region.
According to the Academy Society for Microbiology, various laboratories in the U.S. reported a shortage of reagents used for diagnosing pneumonia, followed by tuberculosis. However, the limited supply of materials during the COVID-19 pandemic, including reagents required to perform diagnostic tests, may hamper the industry growth.
Europe is expected to account for a significant growth rate over the forecast period. The growing prevalence of respiratory indications and increasing testing rates have driven the market in this region. According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), in 2022, significant new cases of influenza were reported across Europe. Of this, approximately 98% and 2% were typed A and type B viruses.
