Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after the post-COVID-19 era. The increased use of antimicrobial susceptibility testing by biopharmaceutical companies is notably driving the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market growth, although factors such as stringent regulatory policies may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the antimicrobial susceptibility testing industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Driver
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market. Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and hepatitis are caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Furthermore, the impact of these infectious diseases varies from region to region. Sub-Saharan Africa, APAC, Latin America, and the Middle East are more prone to infectious diseases due to factors such as malnutrition, poor sanitation, poor water quality, and lack of proper healthcare systems. Moreover, recent outbreaks, including Ebola, Zika, dengue, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), influenza, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), as well as the threat of rising antibiotic resistance (AR), have further increased the concerns on global health. In addition, the rapidly growing population, lifestyle changes, urbanization, civil wars, and climate change have increased the prevalence of infectious diseases. As a result, there has been an increase in products used for diagnosing them. Overall, as infectious diseases pose a global threat to healthcare, the demand for their diagnosis with the help of AST is likely to increase at a steady rate, thereby driving the market in the future.
Key Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Trend
The increasing use of antibiograms will fuel the global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market. Antibiograms can be defined as a cumulative result of the AST of a specific microorganism to a number of antimicrobial drugs. Medical facilities are required to maintain annual antibiograms for the antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP), and reports are updated as per the resistance trends. Selecting a specific patient population such as inpatient vs. outpatient, hospital units such as ICU vs. non-ICU, and infection sites such as blood, urine, and sputum provide valuable insights into resistance trends. The antibiogram helps in tracking local antibiotic resistance trends, thereby improving the ability to avoid suboptimal therapies and providing better patient care. antibiograms are used as a tool for developing guidelines for empiric therapy, making formulary decisions, and monitoring resistance rates over time. Also, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has formed a consensus guideline to standardize the methods that are used during the construction of antibiograms. Although the construction of antibiograms is complex, expensive, and time-consuming, in the era of increasing antibiotic resistance, the demand for antibiograms will grow rapidly, thereby contributing to the growth of the global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market during the forecast period.
Key Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Challenge
The restrictions associated with antimicrobial susceptibility testing are a major challenge for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market growth. Although AST has become an integral part of clinical diagnostics and drug discovery and development, there are certain limitations that might hinder the market growth. For example, the three most commonly used in-vitro testing for antimicrobial susceptibility include agar disk diffusion, agar dilution, and broth dilution, which are responsible for determining the MIC of an antimicrobial agent. In addition, there are extensive delays between the update of a clinical breakpoint and its clearance on commercial antimicrobial susceptibility testing (cAST) devices, which can compromise patient safety, as laboratories may fail to detect resistance to a particular drug. Furthermore, the non-availability of tests for newer drugs on cAST devices can be a threat to patient safety. For instance, drugs such as ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam cannot be used without AST. To overcome this challenge, proper interaction between the US FDA and drug manufacturers is required for the addition of the drug to IVD tests.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The antimicrobial susceptibility testing market in North America witnessed a temporary decline in 2020, owing to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A decrease in the exposure to external microbes due to the associated lockdowns and the increased use of masks reduced the prevalence of microbial diseases in 2020, which adversely affected the market in North America. However, the demand for AST is expected to increase once the COVID-19 situation is brought under control.

The antimicrobial susceptibility testing market share growth in the clinical diagnostics segment will be significant during the forecast period. This segment comprises hospitals and diagnostic centers that perform AST to diagnose patients before they are administered drugs. In the healthcare sector, AST ensures the quality of care and patient safety. It provides information on pathogens, their mode of transmission, and their mechanism of causing infection and growth. Therefore, with the help of AST information, the right treatment can be developed for patients. Medical professionals have identified certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi. The increased use can be attributed to the growing emphasis on reducing the prevalence of infectious diseases. Moreover, the rising awareness about personalized medicines is increasing the demand for IVD tests. IVD tests play a key role in reducing healthcare costs, as the right treatment plan can be devised without delay based on test results.
