DNA probe-based diagnostic industry analysis

Pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi are harmful to health and can cause infectious diseases. The development of different DNA diagnostic probes depends on the emergence of these new infectious diseases. Technavio’s market research report identifies that the emergence of such new infectious diseases will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global DNA probe-based diagnostic market till 2021.

It has been observed that more than 100 probes have been developed, while, others are still in the experimental stages. The development of DNA probe test used to detect bacterial infections caused by Salmonella typhi (food poisoning), Escherichia coli (gastroenteritis), and Campylobacter hyointestinalis is also increasing due to the increase in infectious diseases. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of almost 11% by 2021.

DNA probe-based diagnostic market trends

Infections such as vaginitis, discharge, itching, and pain results from the overgrowth of specific organisms. The adoption of DNA probe-based technologies is increasing with the rising awareness about such infections. The increasing prominence of DNA probe technology in diagnosing vaginitis is identified as one of the key trends that will gain traction in the global DNA probe-based diagnostic market during the estimated period. Based on genetic fingerprints, DNA probes technology identifies the target organisms.
