The increase in patient awareness is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the lack of skilled professionals may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increase in patient awareness is notably driving market growth. Awareness and understanding of respiratory disease awareness have increased over the years. The number of respiratory disorders has increased significantly and is expected to be the third leading cause of death during the forecast period. Early detection of respiratory diseases, along with treatment and counseling to stop smoking, can keep respiratory diseases under control. Community leaders, policymakers, and government agencies are working together to increase patient awareness of such diseases.
Several initiatives by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to raise awareness of respiratory diseases have been initiated. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) launched the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) to increase awareness of effective asthma treatment and prevention. Such efforts to increase awareness of respiratory diseases and available treatment and diagnostic options will contribute to the growth of the global legionella testing market during the forecast period.
The emergence of new infectious diseases is a major trend in the market. Most deaths are caused by infectious diseases worldwide than any other single cause. For instance, in 2019, ten million people fell ill due to Tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. Over 94.82% of tuberculosis-associated deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Such diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi. Through touch, contaminated food, water, and air these diseases can be transmitted. Animal bites, insect bites, and sexual contact can also spread infectious diseases.
As a result, the products that are used for treating them have also increased. Legionella testing can detect almost every pathogenic organism. Researchers aim to have specific legionella testing procedures to detect various pathogens. In recent years, legionella testing for the detection of bacterial infections caused by Escherichia coli (gastroenteritis), and Campylobacter hyointestinalis (gastritis) has increased. Thus, such factors will increase the revenue of the market during the forecast period.
The lack of skilled professionals is a major challenge impeding the market growth. There has been an increase in the usage of legionella testing at a rapid rate. Proper handling of equipment and tests that adhere to the regulatory bodies and good manufacturing practices (GMP) is required to carry out efficient testing. However, in recent years laboratories often ignore certain rules, and protocols to cater to the burden and the increasing pressure to produce test results in a short turnaround time (TAT).
The lack of qualified specialists is the main reason for the non-compliance between laboratory workers and researchers, which results in low-quality of production and products. The US Department of Labor has predicted that as of 2014, there has been a nationwide shortage of approximately 12,000 to 15,000 laboratory professionals. The training programs prepare only about 33% of the need to train the laboratory workforce for the future, which means that less than 5,000 people graduate from accredited training programs each year. Good training programs for laboratory professionals have declined because laboratories are under pressure to provide rapid TATs, resulting in a lack of training for laboratory managers. These factors will hinder the growth of the market in the focused period.

The clinical testing segment was valued at USD 161.12 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The most commonly used laboratory test for diagnosis of Legionnaires disease is the urinary antigen test (UAT), which detects a molecule of the Legionella bacterium in a urine sample. If the patient has pneumonia and the test is positive, then you should consider the patient to have Legionnaires disease. Isolation of Legionella on media that supports the growth of Legionella is a confirmatory and essential method for diagnosis. The isolation sample can be taken from lower respiratory secretions, lung tissues, pleural fluid, or a normally sterile site.

North America is estimated to contribute 32% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
North America was the largest revenue contributor to the global legionella testing market in 2021, with the US being the leading country. The growing focus on drug and vaccine discovery and development, recent advances in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, and the presence of several vendors in the country offering a wide range of legionella testing products are aiding the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 negatively impacted the economy of North America. The pandemic hampered the growth of the regional market in focus to a certain extent. The outbreak affected several manufacturing processes and resulted in supply chain disruptions of legionella testing products. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 boosted the growth of the regional legionella testing market as the COVID-19 virus attacks the respiratory system. The imposition of lockdowns in North America led to a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases in the last quarter of 2020. Furthermore, the widespread vaccination programs boosted the regional market growth in Q1 2021. Hence, the legionella testing market in North America is expected to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period.
