Pneumonia Testing Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The rising prevalence of pneumonia and concerns associated with pneumonia mortality are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the lack of trained professionals may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Pneumonia Testing Market Driver
The rising prevalence of pneumonia and concerns associated with pneumonia mortality are notably driving the market research growth. A significant increase in the prevalence of pneumonia is expected to drive global market growth. Pneumonia is more common in children and the elderly. For instance, as per the article released by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), there are about 1,400 instances of pneumonia per 100,000 people worldwide in 2020. As a result, the factors mentioned above are critical growth drivers for the global market.
Pneumonia is widely regarded as one of the most prevalent causes of hospitalization among all infectious illnesses. If the patient is discovered to be critically ill, he or she is hospitalized and further microbiological testing for pneumonia is performed. Several poverty-related factors, such as malnutrition, a lack of safe drinking water and sanitation, outdoor and interior air pollution, and insufficient access to healthcare, contribute to pneumonia-related mortality in poor countries. Thus, a sharp increase in pneumonia-related mortality has prompted developing-country governments to start efforts to enhance knowledge about pneumonia diagnosis to prevent deaths. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of global market research during the forecast period.
Significant Pneumonia Testing Market Trends
The rising number of M&A and new product launches are emerging trends in the market. The new product additions will motivate consumers to purchase various pneumonia-testing products. Furthermore, the increasing number of product launches and M&A also increases the competition in the market, which, in turn, will lead to innovation and differentiation.
A few of the significant product developments in the market are in April 2021, Luminex Corp. (DiaSorin) and Lumos Diagnostics announced a partnership to launch LIAISON IQ, an immunoassay Point-of-Care (POC) platform that delivers cost-effective POC solutions in under 15 minutes, and in February 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the acquisition over Mesa Biotech Inc. (Mesa Biotech) to expand the molecular diagnostics segment of the company. Hence, such partnerships are expected to fuel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Major Pneumonia Testing Market Challenge
The lack of trained professionals is a major challenge impeding the market growth. Effective translation of diagnostics from research to application results in the correct diagnosis of diseases. Diagnosis of diseases requires extensive analysis to interpret the correct results. Therefore, clinical laboratories require trained specialists in this field. However, the presence of these specialists is scarce in diagnostic centers and hospitals worldwide.
Most rural hospitals across the world face issues such as the lack of patient volume required to justify having specialists. Furthermore, appointments of in-house specialists are cost-prohibitive, especially for small medical facilities. Limited public funds, the allocation of a small portion of this funding to laboratories, and an even smaller portion being allocated for quality assurance are some of the reasons for the lack of specialists in many developing countries. Therefore, end-users such as hospitals and diagnostic centers need to invest heavily to increase the number of trained professionals by providing training to their employees. This training and hiring of professionals increase the cost, which in turn, will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

The consumables segment was valued at USD 1,070.45 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. There is an increasing focus of vendors on developing consumables. For instance, Merck develops various products to identify pneumonia contamination. The company manufactures ready-to-use liquid and solid culture media that can detect pneumonia such as 146452 | HAYFLICK Liquid Med. acc. EP. The introduction of such cultural media in the market saves time and money for biopharmaceutical companies. Additionally, many companies develop assays designed to detect various types of pneumonia species, which can cause up to 95% of the eukaryotic cell culture contamination and has the potential to alter the phenotypic characteristics of the cells, which can lead to a negative impact on the results. Moreover, pneumonia does not respond to antibiotics. Hence, a highly sensitive and reliable detection method is preferred by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. For instance, R&D Systems manufactures a MycoProbe pneumonia detection kit, which permits high-throughput screening assay. It is highly sensitive and provides rapid test results within four and a half hours and does not require culturing in antibiotic-free media. Hence, the increasing focus of vendors on developing consumables such as kits and reagents used for pneumonia detection and the adoption of these consumables by various end-users are expected to positively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
