Rapid Diagnostics Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases is notably driving the rapid diagnostics market growth, although factors such as the high cost of rapid diagnostic products 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 rapid diagnostics industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rapid Diagnostics Market Driver
The increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases is one of the key drivers supporting the rapid diagnostics market growth. There is growing disposable income among middle-class families due to urbanization which is leading to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles and ultimately causes chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In 2019, according to CDC, approximately 92.1 million individuals in the US had one type of cardiovascular disease. Meanwhile, there is also a high burden of infectious diseases in developing countries where the healthcare infrastructure and healthcare awareness are still in the developing phase. Infectious diseases such as malaria, influenza, and others are some of the leading causes of hospital admission. In view of all these factors, the rapid diagnostics market will have a positive impact during the forecast period.
Key Rapid Diagnostics Market Trend
The growing presence of OEMs is one of the key rapid diagnostics market trends that is contributing to the market growth. The OEM provides equipment to the manufacturers that develop, distribute, and sell the final furnished goods. Generally, OEM develops certain components of the products. However, sometimes, it may manufacture a complete device. The OEMs are working with contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) due to the increasing number of combination products such as drug delivery and smart devices. Thus, there is a growing focus on forwarding integration by the OMEs involved in providing diagnostics components. These initiatives will propel the rapid diagnostics market growth during the forecast period.
Key Rapid Diagnostics Market Challenge
The high cost of rapid diagnostic products is one of the factors hindering the rapid diagnostics market growth. For instance, NIH conducted a comparison study between the cost of rapid molecular tests and conventional diagnostics for the detection of tuberculosis in South Africa. The result of the study was Xpert MTB/RIF Assay, a tool to diagnose tuberculosis cost around $12-$15/ sample and MTBDRplus line probe assay costs around $22-$24/sample which are slightly high compared to conventional automated liquid culture-based methods that cost around $14-$16/sample. Moreover, the cost of Xpert and MTBDRplus was mostly influenced by the cost of consumables. Therefore, the high cost of analyzers, assays, and related frequently used consumables create budget constraints for end-users and patients, which may hinder the market growth due to the low adoption of high-priced diagnostic products.
