Rising Incidence of Infectious Diseases is expected Drive the Overall Infectious Disease Diagnostics Market Growth

According to our new research study on “Infectious Disease Diagnostics Market Forecast to 2030 – Global Analysis – by Product, Technology, Application Type, Testing Type, End User, and Geography” the infectious disease diagnostics market is expected to grow from US$ 38,366.38 million in 2022 to US$ 59,954.22 million by 2030; it is anticipated to record a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2030. The report emphasizes the trends prevalent in the global infectious disease diagnostics market, along with drivers and deterrents impacting its growth.
 
Fungi, viruses, parasites, bacteria, and toxic products are among the infectious agents that can cause infectious diseases. Public health is adversely affected by infectious diseases, causing morbidity, mortality, and economic burdens. Rising incidence of infectious diseases propels the requirement for accurate and timely diagnosis to form the basis for effective disease management, treatment, and prevention. Diagnosing and monitoring multiple infections and diseases, including hepatitis C, HIV, tuberculosis, human papillomavirus, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and infectious disease outbreaks can be performed using molecular diagnostics techniques, laboratory-based assays, and point-of-care tests. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~10.2 million people visited physician offices for the treatment of infectious and parasitic diseases in African countries every year. According to an article published in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in 2021, infectious diseases are a major concern in most African countries due to high disease burden and limited healthcare resources. More than 200 pathogens can cause fever in Nigeria, one of the most common reasons for visiting a healthcare facility. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ~58 million people across the world suffer from chronic hepatitis C infection, and ~1.5 million new infections are diagnosed every year. HIV is a major public health issue across the world. According to The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), in 2020, ~ 37.7 million people had HIV. Out of these, ~36 million people were adults, and about 1.7 million were children aged 0–14 years. Also, ~1.5 million new HIV cases were reported globally in 2020.

According to WHO, tuberculosis (TB) is the 13th leading cause of death across the world, and it is the second leading infectious disease that leads to death after COVID-19. According to the WHO, 1.5 million deaths were caused by TB in 2020. In 2020, WHO projected that 10 million people had TB across the world, Furthermore, in 2020, 30 countries with high TB burdens accounted for 86% of new TB cases. Eight countries make up two-thirds of the total cases of TB, with India at the forefront, followed by China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and South Africa. Thus, the upsurging incidence of infectious diseases bolsters the need for infectious disease diagnostic technologies, such as microbial culture, hemagglutination inhibition tests, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Rising Application of Diagnostics in Veterinary Infectious Disease

Veterinary infectious diseases negatively impact the health of domestic animals, livestock, and wildlife. As a result of intensive animal farming, there are conditions for the emergence and amplification of disease epidemics due to the genetic and physical proximity of the billions of animals, often in frail health, that are raised indoors every year. Moreover, animal farming contributes to the spread of infections from wild animals due to deforestation caused by the expansion of agricultural land use. 

Diagnostic technologies that can detect emerging infectious animal diseases at an early stage are essential to reduce economic losses associated with outbreaks of such diseases. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the most widely used molecular assay globally to detect animal pathogens. Diagnostic methods of this type are easy to use, cost-effective, susceptible, and specific, with the ability to detect at a high volume. 

Even though conventional virological methods are incredibly reliable, they are time-consuming and labor-intensive procedures. Lateral flow and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay can be used for rapid detection. Multiplex bead immuno or Luminex assay is a fluorescent beads-based high-throughput quantitative technique used for the detection of multiple antibodies specific for different infectious diseases at the same time in a single reaction, leading to more rapid, economical, and accurate results compared with conventional ELISA. In addition, the protein chip based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) appears to be a rapid valuable tool in the sero-diagnosis of infection or antibody titration. Recombinant antibodies can also be produced in heterologous systems by using rDNA technology and used for developing diagnostic tests.
Point-of-care diagnostics (POCDs) are simple, rapid, and portable diagnostic devices that can detect the disease status at the field level. In recent years, real-time PCR (qPCR) has been transitioned into a POCD platform. These fully automated platforms combine nucleic acid extraction, thermal cycling, and on-site reporting results. For instance, MiniLab from Enigma Diagnostics is a molecular diagnostic platform of 10–35 kg that is carried at the field level and used for validating African swine fever virus, classical swine fever virus, avian influenza virus, and foot-and-mouth disease virus for research purposes. The genesig detection kits of Primerdesign Ltd, UK supply lyophilized qPCR assay kits for the diagnosis of 62 bovine, 42 equine, 47 porcine, 60 avian, 40 canine, and 26 feline pathogens for research purposes. Similarly, Boster offers Bosterbio qPCR kits to detect up to 48 individual or pooled samples. It is used for gene expression profiling, target DNA quantification, microbial detection, viral or bacterial pathogen load determination, and evaluation of primer pair performance for probe-based qPCR.
Thus, diagnostics methods such as PCR and qPCR to diagnose bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections in animals is fueling the diagnostics in veterinary diagnosis.
