The rising prevalence of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis & COVID-19, and technological advancements are projected to drive the product demand in the coming years. The rising prevalence of multi-drug resistant infections is enhancing the early diagnosis of infectious diseases. For instance, MDR infections are highly common in ICU patients, as per the Microbial Drug Resistance Journal in 2021, the prevalence of MDR infections in critically ill SARS-CoV-2 patients ranged between14% and 50%.
The delay in diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics before infection diagnosis is further escalating the prevalence of drug resistant-bacteria, creating a lucrative opportunity for industry growth. The industry is witnessing a significant number of product launches to meet the demands of consumers. For instance, in May 2022, BD introduced its automated diagnostic platform for infectious diseases in the U.S. The system allows the loading of 1700 specimens and the need for specimen sorting is also eliminated, thereby, reducing errors. Products offered by various competitors have been strategically priced to increase competitive rivalry.
However, complexity in buying behavior increases prominently when consumers have to choose between PoC and lab-based tests owing to differences in sensitivity and beliefs. The industry is oligopolistic with companies, such as Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Alere, bioMérieux, and BD, holding the majority of the share collectively. The global industry is price-sensitive, creating rigorous competition among players in terms of manufacturing cost-effective and efficient products. Competitive rivalry is estimated to increase during the forecast period owing to the expected launch of novel biomarker kits. Competitors are adopting key strategies, such as product launches and organizing awareness programs, to gain higher market shares.

Application Insights
The COVID-19 application segment dominated the global industry in 2022 and accounted for the highest share of more than 43.45% of the overall revenue. The high share of the segment can be attributed to the increased adoption of SARS-CoV-2 testing to limit the spread of the infection. Furthermore, government initiatives to enhance public testing have acted as one of the major drivers for the segment growth along with the launch of innovative products. The fast growth rate of TB and HIV segments can be attributed to enhanced testing. Furthermore, influenza testing in the respiratory virus segment has also picked up pace owing to the launch of new diagnostic tests that allow testing of SARS-CoV-2 as well as influenza with differentiation between the two conditions to expedite treatment.
Tuberculosis is a communicable infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As per the WHO in 2020, the incidence of tuberculosis is 130 new cases per 100,000 each year and is an epidemic; however, the rate of tuberculosis infection has decreased in the past years. For instance, a 9% decline was registered between 2015 and 2019. Globally, South-East Asia has accounted for 44% of the overall cases. Growing economies like India, China, and Indonesia top the charts with the highest number of tuberculosis infections. The WHO has recommended the use of the molecular diagnostic technique NAAT for the diagnosis of tuberculosis instead of traditional smear microscopy for improving the accuracy of disease detection. In addition, the use of next-gen sequencing assists in the easier diagnosis of drug resistance.
Test Location Insights
The central laboratories test location segment dominated the global industry in 2022 and accounted for the highest share of more than 55.80% of the overall revenue.
