Global clinical microbiology market was valued at USD 9.1 million in 2016. It is forecast to grow at 6.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Market growth is driven by the increasing incidence of infectious diseases.
Clinical tests are the most common way to diagnose infectious diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there were approximately 9,421 new cases in the United States of tuberculosis and 51,455 new salmonella cases. 33,461 Lyme disease cases were also added to the list. 433 cases of meningococcal diseases were also registered in the U.S.
According to the American Cancer Society in 2017, around 1,688,780 cases of new cancers were reported in the United States. Market growth will be boosted by the high number of diseases in which clinical tests are used to diagnose them. Sudden epidemics of Zika, Ebola and other contagious diseases are contributing to an increase in the prevalence of infectious disease.
According to a Journal of Clinical Microbiology article, there is a shortage of skilled and trained professionals in medical and microbiological laboratory for processing and interpreting specimens and samples. In the U.S., there has been an accelerated decline in medical laboratory training programs. This is also evident in the graduation rates of such students.
In developing countries, which are experiencing a rapid increase in demand for skilled workers, the shortage of graduates and programs to train them is a problem. The entry of automated platforms on the market will replace manual-operated traditional platforms in the future, which will reduce the impact of the shortage of skilled professionals.
The largest share of revenue in the global clinical microbiology industry was accounted by the agents. This segment includes solutions, primers and master mixes as well as kits that are used in various diagnostic assays. The largest share of revenue is currently attributed to reagents, where more than 60% can be attributed to repeat purchases driven by the need for new reagents for different tests.
This segment will continue to dominate the forecast period. The segment will be driven by factors such as the higher cost of specialized kit and the constant repeat purchase. There are rising investments in research-and-development (R&D) in the market. The majority of therapeutic and analytical research projects require reagents or chemicals. This drives penetration.
Incubators, gram strainers and bacterial colony counters are all part of laboratory instruments. They also include autoclave sterilizers and petri dish fillers. With more than 30% of the market share, automated culture systems dominated global laboratory instruments in 2016.
Instruments used in microbiology analysis include instruments that are used in molecular diagnostics and mass spectrometry. Due to their wider application and growing demand, microscopes accounted for the largest percentage. The fastest expected growth rate for the molecular diagnostic instrument segment is however, over the forecast period. This is due to the increasing importance of molecular diagnostics in early detection and treatment of cancer and other infectious diseases.
The rapid rise in respiratory diseases is due to increasing levels of pollution and industrialization. The easy transmission of contagious pathogens makes respiratory diseases more common than any other infections. This segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. In developed and developing countries, the prevalence of infectious diseases are high.
A few studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association have shown that chronic respiratory disease was responsible for approximately 1 in 15 deaths in 2015. These diseases were responsible for approximately USD 132 billion in healthcare expenditures in 2013. The most common diagnostic tools for respiratory disease are bronchoscopy, blood tests and biopsy. Market growth is being accelerated by the rising incidence of chronic respiratory illnesses.
In 2016, North America was the country with the highest revenue share, closely followed by Europe. The adoption of advanced diagnostic techniques is being encouraged by the U.S.'s highly developed healthcare and industrial sectors. A stringent regulatory framework, as well as the presence of major players, are helping to boost regional market growth.
Asia Pacific will be the fastest-growing region between 2016 and 2024. Japan is a country with the most technological advancements and highest usage of microbial testing in various applications. China is another important market that contributes to regional growth.
The boom in medical tourism is expected to increase demand for microbial diagnostics and monitoring tests in Asian countries like India, China and Thailand. A combination of high-quality manufacturing infrastructure and skilled labor at an affordable price has led to major manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceuticals moving to Asia. This is driving regional market expansion.
Bruker Corporation, Cepheid Inc., bioMerieux S.A. and Cepheid Inc. are the main players in this market. Becton Dickinson & Company, Cepheid Inc., and Danaher Corporation are some of the other prominent players in the market. The introduction of automated systems and innovative designs will increase competition and change the market dynamics over time.
