The Europe monkeypox testing market was valued at USD 18,330.00 thousand in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 56.10 thousand by 2025.
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
Increasing cases and testing are driving the growth of the Europe monkeypox testing market. The growing development of PCR kits as a standard gold method for monkeypox virus detection is propelling the growth of the market in the country. Also, increasing collaborations among In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) companies to develop and launch new monkeypox test kits is driving market growth. Surprisingly, the ease in medical device regulation only specific for monkeypox encouraged the IVD companies to bring new testing kits into the market and commercialize it, with PCR kits being the gold standard method. Confirmation of MPXV infection is based on nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), which uses conventional or real-time PCR to detect unique viral DNA sequences and is widely used as a standard method to detect MPXV. Increasing activities among vendors are driving the Europe monkeypox testing market growth, including the following:
SEGMENT ANALYSIS
The growing product launches of lateral flow assay kits are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the Europe monkeypox testing market growth. Lateral flow assay is presently not preferred for monkeypox detection in the region because it may give false positive and negative results and because of its high cost. A number of rapid antibody and antigen test kits has been developed. Nanjing Synthgene Medical Technology, a China-based biomedical company, offers CE-certified rapid antibody and antigen tests at USD 1,253 and USD 438, respectively. In contrast, its MPXV Detection Kit (RT-PCR) costs around USD 144 with 24 tests, which means about USD 6 for each test.
Segmentation By Type
The growing surveillance, contact tracing, and vaccine doses across the region are expected to impede market growth by a greater margin. However, it is unclear how much vaccine administrations have contributed to the slowdown in case numbers, and it is also unclear how long vaccine effects will last. In July 2022, the European Commission approved the MPX preventative vaccine, recommended by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Segmentation By End-User
Bavarian Nordic, a global leader in smallpox vaccines, has been a long-term supplier of the Imvanex vaccine to the US Government and has already supplied the vaccine in the European Union (EU) to many different, often unnamed, European countries. Bavarian Nordic is focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing human vaccines. Imvanex vaccine has been authorized to protect adults from MPX disease in the EU since 22nd July 2022.
Since the time of vaccine approval, the region has been ramping up to supply vaccine doses to every country dealing with the highest number of cases. Vaccine administration and contact tracing have rapidly increased in Spain, the second country after the US, with the highest number of confirmed cases since June 2022. On 20th October 2022, National Health Service (NHS) launched a new online vaccine site finder to make it easy for eligible people to vaccinate.
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
In 2022, EU-5 accounted for the largest share of 77.71% in the Europe monkeypox testing market. In EU-5, Spain accounts for the highest revenue share, followed by France, UK, Germany, and Italy, which can be attributed to increasing cases, and increased testing. More than 98% of cases are identified in men who have sex with men in EU-5. The Netherlands is vaccinating high-risk people against MPX using two doses of the Imvanex smallpox vaccine. Until 3rd August 2022, 1,976 people in the Netherlands received a preventive vaccination against the MPXV.
In Berlin, Germany, vaccinations against the viral infection had begun in mid-July. In July, The Standing Commission on Vaccination (Stiko) recommended this for certain groups and people who have had close contact with infected persons. It sees an increased risk of infection, particularly among men who have same-sex sexual contact with changing partners. According to the Senate Department for Health, demand for the MPX vaccine is very high in Berlin; however, the vaccine is still in very short supply. The shortage in vaccine supply has increased the chances of spreading MPX, which implicitly increases the possibilities of the Europe monkeypox testing market growth. However, in the future, the growing number of vaccinations for monkeypox may hinder the growth of the MPX testing market. In addition, as the currently authorized vaccine, Imvanex is not authorized for children and pregnant women, the growth of MPX testing still holds growth opportunities during the forecast period. Also, an increase in risky behavior may cause a resurgence of the virus that may keep the opportunity for MPX testing market demand.
