The global bloodstream infection testing market size is expected to reach USD 977.57 million by 2030, registering at a CAGR of 4.5%, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of infectious diseases globally and the growing awareness and emphasis on infection control are some of the major factors driving the market. For Instance, according to an epidemiologic survey organized by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in April 2022, there was a notable increase in Candida auris cases across the European region. The survey revealed a significant rise in reported cases of C. auris, from 335 cases reported by 8 countries in 2020 to 655 cases reported by 13 countries in 2021. Bloodstream infections accounted for 15.3% of the reported cases in 2021.
In addition, increasing technological advancements and new product launches by key companies in the market, encouraging government initiatives, and increasing awareness about the importance of blood donation are expected to propel market growth. For instance, in April 2020. DNAe, a next-generation sequencing company, has received a "Breakthrough Device" designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its innovative LiDia-SEQ platform and first assay. This designation enables DNAe to develop rapid and cost-effective tests for infectious disease diagnostics, cancer, infection control, and pandemic preparedness and response. The designated assay focuses on infectious diseases, specifically bloodstream infections (BSI) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), aiming to detect and identify infections associated with sepsis directly from patient specimens. Through the Breakthrough Device program, the FDA will provide ongoing support and collaborative interactions to facilitate the development and launch of DNAe's LiDia-SEQ sequencing system and BSI/AMR test.
The key players in the market, such as F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., bioMerieux SA, BD, etc., are implementing the strategy of merger & acquisition to enhance product capabilities and promote their product offerings. For instance, in May 2021, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. completed the acquisition of GenMark Diagnostics for USD 1.8 billion. This acquisition would help Roche expand its molecular diagnostics portfolio. Similarly, in December 2021, the company acquired TIB Molbiol Group, which has around 45 CE-IVD-approved assays for hematology testing, inherited genetic testing, diagnosing infectious diseases, and transplant medicine.
