COVID-19 diagnostics refer to the clinical tests conducted to detect the presence of the viral infection among individuals. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the newly discovered zoonotic coronavirus. Some common symptoms include fever, fatigue, dry cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and body aches. The viral infection is usually diagnosed through reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR), antigen-based and antibody testing. These tests use reagents and kits to obtain the sample from nasopharyngeal (NP), oropharyngeal (OP) and nasal swabs, human saliva or blood. They are widely used in hospitals, laboratories, clinics, research institutes and diagnostic centers.
The sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease and an alarming increase in the number of COVID-19 cases across the globe are among the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market growth. The continuous rise in the number of daily cases has led to the widespread adoption of diagnostic tests for rapid and comprehensive testing to provide early treatment to the patients. In line with this, the increasing demand for mass testing and molecular diagnostics is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the launch of novel antibody and serology test kits for home-testing, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. In comparison to the traditionally used testing kits, these variants are less time-consuming and can be integrated with software-based programs for accurate results. Other factors, including the implementation of favorable government polices to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 infection, along with significant improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
