Candida infection testing involves diagnostic procedures used to detect the presence of Candida species, which are fungi that can lead to infections in different parts of the body. These tests help identify the type and severity of the Candida infection, allowing for appropriate treatment planning.
The primary types of Candida infection testing are for invasive candidiasis and candidemia. Invasive candidiasis is a serious fungal infection that occurs when Candida yeast enters the bloodstream, spreading to various organs such as the heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other tissues. Testing methods include vaginal pH tests, nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), and microbiome tests, applied in settings such as hospitals and laboratories.
The candida infection testing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides candida infection testing market statistics, including candida infection testing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a candida infection testing market share, detailed candida infection testing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the candida infection testing industry. This candida infection testing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The candida infection testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.69 $ billion in 2024 to $16.72 $ billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising incidence of candida infections, growing awareness and diagnostics, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, rise in hospital-acquired infections, and increasing funding for research.
The candida infection testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.29 $ billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the emergence of new candida strains, rising awareness of fungal infections, expansion of healthcare access, aging population, rising awareness and preventive healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in molecular diagnostics, integration of digital health technologies, integration of AI, integration of machine learning, and personalized medicine.
The growing prevalence of yeast infections is anticipated to drive the expansion of the candida infection testing market. Yeast infections, caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida, commonly affect areas such as the mouth, genitals, and skin, leading to symptoms such as itching, redness, and discomfort. Factors such as imbalances in the body's natural bacteria, weakened immune systems, and hormonal changes are key contributors to Candida overgrowth. Candida infection testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing these infections, enabling healthcare providers to confirm the presence of Candida and determine the appropriate treatment. For example, according to GOV.UK in September 2023, the rate of bloodstream infections caused by yeast in England increased to 4.0 per 100,000 population in 2022, reflecting a 4% rise from 2021. This upward trend in yeast infections is expected to fuel growth in the candida infection testing market.
Major players in the candida infection testing market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced technological solutions, such as fully automated PCR rapid tests for detecting Candida. These high-tech diagnostic tools utilize polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to provide quick and accurate detection of Candida species in clinical samples. For instance, in May 2024, Bosch Healthcare Solutions GmbH, a medical technology company based in Germany, introduced a PCR test for Candida auris detection on the Vivalytic platform. This test offers fully automated, rapid results within one hour at the point of care, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional culture methods, which typically take one to three days in centralized laboratories. This innovation is particularly valuable for clinical settings and high-risk patients, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment of serious C. auris infections.
In February 2024, Bruker Corporation, a US-based provider of scientific instruments and analytical solutions, announced the completion of its acquisition of ELITechGroup for approximately €870 million (around $942 million) in cash. This acquisition is a strategic step for Bruker to expand its portfolio in molecular diagnostics and infectious disease testing by incorporating ELITech's innovative technologies and expertise. ELITechGroup, based in France, is a global leader in the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry.
