Infectious disease diagnostics testing involves identifying the presence of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, in a patient's body. These tests are critical for diagnosing infectious diseases and making appropriate treatment decisions. They play a crucial role in controlling the spread of infectious diseases, guiding treatment choices, and monitoring outbreaks.
The main types of infectious disease diagnostics testing are molecular diagnostic tests and point-of-care tests (POCT) for infectious diseases. Molecular diagnostic testing refers to laboratory techniques that detect and analyze genetic material (DNA or RNA) to diagnose diseases, identify pathogens, and predict treatment responses. These tests find applications in areas such as respiratory infections, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), healthcare-associated infections (HAIS), sexual health, tropical diseases, and liver diseases. They are utilized by various end-users including diagnostic laboratories, hospitals and clinics, academic research institutes, and other healthcare providers.
Tariffs have created supply chain challenges and cost pressures in the infectious disease diagnostics testing market by increasing duties on reagents, diagnostic kits, laboratory instruments, and electronic components. These impacts have raised production and procurement costs, particularly affecting molecular diagnostics and point of care test segments, with north america and asia-pacific regions experiencing greater exposure due to reliance on imported consumables. Diagnostic laboratories and hospitals have faced pricing pressures and procurement delays. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, regional sourcing of test kits, and strengthened domestic diagnostic supply capabilities, supporting long-term market resilience.
The infectious disease diagnostics testing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides infectious disease diagnostics testing market statistics, including infectious disease diagnostics testing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a infectious disease diagnostics testing market share, detailed infectious disease diagnostics testing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the infectious disease diagnostics testing industry. This infectious disease diagnostics testing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The infectious disease diagnostics testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $42.24 billion in 2025 to $46.48 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, rising incidence of respiratory infections, expansion of diagnostic laboratory infrastructure, growing awareness of early disease diagnosis, increased government focus on disease control.
The infectious disease diagnostics testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $65.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising risk of global pandemics, increasing demand for rapid diagnostic solutions, growing investments in healthcare diagnostics, expanding disease surveillance programs, rising burden of tropical and viral diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for rapid and early infectious disease detection, growing adoption of point of care infectious disease tests, increasing use of molecular diagnostics for pathogen identification, expansion of diagnostic testing for emerging and re-emerging infections, growing focus on large-scale disease screening and surveillance.
The infectious disease diagnostic testing market is anticipated to experience growth due to an increase in respiratory infections. Respiratory infections affect various parts of the respiratory system and are caused by viral and bacterial transmission through close contact, poor hygiene, crowded living conditions, and seasonal variations. Diagnostic testing for infectious diseases is crucial for accurate identification and treatment of respiratory infections, enabling the precise detection of pathogens such as viruses and bacteria in patient samples. For example, hospitalizations for acute upper respiratory infections saw a 32% increase from 2,114 cases in 2022 to 2,797 cases in 2023, as reported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
Major companies in the infectious disease diagnostic testing market are developing innovative technologies to rapidly and accurately detect critical infections. Infectious disease diagnostics involves identifying pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, to guide diagnosis and treatment. For example, in January 2025, QIAGEN, a Germany-based biotechnology company, launched new QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing panels in India, including the Gastrointestinal Panel 2 and Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel, alongside the previously authorized Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel, all approved by India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). The QIAstat-Dx system uses multiplex real-time PCR with single-use cartridges to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously, providing results in about an hour for gastrointestinal infections and 80 minutes for central nervous system infections. These panels improve diagnostic speed and accuracy compared to traditional methods, enabling timely treatment, enhancing patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare system burdens. The system also offers configurable setups and cloud connectivity for remote monitoring and efficient data management.
In July 2024, Roche, a Switzerland-based company, acquired the point-of-care technology business of LumiraDx for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Roche aimed to accelerate its growth in decentralized and primary-care testing by integrating LumiraDx's multi-assay platform, which can perform immunoassay, clinical chemistry, and, with future development, molecular diagnostics. LumiraDx is a UK-based provider of infectious disease diagnostic testing.
