Microbiology Diagnostic Devices Market

Global Microbiology Diagnostic Devices Market - Introduction

• Microbiology diagnostic devices are used for microbiology testing, which conducts diagnostic assessments for micro-organisms, generally due to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungus, mycobacterium, and parasites
• Microbiology diagnostic devices help in the prevention, diagnosis as well as the treatment of infectious diseases
• These devices are employed to identifying micro-organisms rapidly in order to treat the contagious diseases initiated by bacteria, fungus, viruses, parasites and other micro-organism

Key Drivers of Global Microbiology Diagnostic Devices Market

Rising incidence of infectious diseases

The microbiology diagnostic devices market is being driven by a rising incidence of various infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungus, viruses, parasites, and other micro-organisms. For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 2 million infections, which are hospital acquired, occur in the U.S. alone each year, causing more than more than 90,000 deaths in the country. Such instances have fueled the demand for microbiology diagnostic devices.

Growing outbreaks of epidemics

The microbiology diagnostic devices market is being driven by a rising incidence of various epidemics occurring in certain regions. For instance, in 2019, Ukraine witnessed a large outbreak of measles that infected more than 25,000 people. Furthermore, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 83,540 measles cases were registered in Europe in 2018. Such instances are fueling the demand for microbiology diagnostic devices.

Increased funding and public-private investments

The microbiology diagnostic devices market is also being driven by increased funding provided for diagnostic services by both public and private sectors. For instance, in 2016, Core Diagnostics, a specialized diagnostics services company based in India, raised a funding of approximately US$ 12 million from private investors. Such instances have further propelled the demand for microbiology diagnostic devices.

North America and Europe dominate the global microbiology diagnostic devices market, Asia Pacific to witness significant expansion

• North America and Europe account for prominent share of the global microbiology testing/clinical microbiology market, due to the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure, rising incidences of infectious diseases, increasing investments by public and private sectors in life science research and increased funding in these regions
