Middle East and Africa Microplate Reader Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Type, Application, and End User

The Middle East and Africa microplate readers market is expected to reach US$ 19.79 million by 2027 from US$ 16.24 million in 2019; it is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 2.6% from 2020 to 2027. The growth of the market is attributed to some key driving factors such as increasing incidence of infectious diseases and consistent research in drug discovery activities. However, high cost of advanced microplate reader is the major factor hindering the market growth.

A microplate reader is laboratory machine used to estimate bio-chemical or physical reactions, properties, and analytes within the microplate well. It reduces operational time to save reagent costs, allowing researchers to commit more time to data analysis and create actionable insights. Infectious diseases are considered one of the leading causes of death worldwide. As per the WHO estimates, around 3–5 million people contract severe flu every year worldwide, and around 650,000 people die because of the flu. People with infectious diseases account for most hospital admissions and clinical diagnostics. Clinical diagnostics help detect early signs and risk factors, creating new opportunities for early intervention. Thus, the heavy burden of infectious diseases is expected to drive the growth of the microplate reader market during the forecast period. Diagnostic tests have a decisive impact on each step of diagnosis, from screening to help prevent certain diseases, early diagnosis at the onset of a disease, and identify the responsible pathogen. The microplate reader market is driven by the growing incidence of infectious diseases and the increasing adoption of the automated platform in diagnostic laboratories. Microplate readers are also used in the drug discovery and research, and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Hence, various research organizations are engaged in the research of novel therapeutics, which is further increasing the adoption of advanced analysis tools such as microplate readers.

The Coronavirus outbreak has highly affected the Middle East region. Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused enormous health, social and economic impacts on the countries, which is likely to continue in 2021. Even after some of these impacts have been mitigated or contained, there will be medium- and longer-term consequences like shortage of healthcare facilities and less production of medical equipment. With many laboratory and research services under acute pressure, the market for microplate reader is expected to be negatively impacted in the region.
