Infectious Disease Diagnostic Testing: World Market Analysis

  • Report

  • 264 Pages
  • April 2022
  • Region: Global
  • Kalorama Information
  • ID: 5575755
Infectious disease testing comprises one of the largest and fastest growing applications served by the global in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry. Infectious diseases are ailments caused by pathogenic microorganisms that invade the body, either directly or indirectly via afflicted carriers or contaminated sources. IVD tests for these conditions are designed to detect and identify the responsible pathogen, pinpoint its origin, and determine appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Infectious disease IVD products include reagents, consumables, and instruments based primarily on immunoassays, molecular technologies, and conventional microbiology techniques. Specific types of tests are available for detecting hundreds of pathogenic conditions. The report examines the global demand for infectious disease IVD products, which is projected to increase as medical providers and healthcare organizations throughout the world heighten efforts to combat proliferating epidemic threats.

This report, Infectious Disease Diagnostic Testing: World Market Analysis, examines the global market for infectious disease testing products.


Specific applications analyzed include:

  • Healthcare-associated and opportunistic infections
  • Antimicrobial-resistant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis viruses
  • Diseases related to women’s health and sexually transmitted infections (STDs)
  • Emerging, neglected, and tropical disease threats
  • Respiratory tract infections and respiratory viruses (including COVID-19)

Geographic and Country Markets


Opportunities for infectious disease testing products vary widely between developed and developing countries.


Regions covered include:

  • North America
