The End of the Pandemic Opens Up a New Market for Diagnostic Technology

The sleeping giant of Over the Counter and Direct to Consumer Diagnostics is set to create a broad new diagnostic industry. New technologies create rapid test solutions for the home market. Self-Sampling technology key.
Genetic DTC testing led the way. Now Infectious disease testing is moving directly to the consumer. 

New sampling technology, rapid and multiplex tests have changed the picture on how and where testing is done. And the pandemic has proven the need for self testing. This report explores the DTC outlook for different syndromes. Find out where the action is and the learn about the players.

Exciting technical developments especially in the seesaw between PCR and immunoassay, hold the promise of a dynamic, growing and evolving world market that holds the promise of diagnostics taking the lead in infectious disease eradication. Even CRISPR diagnostics are now coming into play.

The report has hundreds of pages of information including a complete list of Current United States Medicare Fee Payment Schedules to help sharpen your pricing. 

The report includes detailed breakouts for 15 Countries and 4 Regions. A detailed breakout for any country in the world is available to purchasers of the report.
