Rising Incidence of Infectious Diseases to Fuel Growth of Global Microbiology Testing Market

Pune, India, August, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Global Microbiology Testing Market Research Report.

Market Introduction

Market Research Future (MRFR) reports that the global market for microbiology testing was valued at USD 2706.1 million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 5409.1 million by 2023.  The market is set to expand at a phenomenal growth rate during the forecast period (2016-2023). Microbial testing is an analytical technique that determines a number of microorganisms in food, beverages, biological samples, and environmental samples. This technique employs chemical, biological, biochemical, or molecular methods to identify and quantify microbes.

Drivers and restraints

The growth of the microbial testing market is fuelled by the prevalence of various infectious diseases and increase in outbreaks of epidemics. Furthermore, the growing healthcare expenditure across the globe and increased research funding are expected to trigger the market growth as well.

On the other hand, stringent regulatory framework coupled with patient reimbursement situations is expected to impede the market growth. However, rising technological advancements in the field for product enhancement and also product launches by market players will be major causes for market progression in coming years. For instance, in March 2017, Cepheid launched Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra was launched by for better diagnosis of TB in children along with individuals with HIV.

Thus, product launches after thorough research and development are the most popular industry trends making their way into the market and shaping the dynamics positively.
