RSV Diagnostics Market Analysis

Global RSV Diagnostics Market Overview

RSV Diagnostics Market Size was valued at USD 0.96 Billion in 2022. The RSV Diagnostics Market industry is projected to grow from USD 1.02 Billion in 2023 to USD 2.82 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.70% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032). RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a virus that causes illness in the lower respiratory tract. RSV is a leading cause of serious respiratory infection in preterm newborns and children under five years old. It can cause symptoms ranging from a slight cold to bronchiolitis and pneumonia.

The primary drivers driving the market's growth include the rising incidence of respiratory infections, the growing newborn population base, the rising need for in-vitro diagnostics, and the rising demand for point-of-care facilities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pneumonia caused 16 percent of all fatalities in children under the age of five in 2015, with 9, 20,136 children dying.

A mild Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) affects young children's upper respiratory systems. Coughing, sore throats, wheezing, and runny noses frequently characterize RSV. Rapid protein detection relies heavily on antigen-antibody reactions. Antibodies can be exceedingly specific, binding to only a small portion of an antigen, and can distinguish between very similar antigens. They detect proteins based on both their structure and content. Due to their weakened immune systems, older persons are more susceptible than young adults to significant consequences from RSV. The primary diagnostic procedure is a physical examination by the physician. In extreme cases, the doctor does tests, including molecular diagnostics for virus identification, serology tests, and quick antigen detection tests. 

Initial signs of respiratory syncytial viruses (RVs) include a moderate cold with symptoms such as congestion, a runny nose, coughing, sore throat, and fever. Young newborns may exhibit signs of exhaustion, irritability, and respiratory issues. Under typical circumstances, these symptoms subside after a few days. The rising incidence of respiratory syncytial virus infections worldwide, increased investments, technical developments, product approvals and introductions, government efforts, and other important strategies the leading market players take are the factors driving the studied industry's growth. Advanced methods like bio- and nanotechnology (PCR) are helping to develop current RSV detection technologies, such as western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA), direct immunofluorescence, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. In addition, the governments of several nations subsidize research and development projects to develop new therapeutics.

The appetite for the RSV diagnostics market is driven by factors such as the increased frequency of chronic diseases, such as respiratory disorders, in the neonatal population, the rising number of new newborns, and parental awareness raised by various health organizations. During the projected period, the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) diagnostic market is anticipated to expand due to the rising need for point-of-care testing to diagnose RSV-infected individuals and developments in the field of markers such as proteomics and genomics. Furthermore, the market for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) diagnostics is anticipated to grow due to the increased prevalence of RSV infections.

April 2024: Simple HealthKit, a company that enhances healthcare accessibility by providing lab-quality at-home sample collection kits and a full-stack platform for diagnostics, care, and treatment, has announced the availability of its at-home diagnostics and follow-up care kits for Diabetes (HbA1c), Respiratory Wellness, and Sexual Wellness on Amazon.com. The only products in Amazon's U.S. store that cover Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are the company's at-home Respiratory Wellness tests. Simple HealthKit's at-home diagnostics and programs are intended to assist individuals in the early detection of emergent health conditions, prior to their development into chronic or acute conditions. As such, they are both affordable and accessible. The end-to-end healthcare infrastructure has been constructed by Simple HealthKit, which includes its own CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratories for testing and follow-up care, as well as connections for treatment. The process commences with the provision of rapid results and reliable diagnostic tests (available at home, in clinics, or at the pharmacy). If a person's test results are anomalous for a health condition, the immediate next steps for consultation and treatment are provided.

AstraZeneca Pharma India Ltd., a science-led biopharmaceutical company, has been granted marketing approval by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to import and market 'Palivizumab,' a critical preventive therapy for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), in India. This approval was granted in October 2023. RSV is the second most common cause of death in infants under one year of age, and it poses a significant global public health challenge, particularly afflicting children. Malaria is the most common cause of death in this age group. 'Palivizumab,' an innovative therapy, is intended to prevent severe lower respiratory tract diseases that necessitate hospitalization due to RSV infection in children at high risk. Children under the age of two who have received treatment for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) within the past six months, infants born at 35 weeks of gestation or less and under six months of age at the onset of the RSV season, and children under the age of two with significant congenital heart disease (CHD) are all included in these high-risk groups.

Source: MRFR Analysis

The global RSV diagnostics market consists of four regions: the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa. The Americas is expected to dominate the RSV diagnostics market owing to the increasing incidences of RSV, rising healthcare expenditure, and technological developments in molecular diagnostics. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, annually in the United States, more than 57,000 children younger than five years old are hospitalized due to RSV infection.

Europe is anticipated to hold the second position in the global RSV diagnostics market. It is expected that the rising automation in vitro diagnostics, increasing occurrence of RSV diseases, and funding provided by the government are anticipated to drive the European market. For instance, according to the data stated by the University of Oxford, it is anticipated that over 30,000 babies and children below five years of age are hospitalized due to RSV in the UK every year.

The Asia-Pacific RSV diagnostics market consists of countries namely China, Japan, Republic of Korea, India, Australia and Rest of Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing region due to growing infectious disease burden including RSV infection, growing healthcare expenditure, and rising demand for RSV disease diagnosis. Moreover, China, India, and Japan are expected to be the fastest growing markets in the region due to the developing healthcare systems and growing numbers of government initiatives.

The Middle East and Africa is likely to hold the least share in the global RSV diagnostics market. However, growing awareness among the population and high investments by private market players, rising incidences of RSV in children in this region can boost the growth of the market.
