Growth in $21 Billion Molecular Diagnostics Market

Leave a comment



ARLINGTON, Va. (PRWEB)

There is a market in excess of $21 billion for molecular testing technologies, reveals medical market research publisher Kalorama Information in The World Market for Molecular Diagnostics Tests, 11th Edition, a recent report added to the firm’s Knowledge Center subscription. The majority of the market is COVID-19, but there remains a $10 billion dollar market for all other molecular in vitro diagnostics (IVD).

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19

As the COVID-19 crisis surfaced in the United States, molecular diagnostic manufacturers went to work with new RT-PCR testing kits. So what can we expect for the future? As mentioned, molecular is already a roughly $10 billion market without COVID-19. While it’s possible COVID-19 tests will continue to be panelized and added to larger menus and may not have the emergency system sales of its 2020-2021 crescendo, its influence should last in other ways. It already has boosted the respiratory and healthcare infection molecular testing markets.

Kalorama Information estimates a $11 billion dollar market for 2022 for COVID-19 molecular diagnostics testing. Most of the larger companies already participating in the IVD market have products. The worldwide demand for molecular COVID tests grew to around $20 billion in 2021 and then began to rapidly decrease in Q2 2022 and into Q3 2022.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND OTHER KEY AREAS OF FUTURE GROWTH

The dominance of the COVID-19 segment arguably isn’t surprising considering that the first category where molecular diagnostics earned their place was infectious disease. In this category, specific results were needed for treatment decisions. The pioneers in the molecular diagnostics field included Roche Diagnostics, Gen-Probe, and Becton Dickinson.

“The main focus of the initial molecular diagnostics products was infectious diseases including HIV, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and tuberculosis. These diseases are still critical components of the market,” says Bruce Carlson, vice president of publishing at Kalorama Information, a division of Science and Medicine Group. “Recent growth in molecular diagnostics methods has also been coming from inherited diseases, cancer, coagulation, and other areas.”

Beyond COVID-19, growth areas forecast over the next five years will be led by sexually transmitted infection testing, but will include other areas of focus, specifically:


  • STIs

  • Hepatitis

  • Respiratory

  • Tuberculosis

  • Cancer assays (blood)

  • Molecular human papilloma virus (HPV)

  • Pharmacogenomics
