The global infectious disease point-of-care diagnostics market size was USD 1.12 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 1.3 billion in 2021 to USD 3.96 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 17.2% in the 2021-2028 period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -10.2% in 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with infectious disease point of care diagnostics witnessing a negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


Diagnostic tests are important for diagnosing diseases and for improving global health. Traditional diagnoses of infectious disease resulted in inaccurate results and were time-consuming. This flaw led to the emergence of rapid, accurate, and portable point-of-care testing products in the market.


POC testing enables faster diagnosis of infectious disease near the patient site providing quick results. Several researchers are now focused on the development of multiplex point-of-care diagnostic technologies. These MPOCT devices consist of hybridization papers, array settings, bead technology, or microfluidic systems that reduce the assay steps and provide diagnosis results in 15-30 minutes. The launch of new technology has transformed the accuracy and ease of use, and speed of testing. Thus, growing opportunities for exploring ways to accelerate the development of POC testing in the infectious disease POC diagnostics market are anticipated to leverage the market potential during the forecasted timeframe.


Launch of POC Kits for COVID-19 Infection to Improve Disease Diagnostics Management


The COVID-19 pandemic has moderately affected the global market as pharmaceutical companies, and research institutes are currently focused on developing POC kits for COVID-19 diagnosis. The introduction of advanced products and quick turnaround time kits will boost the market growth in the forecast period. For instance, in July 2020, BD (Becton, Dickinson, and Company) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for rapid, point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test for use with its broadly available BD Veritor Plus System. However, demand and sales for diagnosis products related to infectious diseases such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), and CDI (Clostridium difficile infection) have declined due to disruptions in the supply chain and imposition of lockdown measures.


Moreover, a decline in the routine testing of diagnostic procedures for various diseases has hampered the company's revenue, such as Roche, Abbott, etc. However, the market is expected to revive soon, as the pandemic did not severely hit the sector.


LATEST TRENDS

Application of Nanotechnology for Infectious Disease Diagnosis has Attracted Huge Investments


Despite the tremendous efforts put into managing infectious diseases, the development of low-cost, accurate, and sensitive POC products is in massive demand. Nanotechnology has opened the doors for widespread applications in the healthcare industry. Several players have emphasized the introduction of nanoparticle-based and nano device-based POC platforms. For instance, in March 2019, Sona Nanotech Inc. announced a collaboration agreement with UK company OLM Diagnostics to develop a sensitive POC diagnostic test for infectious diseases using nanotechnology. As nanoparticles have a high surface area to volume ratio, that makes them suitable for numerous applications.


Moreover, the disease diagnosis can be done using a minimal volume of samples in kits prepared using nanotechnology to obtain real-time results of patients. Therefore, for infectious disease diagnosis, nanotechnology application provides reliable and rapid results.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Prevalence of Infectious Diseases to Foster Demand for Rapid POC Diagnostic Test Kits


Globally, the increasing prevalence of HIV/Influenza/RSV, etc., leads to an increase in the rate of diagnosis of patients. For instance, according to the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), in 2019, approximately 38 million people were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Furthermore, according to another report published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in the year 2018, around 10 million people were affected by tuberculosis worldwide. Thus, the growing infection rate of the various diseases globally will lead to an increase in the uptake of infectious disease point of care products for its diagnosis and subsequently aid the growth of the market during the forecast period.


Rising Inclination towards Decentralized Health Care System to Aid Growth


Owing to advantages such as quick turnaround time and the ability to make immediate treatment decisions, POC diagnosis has become a crucial part of patient-centric healthcare. There has been a preferential shift from centralized to decentralized point of care testing for infectious diseases, leading to improved patient care. The growing demand for rapid tests has encouraged the market players to supply POC products to decentralized locations, thereby driving this market. For instance, Abbott has developed ID NOW, the fastest molecular point-of-care test, which offers rapid results for COVID-19 within 13 minutes and is being used at various decentralized healthcare locations such as physicians' offices and urgent care clinics. Thus, the adoption of rapid diagnostic testing at decentralized healthcare settings allows the ease of accessibility of these devices among less trained personnel and eliminates the need for the transportation of samples to the core labs. The factors as mentioned above are anticipated to accelerate the infectious disease point of care diagnostics growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Accuracy Associated with Point-of-care Diagnostics Tests to Reduce Adoption


A major portion of the global population with infectious diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis resides in developing countries. In low-middle income countries, lack of training among clinicians and poor product accessibility due to lower per capita expenditure has led to a decreased adoption of POC kits. For instance, according to an article published by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2019, among the survey of 420 clinician respondents in Africa, more than 30% of the clinicians lacked proper training to perform the point of care diagnostic tests. This results in the misinterpretation of results, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test. Thus, in turn, it is likely to hamper market growth.
