Global tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics market size was valued at USD 1.93 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 3.19 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during 2023-2030. North America dominated the global market with a share of 29.01% in 2022.


Tuberculosis is a contagious disorder caused by a type of bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The infection usually attacks the patient’s lungs. The infection can also attack other body parts such as the brain and spine.


Tuberculosis diagnosis can be performed through skin tests and blood tests. The increasing prevalence of this disorder has increased the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tests to control its spread. This factor is expected to significantly boost the demand for tuberculosis diagnostics in the coming years.


The tuberculosis diagnostics market growth is attributed to increasing TB incidences, growing awareness about the disease, and increased demand for tuberculosis diagnostics to control the disease burden. Furthermore, the rising focus of the market players on the approval and commercialization of their products for TB diagnoses has also been boosting market growth.



  • In August 2021, bioMérieux SA announced the launch of an interferon gamma release assay in association with a desktop immunoassay analyzer, which could be used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in blood samples.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Declining Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Negatively Impacted Market Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a decline in demand for tuberculosis diagnostic products during the pandemic. This factor was due to the significant decline in patient volumes for TB diagnosis.


The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decline in the rate of TB testing across the high-burden regions of the global market. Despite the strong infectious nature of the disease, during the initial days of the pandemic, the resources devoted to tuberculosis diagnosis programs were diverted to fight against the coronavirus pandemic.


As the cases attributable to COVID-19 increased worldwide, in 2020, various health workers, testing machines, laboratories, and health centers were diverted from tuberculosis care to COVID-19 care.



  • For instance, according to the Global Fund surveys in March 2021, in the top 13 high TB burden countries, the number of patients undergoing TB testing experienced an estimated decline of 29.0% as compared to the prior year. Moreover, testing for the more severe form of the disease, including antimicrobial resistance, and multidrug-resistant TB experienced a decline of 45.0% compared to the prior year.


The market players also experienced a decline in revenues due to decreased sales of their TB diagnosis instruments and consumables during the pandemic. For instance, bioMérieux SA’s immunoassay business segment, which includes tuberculosis diagnostics, witnessed a decline of -9.7% in 2020 compared to the prior year.


However, there was a significant rebound for the market in 2021, as TB testing increased significantly, especially in high-burden countries. As lockdown restrictions were lifted, the testing levels for tuberculosis increased and are likely to gain similar levels of procedural volume during the forecast period as it was before the pandemic.

Increased Public-Private Partnerships to Boost Market Growth


In the past few years, there has been an increase in public-private partnerships. The public-private partnerships have a strong positive impact on the market as they contribute to the expansion of tuberculosis diagnosis utilizing international healthcare standards. In the South Asia region, the private health sector provides a significant proportion of diagnostics for diseases, such as tuberculosis, as per government initiatives. Furthermore, government initiatives for increasing awareness regarding the disease and its early diagnosis are also expected to boost the market.



  • For instance, as per the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, in 2018, the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) had a total of 685 collaborations with civil society/partners from all states of India.


Developments in terms of private-public partnerships are expected to positively impact the TB diagnostics market. In February 2023, Roche Diagnostics announced the enhancement of its partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This collaboration aims to bolster laboratory capacities in countries that have been heavily impacted by tuberculosis outbreaks. Such public-private partnerships are driving the growth of the global market.


TUBERCULOSIS (TB) DIAGNOSTICS MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Favorable Government Policies to Surge the Demand for Tuberculosis (TB) Diagnostics


Governments have increased the policies for the diagnosis of tuberculosis to reduce tuberculosis burden globally. The demand for diagnosis is expected to grow over the next few years, as there is a strong increase in the levels of awareness amongst countries regarding the severity of the disease. Many countries have emphasized the development of policies to increase the diagnosis rates for tuberculosis.


Factors, such as the high incidence of tuberculosis in high-burden countries and increasing demand for TB testing, further increase the need for government policies and regulations to improve tuberculosis diagnosis rates. Furthermore, the rising awareness in high TB burden countries where the key focus is to reduce tuberculosis cases is expected to strongly propel the sales of tuberculosis diagnostics in the coming years.


Tuberculosis incidence has been growing at a faster pace every year worldwide. For instance, as per the India TB Report 2022, the total number of TB patients, including new & relapse cases notified during 2021 was approximately 1.9 million, which was 19.0% higher than in 2020. Due to such high TB incidence rates, governments from different countries have increased their focus on improving their healthcare expenditure for tuberculosis diagnosis and care.



  • According to the India TB Report 2022, India spent approximately USD 399.7 million in 2019-20, experiencing an increase of 39.9% in expenditure compared to 2018-19 for its national TB elimination program.


To reduce the incidence of TB, the government has been releasing policies, leading to strong growth prospects in the global market.



  • For instance, in September 2022, the President of India, launched Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, with a vision to eliminate TB by 2025.


Such policies and government initiatives are expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.


Rising Incidence of Tuberculosis in High-Burden Countries to Boost Market Growth


One of the most critical drivers that are positively impacting the market growth is the significant increase in the incidence of this disease across emerging countries. For instance, over the past few decades, there has been a surge in patient population suffering from tuberculosis. This factor led to increased demand for research into effective diagnostic technologies for improved patient outcomes and greater accuracy in the diagnosis of these conditions.



  • According to the Public Health Agency of Canada 2021, Canada reported a total of 1,904 active tuberculosis cases in 2021, with an incidence rate of 5.0 cases per 100,000 people. The incidence rate differed by gender, with 4.5 cases per 100,000 for females and 5.5 cases per 100,000 for males.

  • As per the WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2022, in 2021, approximately 10.6 million individuals fell ill with tuberculosis globally, representing 4.5% rise from 10.1 million cases reported in 2020. Likewise, between 2020 and 2021, there was an estimated 3.6% increase in tuberculosis incidence rate (new cases per 100,000 populations per year).


Such strong incidence rates and increasing demand for TB diagnoses are expected to propel the market growth in the coming years.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limitations of Existing Tuberculosis (TB) Diagnostics to Impede Market Growth


Despite a critical and increased need for advanced diagnostics technologies for these diseases, there are a few limitations that may hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
