Due to drug failure in clinical trials and regulatory barriers, bio-pharmaceutical companies are turning toward new medical solutions at the molecular level and molecular diagnostics. In addition, next-generation sequencing and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPER) technology significantly improve molecular diagnostics for oncology and infectious diseases care. Such factors are expected to lead the in vitro diagnostics market in the future.
Increasing Product Launches & Mergers & Acquisitions in IVD
IVD diagnostics is among the biggest industries to witness several product launches in recent years. The increasing demand for new diagnostics tests forces us to develop new solutions. Currently, the IVD players are operating in a world that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells best-in-class solutions. COVID-19 is one of the best periods where several companies have come forward to develop rapid test kits to detect coronavirus.
In the first half of 2021, IVD companies reported high revenues due to COVID-19 testing. However, in the year's second half, many companies experienced low demand for COVID-19 testing, resulting in decreased COVID-19 product revenue. In the same period, to increase the production and expansion of distribution networks, IVD companies adopted M&A strategies. To prepare for COVID-19, some major and emerging IVD companies have turned to M&As to increase their diagnostic testing portfolio. These acquisitions witnessed the in vitro diagnostics market expansion and portfolio expansion.
A large patient population with chronic and infectious diseases drives the demand for IVD solutions and fuels market growth.
Chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and others are public health concerns worldwide, resulting in high demand for diagnostic services. In addition, infectious diseases, such as HIV, COVID-19, influenza, staphylococcus, respiratory syncytial virus, and others, pose significant demand for diagnostic services and fuel market growth.
The adoption of advanced technologies in IVD drives significant IVD testing worldwide without experiencing the burden of time and cost. Moreover, they have increased the efficiency of diagnostics and delivered the most accurate results that accelerate market growth. Advances, such as a new generation of IVD products with AI and the digital platform, provide newer dimensions in the global in vitro diagnostics market.
SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
