Automated Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market – Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

Automated Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market – Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

Automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing products are of two types, consumables and instruments. Consumables used in automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing includes culture & growth media, ready-to-use reagents, complete reagent kits, susceptibility disks, susceptibility plates, and susceptibility cards, among others. Key players offer reagent kits and disposables, which are designed for use with their automated AST instruments, which optimizes workflow and overall laboratory efficiency. Automated microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) instruments offer rapid, accurate, and efficient susceptibility testing, thereby enhancing workflow, reducing hands-on time, and enabling rapid reporting. Automated laboratory AST instruments are equipped with Laboratory Information System (LIS) compatible software to enable better compatibility.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance worldwide is expected to boost the automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing market growth. According to the World Health Organization’s Global Antimicrobial Surveillance System (GLASS) report of January 2018, antibiotic resistance is found among 500,000 people with suspected bacterial infections across 22 countries. The most commonly reported resistant bacteria were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, followed by Salmonella sp.
However, the major restraining factor affecting growth of the automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is the product recalls of instruments for failures or for various other reasons. For instance, in 2016, bioMérieux S.A.’s VITEK 2 Gram Positive Susceptibility Test Cards were recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as the product could lead to false susceptible results of Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., and S. agalactiae. This product was terminated in May 2021.
