Malaria Diagnostics Market, By Technology (Microscopy, Rapid Diagnostic Tests, Molecular Diagnostic Tests, and Other Technologies) and By Geography (Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
Malaria is a disease caused by plasmodium parasite, transmitted by bite of infected mosquitoes. When it bites, the mosquito injects malaria parasites into the blood. The severity of malaria varies based on the species of plasmodium. The majority of victims are young children from sub-Saharan Africa. The gold standard for the diagnosis of malaria involves microscopy with visualization of Giemsa-stained parasites in a blood sample. Malaria parasites can be identified by examining under the microscope a drop of the patient's blood. WHO recommends prompt parasite-based diagnosis by microscopy or malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) in all patients suspected of malaria before antimalarial treatment is administered.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing incidence of malaria, growing demand for novel diagnostic tools in malaria-endemic regions, and increasing government initiatives for prevention of malaria are some major factors expected to aid in the growth of the global malaria diagnostics market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Government of India), India is the only high endemic country which has reported a decline of 17.6% in 2019 compared to 2018. Moreover, the Government of India has developed a National Framework for Malaria Elimination (2016-2030) and a National Strategic Plan (2017-2022) with the aim to eliminate malaria (zero indigenous cases) in all Category 1 and 2 districts by 2022.
