Global monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak in 2022 highlighted the need for prompt diagnosis of the disease. Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease that is caused by infection with the Monkeypox virus. The disease presents clinically with fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes and is usually self-limiting. However, severe cases can occur. Timely diagnosis is crucial to limit human-to-human transmission through isolation of infected patients and contact tracing.
Market Dynamics
Global monkeypox (Mpox) diagnosis market is driven by the ongoing outbreak of monkeypox cases globally. The sustained spread of monkeypox to new regions and countries where it is not usually found has prompted greater testing needs. Introduction of novel diagnostics technologies such as multiplex polymerase chain reaction tests that can detect monkeypox alongside other orthopox viruses is boosting adoption. However, low disease awareness among the public and healthcare workers in some parts of the world poses a challenge for accurate diagnosis. Increasing research activities for the development of rapid point-of-care tests provide lucrative opportunities for market players in the long run.
