Global Nipah Virus Infection Testing Market 2023-2030

Global Nipah Virus Infection Testing Market 2023-2030

Global Nipah Virus Infection Testing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Test (RT PCR Based Kits, and ELISA Kits), by Sample (Blood Serum or Plasma, Saliva and Throat Swabs, Urine, and Others), and by End-User (Hospitals, Research Institutions, Diagnostic Centers, and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

Global Nipah virus infection testing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The market’s growth is attributed to the growing incidence of Nipah virus infection across the globe. NiV can be passed from infected animals (such as pigs or bats) or their bodily fluids to individuals through contact. It involves fluids including blood, urine, and saliva. According to the National Institute of Health, in March 2023, Encephalitis and NiV infection are connected (inflammation of the brain). After exposure and a period lasting from 5 to 14 days, the illness starts with a fever and headache that persist for 3–14 days. Lethargy, disorientation, and confusion may then follow. Within 24–48 hours, these signs and symptoms may progress to a coma. Early in their infections, some individuals may experience respiratory issues, and 50% of those who exhibited severe neurological symptoms additionally had pulmonary symptoms. Transmission of NiV may occur through contact with infected animals such as pigs or bats, or their body fluids (such as saliva, urine, or blood). During the first recorded NiV outbreak, people contracted the virus through close contact with sick pigs. The NiV strain found during that outbreak seemed to have initially spread among bats, then to pigs, and finally to pig populations.

Segmental Outlook

The global Nipah virus infection testing market is segmented on the test type, sample, and end-user. Based on the test type, the market is sub-segmented into RT PCR-based kits, and ELISA Kits. Based on the sample, the market is sub-segmented into blood serum or plasma, saliva and throat swabs, urine, and others. Furthermore, based on the market is sub-segmented into hospitals, research institutions, diagnostic centers, and others.

The ELISA Kits Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Contribute Significantly to the Global Nipah Virus Infection Testing Market

Among the test types, the ELISA Kits sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global Nipah virus infection testing market. The segmental growth is attributed to the increasing ELISA testing adoption. There is potential for an expansion in the use of the tests in clinical and public health settings as ELISA has proven to be a viable technique for Nipah virus detection. Economical and effective diagnostic technologies such as ELISA can be utilized in large-scale epidemiological investigations. According to the National Institute of Health (gov.), in September 2022, ELISA is an effective, safe, and cost-efficient diagnostic tool that can be used to detect Nipah virus in large-scale epidemiological investigations. IgM and IgG ELISA tests can also help inform public health interventions. Furthermore, in comparison to a reference test from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US, the developed anti-NiV IgM and IgG ELISAs demonstrated a specificity of 99.28% and a sensitivity of 100%. Anti-Nipah IgM and IgG ELISA assays showed 100% negative predictive value and 90% and 93.94% positive predictive value, respectively, with test accuracy of 99.33%.

Regional Outlook

The global Nipah virus infection testing market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Nipah Virus Infection Testing Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the increasing demand for testing. The reported cases in Kerala emphasize the significance it is to having accurate and widely available diagnostic procedures for the Nipah virus. Testing for diagnosis, contact tracing, and epidemic management are all required after cases are confirmed.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in October 2023, since 12 September, 387 samples have been tested, resulting in six positive cases of Nipah virus infection and 381 negative samples. Furthermore, six laboratory-confirmed cases of Nipah virus infection, including two fatalities, were reported between September 12 and September 15, 2023, according to the Kerala State Government. Males between the ages of 9 and 45 were involved in every confirmed instance, which was recorded in Kerala's Kozhikode district.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the Nipah virus infection testing market include Creative Biogene, Jiangsu Bioperfectus Technologies Co., Ltd., Molbio Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., and YouSeq Ltd. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2023, Kerala received monoclonal antibodies from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and to combat the ongoing Nipah virus outbreak, a mobile laboratory has been set up at the center of the state.
