Antimicrobial Resistance Diagnostic Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Pathogen (Drug Resistant Streptococcus, Drug Resistant Streptococcus Pneumoniae (DRSP), Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, Clostridium Difficile (CD), Drug Resistant Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (DRNG), Drug Resistant Salmonella (DRNTS) and Other Pathogens), Technology, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Diagnostic Market is accounted for $4.76 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $9.58 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. The market for diagnostic tests and instruments used to find and establish the presence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microorganisms is referred to as the ""antimicrobial resistance diagnostic market."" As a result of the development of the ability of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, to withstand the effects of antimicrobial medications, which reduces or eliminates their effectiveness in treating infections, antimicrobial resistance is a major public health concern worldwide.
According to the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, AMR caused about 700,000 deaths globally every year. Moreover, the number can reach 10 million each year by 2050, if diagnosis and treatment of microbial infections are not managed properly.
Market DynamicsDriver
Increasing initiatives and awareness
Increased initiatives aimed at combating the problem were made possible by the growing knowledge of the effects of antibiotic resistance among healthcare professionals, legislators, and the general public. Furthermore, governments, organizations, and regulatory authorities have started campaigns to encourage the responsible use of antibiotics as well as the creation and acceptance of diagnostic tools to combat resistance.
RestraintExpensive diagnostic procedures and policies for limited reimbursement
Some cutting-edge antimicrobial resistance diagnostic tests can be expensive, which restricts access to and use of them, particularly in places with low resources. The high price of diagnostic tests may be an obstacle to market expansion, especially in areas with constrained healthcare resources. However, antimicrobial resistance diagnostics may be covered and reimbursed under different policies, depending on the region and healthcare system. Their uptake and market expansion may be hampered by inadequate payment or a lack of insurance coverage for certain tests.
OpportunityTechnological developments and guidelines and support for regulations
Diagnostic technology advancements in areas like molecular diagnostics and next-generation sequencing have improved the capability of tests for antibiotic resistance. These innovations allow for the quicker and more precise detection of resistance markers, empowering medical professionals to determine effective treatments. Additionally, the importance of antibiotic resistance has been acknowledged by regulatory bodies and healthcare organizations, which have released recommendations and guidelines to promote their usage. These regulations support the regulatory environment needed for market expansion while facilitating the uptake of diagnostics.
ThreatInadequate infrastructure and expertise and complex regulatory procedures
Antimicrobial resistance tests may not be used to their full potential in some areas due to a lack of knowledge about them. Inadequate healthcare infrastructure and a lack of laboratory space might also prevent the use of modern diagnostics and restrain market expansion. However, it might take a while and be difficult to get regulatory approval for novel diagnostic tests for antibiotic resistance. The introduction of novel diagnostics might be hampered by strict regulatory regulations, which can often delay the launch of products.
Covid-19 ImpactPriorities in healthcare have dramatically changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to focus on managing and containing the virus's spread. Resources have been redirected toward COVID-19 testing and treatment, including laboratory capacity and manpower. The concentration on antimicrobial resistance diagnostics and research efforts in this area may have been momentarily hampered by this resource relocation. Due to the possibility of secondary bacterial infections in COVID-19 patients, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in the use of antibiotics.
The methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus segment commanded the largest share over the forecast period. The main cause of the segment's growth is the rising prevalence of MRSA in hospital settings. For instance, the CDC reports that approximately two in every 100 of those with S. aureus on their noses develop MRSA. This percentage of the population is roughly 33%. Moreover, another element influencing the segment's growth is the rise in regulatory approvals for diagnostic tests for identifying MRSA.
The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Because of the rising rate of hospital-acquired infections, the surge in hospitalizations caused by the high rate of AMR infections, prolonged hospital stays, expanding access to cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, affordability, and better healthcare coverage, the hospital segment is predicted to grow profitably over the forecast period. Additionally, pathogenic infections, including MRSA, CDI, and DRSP, can result in pneumonia, sepsis, bloodstream infections, and surgical site infections. Therefore, the prevalence of pathogen-focused illnesses in hospitals also contributes to segment growth.
Region with largest shareDue to the high risk of developing AMR, the presence of supportive government AMR regulations, and the region's advanced healthcare infrastructure, North America held the largest percentage over the predicted period. Furthermore, it is anticipated that regional expansion will be fueled in the upcoming years by the existence of major market participants and the strategic initiatives.
Region with highest CAGRDuring the forecast period, Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the most rapid expansion. A high frequency of antibiotic resistance, an increase in the demand for affordable diagnostic solutions, and the presence of unexplored market potential all contribute to the region's growth. Additionally, the region's expansion is also anticipated to be aided by the region's sizable, targeted population, growing geriatric population, and a number of government-sponsored awareness campaigns. Additionally, it is anticipated that growth in R&D efforts connected to the creation of improved diagnostic solutions will support region expansion.
