Virology Specimen Collection Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028

Segmented by Product Type (Viral Transport Media, Specimen Collection Tubes, Swabs, Blood Collection Kits), By Sample (Blood Samples, Cervical Samples, Nasal Samples, Nasopharyngeal Samples, Throat Samples, Oral Samples, Other Samples), By Region, and By Competition


Virology Specimen Collection market is anticipated to witness impressive growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the development of advanced viral specimen collection technologies such as immunoassay, nucleic acid-based amplification testing methods or PCR-based methods, mass spectrometry, and NGS methods for accurate, quick results for different viral infections across the globe. Along with the rising research and development in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry. Also, the growing focuses on the large molecule in biopharmaceuticals for developing novel drugs will further boost the growth of the market in the forecasted period. Similarly, growing advances in anti-viral therapy in terms of detection techniques, medication, and vaccines are expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The increasing number of laboratory tests

The increasing number of rapid tests for easy detection of viruses is expected to drive the growth of the market over the years. The accuracy of test results is important in making accurate diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. So rapid diagnostic tests are used for rapid and faster results with improving prescribed and reduced time for hospitalization which will further drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in November 2021, over 1 million sexually transmitted infections (S.T.I.s) are acquired every day across the world. These tests are necessary for accurate results by the collection of blood, urine, or other samples from patients to diagnose their specific medical condition and determine the most likely course of treatment.

Also, some other important clinical laboratory tests are used for virus detection, such as clinical chemistry, hematology, D.N.A. testing, reproductive biology tests, complete blood count (C.B.C.), comprehensive metabolic panel, basic metabolic panel, liver panel, lipid panel, HbA1c, HGB/HCT, urinalysis, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Hence, the Global Virology Specimen Collection Market will grow with different laboratory tests available, which are increasingly accepted by clinicians to navigate through highly contagious infections that include Ebola, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and hantavirus. This is expected to enhance the usage rate of viral specimen collection products for rapid diagnostic tests across the globe in the forecast period.

Rising prevalence of viral diseases and the emergence of newer pathogens

The growing prevalence of viral diseases, such as outbreaks of the Zika virus and Babesia, will enhance the demand for the virology specimen collection market during the forecast period. Also, the growing demand for innovative virology specimen collection technology, consumables, and instruments will further drive the growth of the market over the years. Other countries have started initiatives to check for new and emerging diseases, such as the prevalence of malaria in African regions and the possibility of mosquito-borne transfer of Zika, resulting in mandates for Zika virus screening in the region. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in November 2021, an estimated 37.7 million people were affected by H.I.V. at the end of 2020. Out of these, over two-thirds, (25.4 million) of the population were residing in the WHO African Region. In 2020, approximately 680,000 people died from HIV-related causes and 1.5 million (1.0–2.0 million) people acquired the disease. In addition, as per the data published by World Health Organization (WHO) in July 2021, there were an estimated 7 million new syphilis infections in 2020 across the globe. This, in turn, is expected to further boost the demand for the Virology Specimen Collection Market over the years.
