The global geriatric population is on the rise, with over 727.0 million individuals worldwide falling into the 65 and above age group. Due to factors such as multimorbidity, reduced immune function, and physiological changes associated with aging, the elderly are more vulnerable to COVID-19. In 2021, the CDC reported that 80% of COVID-19-related deaths occurred in individuals over 65 years old. Consequently, continuous testing of this demographic is crucial to prevent severe infections, presenting growth opportunities for molecular diagnostic tests in countries like Russia, Japan, and the U.S., which have the highest elderly populations globally. Given the diverse nature of infectious diseases and the increasing resistance of causative agents, it is imperative that the infectious disease molecular diagnostics test menus remain dynamic and comprehensive. For example, when the coronavirus outbreak in China was declared a global health emergency by the WHO in January 2020, RT-PCRs and sequencing tools were employed to identify and characterize the virus.

An anticipated increase in external funding for conducting clinical studies in infectious disease molecular diagnostics is expected to drive market growth. Funding plays a significant role in the product development process.

Other key drivers of market expansion include the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, the shift towards point-of-care testing from centralized laboratories, and increased R&D activity in infectious disease diagnostics. Scientific research and development efforts in developing novel technologies and techniques, such as mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing (NGS), have led to the evolution of rapid diagnostics for disease detection, further fueling market growth. For instance, according to an article by Frontiers in February 2022, non-typhoidal Salmonella causes nearly 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis globally each year, highlighting the need for effective diagnostics. The increasing preference for point-of-care testing by end users is also expected to drive market expansion.

Point-of-care diagnostics provide quick and valuable information for patient care, particularly where the disease is being experienced. Consequently, several companies are focusing on research and development initiatives to create point-of-care diagnostic solutions for developing nations. Major market players are constantly updating their product lines through the introduction of new products, joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions, all of which contribute to the expansion of the global study market.

The increase in the number of medical laboratories for infectious disease diagnostic testing is anticipated to contribute to market growth. In 2020, the Government of India announced the launch of three state-of-the-art high-throughput Indian Council of Medical Research labs in Kolkata, Mumbai, and Noida, aimed at increasing COVID-19 testing capacity. These labs are not only used for COVID-19 tests but also for the diagnosis of other infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and dengue. The rise in awareness among individuals for early diagnosis and management of infectious diseases, along with the increase in information technology systems to develop advanced diagnostic devices, is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global infectious disease testing market during the forecast period.

Therefore, technological advancements in diagnostic instruments and increased awareness regarding early diagnosis are driving market growth. However, the high cost associated with diagnostic instruments and the lack of skilled technicians are expected to restrict market growth during the forecast period.

 

The Global Infectious Disease Testing Market is segmented into product & service, technology, disease, end user, regional distribution, and company.

Based on disease, the segment of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is projected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period. The study anticipates substantial growth in this segment. According to the updated data from the Minority of HIV/AIDS Fund (MHAF), United States Department of Health and Human Services Statistics in June 2021, there were approximately 37.6 million people living with HIV worldwide in 2020, including 35.9 million adults and 1.7 million children under the age of 15. The same source also estimates that around 1.5 million people globally contracted HIV in 2020. The increasing prevalence of HIV and the demand for diagnostic tests and detection are driving the market expansion.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation and "Us Helping Us" launched the first in-home HIV testing program for residents in the United States in August 2021. This initiative, along with other global efforts, is expected to contribute to market growth during the forecast period, as it raises awareness about HIV. The market's expansion will be accelerated by new research and developments, technological advancements, and the introduction of technologically enhanced products by key competitors. For instance, Altona Diagnostics One introduced the 1.5 AltoStar HIV RT-PCR Kit in April 2021, an in-vitro diagnostic test that uses real-time RT-PCR technology to identify and quantify HIV-specific RNA in human plasma. Therefore, considering the increasing HIV infections, ongoing research and developments, and technological advancements, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) segment is expected to experience significant growth over the forecast period.

Based on technology, Molecular diagnostics is the dominant segment in the global infectious disease testing market, primarily due to its high accuracy, sensitivity, and ability to detect pathogens at the genetic level. This method enables early and precise identification of a wide range of infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, making it invaluable in clinical decision-making and outbreak management. The demand for molecular diagnostics surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, as RT-PCR became the gold standard for virus detection. Beyond COVID-19, molecular techniques are widely used for diagnosing infections such as HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and HPV. The adoption of multiplex PCR and real-time PCR technologies has further strengthened the segment, allowing simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens from a single sample. Advancements in automation, portability, and the development of rapid molecular point-of-care tests have expanded their use beyond centralized laboratories to clinics and remote settings. These advantages, combined with ongoing innovations in genomics and precision medicine, ensure molecular diagnostics maintains its leadership in infectious disease testing.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global infectious disease testing market due to several key factors. The region faces a high burden of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, dengue, and emerging zoonotic infections, driving demand for early and accurate diagnostics. Rapid urbanization, dense populations, and variable hygiene conditions contribute to frequent outbreaks, making effective testing essential. Governments across Asia-Pacific are increasing healthcare investments, strengthening disease surveillance programs, and promoting early diagnosis to combat public health threats. In parallel, rising healthcare awareness and improving access to medical services, especially in countries like India, China, and Southeast Asian nations, are expanding the reach of diagnostic testing.

The growing presence of local diagnostic manufacturers, advancements in molecular and point-of-care technologies, and strategic partnerships with global healthcare players are accelerating innovation and affordability. These combined factors position Asia-Pacific as a dynamic and rapidly expanding market within the global infectious disease diagnostics landscape.
