Press Release

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.17% through 2030

The rise in healthcare-associated infections and the continuous advancements in antimicrobial susceptibility testing technologies, is expected to drive the Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market stood at USD 4.41 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.98 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.17% during the forecast period. The Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) Market is poised for growth due to the increasing global burden of infectious diseases and the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The growing number of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and the shift towards precision medicine are significant factors pushing the demand for effective AST tools. As the limitations of broad-spectrum antibiotics become evident, the need for targeted therapies, guided by AST results, has never been more critical. The push for faster diagnostic solutions that can provide quick and accurate results is a key driver, as healthcare providers seek to minimize delays in administering the correct treatments. Moreover, the development of more sophisticated and automated systems is enabling rapid AST processes, making it more feasible to integrate into clinical workflows.

A significant market trend is the increasing adoption of molecular diagnostics, which offer the advantage of delivering results in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional culture-based methods. The growing preference for point-of-care (POC) testing is also shaping the market landscape, as these devices allow for quick antimicrobial susceptibility results without the need for centralized laboratories. As hospitals and diagnostic centers face pressure to reduce the time from diagnosis to treatment, automated AST technologies that streamline workflows and enhance efficiency are becoming integral in modern healthcare settings. The integration of digital health technologies, such as AI-based systems that can predict bacterial resistance patterns, further accelerates the adoption of AST methods.

As the global focus on combating antimicrobial resistance intensifies, there are numerous growth opportunities for the AST market. Companies are focusing on the development of cost-effective, user-friendly testing solutions that can be implemented in resource-constrained environments. Expanding the reach of AST technology in emerging markets through strategic partnerships and collaborations can unlock new growth avenues. With increasing government and healthcare investments in diagnostic technologies, especially in regions where infectious diseases are prevalent, the market stands to benefit from expanding accessibility to rapid AST systems. Furthermore, as research continues into personalized medicine, AST is expected to play a pivotal role in enabling tailored antibiotic treatments, further driving market growth.

The Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market is segmented into product, technique, application, end user, regional distribution, and company.

Based on the Application, Drug Development emerged as the fastest growing segment in the Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing need for more effective antibiotics and treatments for antimicrobial-resistant infections. As resistance to existing drugs continues to rise, pharmaceutical companies are focused on developing new antimicrobial agents, which requires comprehensive and accurate testing of bacterial susceptibility. AST plays a critical role in identifying the most effective drugs for specific pathogens during clinical trials, ensuring that novel treatments can target resistant strains effectively. The surge in drug-resistant infections worldwide has amplified the urgency for the development of new antibiotics, further increasing the demand for AST in drug development processes. The use of advanced AST techniques, such as automated systems and molecular diagnostics, helps pharmaceutical companies speed up the process of identifying resistant strains, reducing development timelines.

Based on the Region, Asia-Pacific emerged as the fastest growing region in the Global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market during the forecast period. The rapid expansion of the Asia-Pacific market can also be attributed to the increasing burden of infectious diseases and a high prevalence of multi-drug-resistant pathogens. Countries in the region are facing growing challenges in controlling infections, especially due to the high population density, limited healthcare resources in some areas, and evolving patterns of resistance to antibiotics. This has heightened the need for more precise and rapid susceptibility testing methods. With improving access to modern healthcare technologies, Asia-Pacific is seeing a higher uptake of automated AST systems, molecular diagnostic platforms, and other innovative solutions that can provide faster, more accurate results. As the region continues to urbanize and healthcare access improves, the demand for advanced antimicrobial testing methods is expected to accelerate, making Asia-Pacific the fastest-growing market for AST solutions.
