BLOODSTREAM INFECTION TESTING MARKET ANALYSIS

Blood stream infection is a condition where any bacterial, fungal or any type of infection is detected in the blood. The condition is evident when the infection enters into the blood stream of any part of the body. The bacteria or organisms that causes the blood infection are determined by using blood stream infection testing. There is major risk to human health because as there is rise in human population the hygiene level lowers which leads to the occurrence of various infectious diseases. According to the World Bank 2016 report, the population has reached up to 7.44 billion globally. This rising population leads to fuel the growth of the bloodstream infection testing market. Self-diagnosis of bloodstream infections is difficult to because of its common symptoms like chills, cold, fever, diarrhea, vomiting. This reasons are needed to make testing mandatory for the detection of the infection in the bloodstream. This leads to boost the market growth. The blood stream infection tester tracks antibiotic resistance markers in bacteria. It is also used to diagnose sepsis.

The global bloodstream infection testing market size was valued at US$ 3,758.7 million in 2017, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period (2019 – 2026).

Geographical expansion of blood stream infection testing manufacturers towards North America boost the market growth

On the basis of region, the global bloodstream infection testing market is segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America held the dominant position in the global bloodstream infection testing market in 2018, owing to preventive healthcare awareness and high adoption of the innovative products. Moreover, high diagnosis rate and developed medical facilities in this region also drives the growth of bloodstream infection testing market in North America.

Moreover, Asia Pacific is expected to witness higher growth in the forecast period, owing to high prevalence of chronic diseases in the region. The wide availability of innovative products offering better solutions to patients at marginally lower costs also drives the bloodstream infection testing market growth. For instance, in 2017, a group of researchers led by the National Cancer Center Japan (NCC), together with Toray Industries, Inc., developed a new method that could detect thirteen different cancer types with a single drop of blood.

Moreover, For instance, in 2017, Luminex Corporation announced that Japan’s Central Social Insurance Medical Council approved to provide reimbursement for two VERIGENE assays: the gram positive and negative blood culture test. This reimbursement is recommended by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. The VERIGENE system is able to detect pathogens from blood stream for various infectious diseases.
