Market Overview

Our healthcare experts have found COVID-19 Diagnostic Testing industry to be one of the most rapidly evolving and dynamic markets and the global market for COVID-19 diagnostic testing is predicted to grow at a CQGR of 23.50% over the forecast period of 3Q2020-4Q2021. The market is driven by certain factors, which include rising cases of COVID-19 globally, inciting the development of diagnostic tests, technological innovation resulting in market pull, significant external funding supporting market growth, and favourable regulatory scenario aiding companies to launch COVID-19 diagnostic testing products.

The market is favoured by the developments in the field of COVID-19 diagnostic testing solutions, particularly kits and assays, which are being developed by the emerging and the legacy diagnostic companies worldwide. Currently, the COVID-19 diagnostic testing industry is witnessing upsurge on account of growing number of cases worldwide coupled with the massive issuance of emergency use authorizations (EUAs) from the regulatory bodies to the manufacturers.

Furthermore, several diagnostic companies are focusing on the development of point-of-care (POC) rapid COVID-19 diagnostics tests having higher sensitivity and low turn-around time to benefit the patients, further providing provisions for the healthcare professions to offer treatment modalities.

Within the research report, the market is segmented on the basis of product type, sample type, technology, end users, and region. Each of these segments covers the snapshot of the market over the projected years, the inclination of the market revenue, underlying patterns, and trends by using analytics on the primary and secondary data obtained.

Competitive Landscape

The exponential rise in the number of COVID-19 cases on the global level has created a buzz among the diagnostic companies to invest in the development of efficient and rapid diagnostic testing solutions. Due to the diverse product and pipeline portfolio and intense market penetration, Abbott Laboratories has been a pioneer in this field and been a significant competitor in this market.

Several other companies such as Danaher Corporation, PerkinElmer Inc., and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, have also launched their respective COVID-19 diagnostic testing products, such as Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2, PerkinElmer SARS-CoV-2 Real-time RT-PCR Assay, and Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Test respectively, to compete with Abbott’s market dominance.

On the basis of region, Asia-Pacific (APAC) holds the largest share of the COVID-19 diagnostic testing market and is anticipated to grow at the fastest CQGR during the forecast period, 3Q2020-4Q2021. Growing number of COVID-19 cases, growing emphasis in the development of novel diagnostic technologies, and rising healthcare awareness, among others, are some of the factors attributable to its largest share in the market.
