These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Influenza, or flu, refers to a viral infection that mainly affects the human respiratory system, including the nose, throat, and lungs. Influenza diagnostics includes numerous immunoassay tests that aid in detecting the presence of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens in respiratory specimens. Some of the commonly available diagnostic tests include rapid antigen testing, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunofluorescence assays, serology, and rapid molecular assays. Healthcare facilities can assess the precision of these tests by looking at their sensitivity and specificity, which are crucial factors that determine their accuracy levels.

Influenza Diagnostics Market Trends:
The elevating prevalence of several chronic diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, etc., that increase the risk of influenza, is primarily driving the global influenza diagnostics market. Besides this, the expanding geriatric population, who are more prone to respiratory tract infections, is also catalyzing the market growth. Additionally, the rising availability of advanced diagnostic immunoassay formats along with the growing usage of miniaturized devices in influenza diagnostics is positively influencing the global market. Moreover, the introduction of CLIA-waived POC molecular influenza tests and the shifting consumer preferences from centralized laboratories to decentralized point-of-care testing are also augmenting the market growth. In addition to this, the emerging popularity of rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) that are convenient to use and provide results in approximately fifteen minutes is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, various initiatives by WHO to strengthen influenza surveillance, monitoring, and data utilization, are also stimulating the market growth. In line with this, numerous government bodies are becoming more actively involved in taking preventative steps to reduce the risk of influenza. For instance, the U.S. CDC and the South-East Asian Region (SEAR) have collaborated to support non-researched bilateral influenza as a response to avian, seasonal, and pandemic influenza. In the coming years, the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in influenza diagnostics to minimize the timelines for sample processing and facilitate error-free results is expected to drive the global influenza diagnostics market.
