Virology Specimen Collection Market Research Report 2022 | Upcoming Market Growth, Trends, Analysis by 2030
Market Highlights
According to MRFR analysis, the global Virology
Specimen Collection Market is expected to
register a CAGR of ~ 5.3% from 2022 to 2030 and hold a value of over ~USD
8,974 million by 2030.
Various manufacturers have ramped up the production
of viral specimen collection products due to the increasing demand for
diagnostic testing for COVID-19 across the globe. This, in turn, is driving the
market for virology specimen collection market. For instance, in April 2020,
Puritan Medical Products (U.S.) expanded its nasal swab manufacturing to more
than 1.0 million per week for COVID-19 testing, thereby boosting the market
growth. The market for virology specimen collection is also driven by key firms
developing innovative technologies that enable error-free laboratory-quality
specimen collection. The companies collaborate and partner with a number of
domestic and international players for expanding the development of virology
specimen collection market products. For instance, in June 2020, Henkel AG
& Co. KGaA (Germany) collaborated with Origin (U.S.) to meet the demand for
COVID-19 nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs. The collaboration leveraged Origin’s
expertise in conducting robust mechanical testing at its California facility.
Henkel also provided knowledge and technology for designing 3D printed
nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19 testing. These aforementioned factors are
significantly contributing to the market growth.
Regional Analysis
North America dominated the market for virology
specimen collection marketin 2020.
Increasing awareness regarding the disease transmission, diagnosis, and
effective management of microbial infections have been observed in this region.
This leads to the higher adoption of these products, thereby aiding the market
growth. As of November 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) supported the development of the host-response testing technology under a
USD 6.0 million, 14-month contract with Inflammatix, Inc. (U.S.). The company
is engaged in the development of three diagnostic tests, including HostDx
Fever, HostDx Sepsis, and HostDx PaperFlu. The tests provide rapid results
within minutes to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral. This,
in turn, supports in assisting clinicians to make better-informed and earlier
decisions for the treatment. Government agencies undertake these initiatives to
support the development of advanced products, further influencing revenue
growth.
Asia-Pacific is expected to register a lucrative
growth in the market for virology specimen collection market Insights. This is due to coronavirus testing conducted on a large
scale in Asian countries. As of 27th January 2022, reports from Worldometer,
India, completed over 722.2 million COVID-19 tests. The Respiratory Syncytial
Virus (RSV) is a common lower respiratory tract infection among younger
children in Japan. It is the major cause of hospitalizations for pneumonia and
bronchiolitis in infants. As per the data published by National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in January 2022, three to four out of every
100 Japanese children under six months of age are hospitalized for RSV. This
age group also accounted for 40% of all RSV-associated hospitalizations. This,
in turn, is driving the market growth.
Segmentation
The global virology specimen collection market Outlook has been segmented into product type, application, and end
user.
Based on product type, the market has been
segmented into swabs, viral transport media, blood collection kits, and others.
The viral transport media segment accounted for the largest share of the market
in 2020, owing to the emergence of newer pathogens, rising number of product
launches, and rising prevalence of viral diseases contributing to the segment
growth. For instance, in June 2020, Global Marketing Services (GMS) (Pakistan)
announced the launch of a viral transport medium (VTM) for the highest quality
and cost-effective sample collection. The media is aseptically filled in a
sterile environment for ensuring sterility and includes a flocked
nasopharyngeal swab. On the other hand, the swabs segment is anticipated to be
the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. The swab segment is
further segmented into nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs.
Based on application, the market has been segmented
into diagnostics and research. Diagnostic applications accounted for the
largest revenue share in 2020 in the virology specimen collection market. This
is due to the rising number of government-approved transport media, specimen
collection kits, and swabs for clinical applications. In addition, continuous
developments or offering more automated testing due to increasing demand for
testing and increasing risks of infection among healthcare staff while carrying
out throat swabs is further driving the segment. For instance, in June 2020,
researchers from the Southern University of Denmark (SDU) announced the
development of a fully automated robot called ‘swab robot’ in collaboration
with Lifeline Robotics for collecting swab samples from patients. The product
is aimed to simplify the process of sample extraction without exposing
frontline healthcare professionals to infection risk.
Based on end user, the market has been segmented
into hospitals & clinics, diagnostic centers, and others. The hospitals and
clinics segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2020 in the market
for virology specimen collection market. This is attributed to an increase in
the number of patients with various viral diseases visiting hospitals for
getting proper diagnosis & treatment and an increasing rate of
hospital-acquired infections. As per the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) reports, around one in 31 U.S. hospital patients are
affected with at least one healthcare-associated infection every day. This, in
turn, is driving the adoption of specimen collection kits for accurate disease
identification and diagnosis
