Tuberculosis Diagnostics Market Trends, Price, Demand and Forecasts to 2024

The global tuberculosis diagnostics market is expected to reach USD 3.1 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Advent of advanced diagnostic methods such as Interferon-gamma Release Assay (IGRA), serological methods, and nucleic acid testing have resulted in the high usage rate of diagnostics. Moreover, Point of Care (POC) technologies such as antigen assays are also promoting the diagnosis rate of TB.

These advanced methods including POC diagnostics are affordable, accurate, simple, and yield quick results. Furthermore, the rising burden of TB is the primary factor responsible for the lucrative market growth. As per the World Health Organization, the global estimates of patients afflicted with TB were around 9.6 million in 2014. This high prevalence rate has led the government, healthcare organizations, research institutes, and market players to initiate endeavors directed toward containing the incidence of this infectious disease.

The increasing screening rate in the high burden regions, affordability of diagnostics, advanced methodologies, faster clinical decisions, and reduction in mortality rate are the focal areas of development. Improved preventive and curative diagnosis rates are the end results of these initiatives. This has led to a subsequent upsurge in the demand for diagnostic tests and the TB diagnostics market.
