The global legionella testing market size is expected to reach USD 491.0 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of Legionella-related disorders, along with requirements of rapid diagnostic procedures, is expected to drive the industry growth.
According to the CDC, the number of people suffering from Legionnaires’ disease was 4,548 in 2013. The incidence of pneumonia and related disorders is constantly rising due to the contaminated environment. The rising incidence of Legionellosis will drive market growth in the coming years, especially in the industrial sector.
The conventional bacterial testing is least preferred nowadays since it is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Against the difficulties faced due to the conventional microbial testing methods, rapid automated tests are gaining popularity in the industry.
