The global clinical microbiology market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.60 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.35% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising healthcare expenditure in developing countries, growing demand for rapid diagnostic tests, and high adoption of advanced molecular diagnostic techniques are the major factors contributing to market growth. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service, U.S. healthcare spending grew 4.1% to reach USD 4.5 trillion in 2022, faster than the increase of 3.2% in 2021. Infectious diseases are primarily diagnosed using clinical tests.
According to the CDC, around 8,916 new cases of tuberculosis, 58,371 new cases of salmonella, 34,945 new cases of Lyme disease, and 371 new cases of meningococcal disease were registered in the U.S. in 2019. The American Cancer Society had estimated 1,958,310 new cancer cases with 609,820 cancer-related deaths in the U.S. in 2023. Thus, the constantly increasing prevalence of chronic diseases where clinical tests are used as one of the major diagnostic tools is expected to augment market growth. Sudden outbreaks of diseases, such as Ebola, Zika, and other contagious pathogens, are contributing to the rising prevalence of infectious diseases.
Moreover, as technology advances, molecular diagnostic technologies aid in early detection & effective treatment. These improved molecular diagnostic procedures indicate increased sample throughput, shorter turnaround times, increased specificity, accuracy, and higher reaction multiplicity. Furthermore, NGS, molecular cartridges, real-time PCR, and PCR+MS are advanced molecular diagnostic techniques that can analyze several samples in a single input. This chemical & pathogen characterization & identification enable product adaptation among important end-users, such as medical professionals, pharmaceutical & biotechnology businesses, and research centers.
This can provide an environment conducive to expanding the global market. The market faces several challenges, such as the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens, complex regulatory requirements, and need for specialized equipment & expertise. In developing countries, the need for proper laboratory infrastructure, trained personnel, and diagnostic equipment limits access to timely and accurate microbial testing. Limited funding and resources in healthcare systems hamper investments in advanced clinical microbiology technologies and personnel training.
