Market Dynamics

Driver: Growth in influenza research for diagnostic technologies

The rising prevalence of influenza across the globe has increased R&D efforts towards its effective detection and diagnosis. Most research activity focuses on developing faster and more accurate diagnostic solutions for influenza viruses leading to market growth.

Opportunity: Advancements in genomic and proteomic technologies

The Human Genome Project and advances in molecular and biomedical technologies have generated a vast amount of data, which have resulted in the development of a multitude of assays and technologies useful for the diagnosis and management of influenza infections. These new technologies, based on genomic techniques (such as PCR-based) and proteomics (such as microarray-based detection), help discover new influenza viruses. They also enable better surveillance and rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases which serves as an opportunity for the market.

Restraint: Variabilities in test sensitivity and specificity

Sensitivity and specificity are the major factors that impact the results of influenza diagnostic tests. The antigenic variation of influenza viruses is the main reason behind the complexity of these tests. As a result, variabilities exist in the sensitivity and specificity of influenza diagnostic tests, which can impact the final test results. Due to this factor, false-negative results are more common than false-positive results, especially during peak influenza season which is a major factor restraining the growth of the influenza diagnostics market.

Challenge: Stringent regulatory framework

A major challenge that most diagnostic companies face in commercializing their tests is getting Medicare and private health insurers to pay for them. This is important not only to help the decision-making process of physicians within the practice of evidence-based medicine but also to achieve regulatory approvals and reimbursements for the tests. Regulatory approvals for influenza tests have become more stringent in recent years to ensure their efficiency in detecting all types of influenza viruses.

North America is the largest regional market for influenza diagnostics market

The global influenza diagnostics market is segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2020, North America accounted for the largest share of the global influenza diagnostics market. The North American influenza diagnostics market’s growth can be attributed to the growth in influenza research for diagnostic technologies and increasing prevalence of influenza.
