Middle East and Africa Syndromic Multiplex Diagnostic Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Definition and Insights

Syndromic multiplex diagnostic is a type of advanced diagnostic test utilised to detect infectious diseases such as respiratory infection, infective gastroenteritis, sexually transmitted infections, sepsis, and meningitis, among other types of infectious diseases. The syndromic multiplex diagnostic also helps the clinicians or hospitals to detect the symptoms and signs of the various types of diseases. This lets the health care providers provide the right treatment for the patients and offer more precise outcomes and care that can be performed more quickly.

Syndromic multiplex testing is used to diagnose many pathogens simultaneously. In the syndromic multiplex diagnostic, various types of reagents & consumables and instruments & accessories are used, which helps maintain accuracy and provide fast diagnosis results. These multiplex tests are rapidly diagnosed with certain infections, allowing clinical management decisions to be made promptly. The tests based on multiplex technology are known as test panels. The panels used in syndromic testing are designed to diagnose multiple diseases associated with the same or similar syndrome type. These panels help evaluate the cause of the disease at the point of care. Gastrointestinal panels and respiratory panels are the types of syndromic panels.

Syndromic multiplex testing utilizes the advanced technology of multiplex PCR which provides accurate and fast diagnostic results, with the help of the multiple panels used in syndromic multiplex diagnostic to provide diagnostic results within an hour. The new generations of syndromic multiplex can rapidly identify the common type of pathogens in the respiratory specimens, blood and cerebrospinal. The use of multiplex panels is associated with quicker turnaround time, reduction of other unnecessary laboratory tests, faster diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Middle East and Africa syndromic multiplex diagnostic market will grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

Syndromic Multiplex Diagnostic Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in prevalence of infectious diseases

The rising incidence of infectious bacterial and viral diseases impacts the market's demand because, in the syndromic testing, multiplex real-time PCR technique and the syndromic approach are used for molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases.

• Increasing awareness towards early diagnosis

People are getting more aware of the early diagnosis of diseases required for effective treatment. The multiplex diagnosis provides fast and accurate results; hence, the increase in demand for these instruments is driving the market's growth.

Opportunities

• Development of Diagnostic Laboratories

Diagnostic laboratories play a central role in healthcare by providing accurate information, the foundation for effective care. The requirement of reliable, fast, and accurate test results is vital in emergency rooms, critical care centers, and other situations where treatment decisions must be based on the diagnostic results. Hence, the development of diagnostic laboratories is acting as opportunity for market growth.

• Rising Diagnostic Healthcare Expenditure

The growing healthcare expenditure is expected to increase the availability of services and affordability for the population to opt for better and more precise diagnostic services to manage their diseases. The increase in healthcare expenditure ensures better availability of diagnostic services. Hence, huge health care expenditure is a favourable factor and is acting as an opportunity for the growth of the syndromic multiplex diagnostic market.

Restraint/Challenge

• Explicit Limitation of Syndromic Multiplex Testing

The current limitations of syndromic multiplex diagnostic are that the molecular assays used in this application can identify a limited or few numbers of microbial targets, also the assays have moderate sensitivity, which may hamper the market growth.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Syndromic Multiplex Diagnostic market

COVID-19 has positively affected the market. Market players are launching different products for the detection of the SARS-CoV virus. There is an increase in approval of products by regulatory bodies after post COVID-19, which leads to an increase in market growth.

Recent Development

• In December 2021, BD expanded its BD COR system to include a new MX instrument for molecular testing of infectious diseases. The MX instrument expands the platform and automates essential testing assays for women's health and STI testing using a multiplex PCR assay design. This has helped the company to increase its portfolio.
