North America Pathogen Detection Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Pathogen detection plays a major role in disease diagnosis. When patients shows symptoms indicating a pathogenic infection, then samples of blood, urine, saliva, and stool are collected and subjected to pathogenic detection assays for diagnostic purposes. The most types of common pathogen detection tools are culture and colony counting methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunology-based methods. They involve DNA analysis, bacterial counting, and antigen-antibody interactions.

North America Pathogen Detection Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing Research and Developmental Activities

Increasing growth in the R&D activities in diagnostic industries and innovation towards the rapid detection have led to huge improvement in the market. Latest advancement in R&D help to mitigate the impact of pathogen based infectious disease burden. Moreover, the rapid detection and accuracy in results within less time have increased the demand for pathogen detection in upcoming years. For instance, as per the article published by Research America, the U.S. spent USD 182.3 billion in R&D activities for the U.S. medical and health causes and development of innovative technology in 2017. While, the industrial sector invested around USD 121.8 billion in medical and health R&D activities resulting around 67% of total amount spent on it. Thus, this factor increases the growth of the market.

• Rising Concern Associated with Food Safety

Food safety is a global concern and is largely coming into highlight by consumers. As a result, regulations necessitating food safety tests, for finding elements and inspecting the microbiological quality have been implemented at every level of the administrative framework in several countries. The concerns associated with bacterial pathogens have boosted companies such as Eurofins to enhance their microbiological and chemical analysis in the country. The presence of local market players led to intense competition, mainly in microbial testing. Thus, this increases the growth of the market.

Opportunities

• Growing Prevalence of Food-borne Diseases

The increasing incidences of food-borne diseases are taking a big toll on human health. Therefore, the detection of pathogens in food is the only solution used for the prevention of microbial infections. The pathogens cause numerous life-threatening diseases in food; some of them can be cured; though, some pose a major threat to human life. For instance, per a report by the Centre for Disease control and prevention, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections cause the illness to nearly 73000 population and the death of approximately 60 people annually in the North America. Children, females, and the elderly are at higher risk of getting infected with food-borne diseases that affect the human body's intestinal tract and cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and fever. Thus, this factor boost the growth of the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Increasing Cost of Identification Tests

The techniques currently used to detect microbial pathogens depend on well-established clinical microbiology monitoring approaches, which have numerous drawbacks. Standard culture and susceptibility tests can help to detect pathogens, but they are time-consuming, and very expensive, and require labile natural products. Not all developing countries can afford and adopt these techniques for quicker detection of pathogens. These all factors hamper the growth of the market.
