Why The Relaxation In Lockdowns Is Expected To Drive The Demand For COVID-19 Diagnostics Market

Palm Beach, FL – June 3, 2021 – As the world has adapted to the initial phase of the global pandemic, and vaccines are being manufactured to supply the ever growing demand, tests for the virus are in great demand themselves! COVID-19 medical tests play an important role in management of coronavirus and thus helping in containing the virus infection. These tests are available as POC and non-POC across various laboratories. POC test are comparatively easier than the other swab-based tests but they lack sensitivity and specificity thus providing a non-conclusive result. While these tests are useful in real-time monitoring of infection as a preliminary test, the swab-based tests are necessity for confirmation of COVID-19 infection as they incorporate RT-PCR technology, which provide accurate results. The recent requirements for COVID-19 tests are higher accuracy, faster results, low-cost, and high sensitivity towards coronavirus.  A recent report from Polaris Market Research said that the global COVID-19 diagnostics market was valued at USD 19.41 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 23.67 billion by 2027 to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period.  Active healthcare stocks in the markets this week include Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX), Global WholeHealth Partners Corp (OTCPK: GWHP), Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRNE), Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE).

 

The Polaris Market Research report added: “Key market participants are currently focusing on manufacturing and distribution of diagnostic test kits and service to cater to ever increasing demand in pandemic across the globe. In March 2020, Roche shipped its first set of diagnostic kits namely Cobas SARS-CoV-2, of which about 400,000 kits were shipped to in-network distributors across the U.S. ensuring faster reach to the end-users.  Additionally, some biotech companies are launching new PoC diagnostic tests, for instance, E25Bio, a U.S.-based Biotech firm has developed a new test which provides conclusive results within 15 minutes. In addition, Germany-based diagnostic equipment manufacturer Bosch has developed a rapid testing kit for COVID-19 which claims to detect virus within two and a half hours, such initiatives and product launches are expected to increase over the coming years.”
