DUBLIN, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market for Infectious Diseases by Indication, Type of Technology and Geography: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 'Point-of-Care Diagnostics Market for Infectious Diseases, 2020-2025' report features an extensive study on point-of-care diagnostics that are either commercialized or are under development for diagnosis of different types of infections. In addition, it features an elaborate discussion on the likely future opportunity associated with such tools, over the next five years.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the big three infectious diseases, namely human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV / AIDS), malaria and tuberculosis (TB), are reported to be the cause of approximately 2.5 million annual fatalities worldwide. Moreover, the pathogens responsible for causing these diseases are known to undergo selective mutations, which make them resistant to commonly used antibiotics.

This impedes the effective treatment of the aforementioned clinical conditions. Since the pathophysiology of such diseases is known to evolve with time, better diagnostic tools with high sensitivity and specificity are required for timely diagnosis and better treatment related decision-making. For diseases of bacterial origin, diagnosis is based on culturing the pathogen; this is considered the current gold standard. Although these methods are highly specific, they are time consuming, requiring three to five days for detecting the responsible pathogen.

On the other hand, in case of viral infections, molecular diagnostic platforms, such as next generation sequencing and real-time polymerase chain reactions, are typically used. However, these molecular level analytical techniques are expensive, complicated, and generally inaccessible in resource-limited settings.

Point-of-care diagnostics have shown to reduce the reliance on presumptive treatment, thereby, helping curb the inappropriate use of antibiotics. Till date, point-of-care diagnostics are widely used for the diagnosis of diseases, such as chikungunya, COVID-19, dengue, hepatitis, malaria, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. In future, we expect such tests / assays to dominate the in vitro diagnostics market.

One of the key objectives of the report was to estimate the existing market size and potential future growth opportunities. Based on various parameters, such as number of available / under development products, average price of point-of-care tests and estimated annual adoption rates, we have provided an informed estimate on the likely evolution of the market over the period 2020-2025.

The report also features the likely distribution of the current and forecasted opportunity across [A] target disease indications (chikungunya, COVID-19, dengue, Ebola, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and zika), [B] type of technology (lateral flow, molecular diagnostics, fluorescence immunoassay, solid phase, and others), and [C] key geographical regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and North Africa, and Rest of the World).

In order to account for future uncertainties and to add robustness to our model, we have provided three market forecast scenarios, namely conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios, representing different tracks of the industry's growth.
