 Testing Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) is a type of bacteria that can cause tuberculosis. AFB testing is a laboratory test used to identify acid-fast bacteria, which are resistant to staining with ordinary dyes. The importance of AFB testing is that it can help diagnose and treat tuberculosis.
Regents:
Regents is a solution that helps laboratories to grow and identify acid-fast bacillus (AFB) in samples. It works as an alternative to conventional culture methods for the detection of A.F.B., which is considered as one of the most significant threats in food chains nowadays, especially in meat products and dairy products industry.
Instruments:
Instruments and it's usage in Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) testing market is used for detection of acid fast bacillus. This procedure involves detecting the presence of an enzyme, p-nitrophenolase, which is produced by this microorganism when they are injured or stressed. Presence of this enzyme indicates that the bacteria are alive and can be cultured from the sample taken from a patient’s site.
Application Insights:
The hospitals segment dominated the market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. This can be attributed to a rise in number of hospital-acquired strains of bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. In addition, an increase in healthcare spending by governments as well as individuals is likely to boost industry growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific will witness significant growth owing to factors such as increasing investments for new healthcare facilities along with rising awareness regarding diseases caused by germs that are not responsive to antibiotics. Furthermore, favorable government regulations and policies for improving access towards advanced medical treatment coupled with high disposable income levels will further propel industry expansion over the coming years.
Increasing cases of chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes mellitus.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. This is due to the presence of a large number of acid-fast bacteria testing laboratories and high incidence ofAFB disease. In addition, quick adoption of technologically advanced products for AFB testing by North American laboratories is expected to drive regional growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to increasing government initiatives for tackling healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and rising awareness about AFB vaccines among physicians & patients in this region.
Latin America market was valued at USD X million in 2017.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing incidence of tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory infections: AFB testing is used for the diagnosis of TB and other respiratory infections. The increasing incidence of TB and other respiratory infections is expected to drive the growth of the AFB testing market.
- Growing demand for rapid diagnostics: The growing demand for rapid diagnostics is another major driver for the AFB testing market. Rapid diagnostic tests offer results within minutes, which helps in early diagnosis and treatment of patients. This drives the adoption of AFB tests, thereby boosting the growth of this market.
- Technological advancements: The technological advancements in molecular biology are helping in developing better diagnostic methods for tuberculosis, including AFB testing methods. This is driving the growth of this market as more hospitals are adopting these technologies to improve patient care outcomes..
