Diagnostic Testing of STDs Market Growth Accelerated by Increased Government Initiatives
Diagnostic testing of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
has become essential in order to detect infections early and provide patients
with prompt treatment. STD diagnostic tests help identify the presence of
harmful pathogens that are transmitted through sexual intercourse, including
HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. Rapid diagnostic tests
and point of care testing have made it more convenient for individuals to get
tested without needing to visit a hospital. The global Diagnostic Testing of
STDs Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 10.4 Bn in 2023 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in
a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Increased initiatives by governments around the world to spread awareness about
STDs and benefits of early testing is a major trend fueling the growth of the diagnostic
testing of STDs market. Many organizations collaborate with local
governments to conduct campaigns that educate citizens on prevention as well as
importance of regular checkups. This has encouraged more people to get screened
for STDs proactively. According to WHO, timely diagnosis and treatment averts
further transmission and progression of STDs to more advanced stages. Greater
governmental focus on public health through increased testing and counselling
programs is expected to drive the demand for diagnostic tests over the forecast
period.
Segment Analysis
The diagnostic testing of STDs market is segmented based on test type,
laboratory, and end-user. Under test types, STD nucleic acid amplification
tests (NAATs) dominate the market as they are non-invasive, highly accurate,
and are quickly replacing other conventional tests such as blood tests. They
provide results in a few hours and are able to detect multiple STDs
simultaneously.
Key Takeaways
The global diagnostic testing of STDs market is expected to witness high growth
over the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, rising awareness regarding STDs,
increasing incidence rates of STDs, and technological advancements in STD
diagnostic kits and tests are the key factors driving the market.
Regional analysis: North America dominates the global market currently due to
high STD prevalence rates and increased accessibility to diagnostic testing. However,
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period
owing to rising healthcare spending, growing awareness, and improving
healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries such as India and China.
