Why is Preferred Technique in Microbial Identification Market?

Infection is one of the most common causes of diseases, and several of these infections have proved a pestilence. In the current scenario, the COVID-19 epidemic is the world’s deadliest infection, killing over 340,000 people as of May 2020, since being detected in December 2019. Due to the rapidly increasing number cases and deaths, the adopted of microbial identification methods is increasing around the world, to ascertain whether someone has the virus or not, and if not, which other microbe could be causing the symptoms.

In the coming years, the demand would increase the fastest for instruments and software, mainly as a result of the advancements in the microorganism-detecting technologies. For instance, the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) method is becoming widely popular, as it is cost-effective, offers faster results, and requires less amounts of consumables. In the present times, when hundreds of people are being tested for COVID-19 at individual medical centers, such cheap and quick-analysis techniques could witness a swift rise in demand.

In the coming years, Asia-Pacific (APAC) would observe microbial identification market growth at the highest rate, on account of the rising incidence of infectious diseases here, primarily due to the booming population of the elderly. 

This is simply because of the high prevalence of infectious diseases around the world, most of which are easily communicable to healthy people. Therefore, the infections need to be identified and treated as quickly as possible, to check the spread to other people. Similarly, food and beverage testing is also a prominent sector where microbes need to be detected. This is because of the stringent quality guidelines imposed on food and beverage companies, such as by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These policies, coupled with the increasing awareness of people about food contamination, are leading to an increase in the adoption of microbe testing methods in this sector.

Therefore, due to the rising menace of infections, presently COVID-19, as well as the expansion of the biotech, pharma, and food and beverage sectors, the adoption of microbial identification methods will keep rising.

How Rising Concerns Regarding Food Safety Contributing in Microbial Identification Market Growth?

Numerous pathogenic microorganisms, such as parasites, viruses, or fungi cause infectious diseases that can spread from one person to another directly or indirectly.  Some common examples of these infections are tuberculosis, AIDS, malaria, measles, and hepatitis.

The World Health Organization reported that in 2014, around 9 million people were affected with tuberculosis and 1.5 million died because of the disease across the globe. Similarly, in the same year, 114,900 people lost their lives to measles, and every year, more than 780,000 and 500,000 people die due to complications associated with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, respectively. Infectious diseases are one of the most common causes of global deaths and pose a huge burden on healthcare resources and result in high healthcare expenditure. Therefore, for the timely identification of the causative organism and proposal of a treatment plan, the need for microbial identification is becoming dire.

Microbial identification requires various products, such as consumables, services, and instruments & software. In the coming years, the highest demand is expected to be generated for consumables, which majorly include reagents and kits and plates and media. As microbial identification most commonly relies on phenotypic methods, such as observing changes in culture and media, consumables, such as pipettes, petri dishes, covers, tubes, centrifuge tubes media, vials, reagents, and slides, are most commonly used in laboratories for establishing the quality of the reagents being used for experiments. This is expected to contribute to the microbial identification market growth immensely, with a P&S Intelligence study predicting the CAGR to be 6.0% in the coming years.

In today’s times, concerns regarding food safety and quality is growing. Due to the unhealthy and polluted environment, an increased presence of toxins, pathogens, and chemicals is being observed in food products. As per the University of Rhode Island Department of Food Safety Education, around 33 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses each year in North America. In order to establish the safety of food products, one of the most reliable methods is using microbiological techniques for microbial identification. Many food safety regulatory authorities and agencies deploy these techniques as standard operating procedures, which makes microbial identification imperative.
