Market Analysis and Size                              

According to World Health Organization (WHO), every day more than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired worldwide, with the majority of these infections being asymptomatic. Unprotected sexual contact is the most common way for sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) to spread. Some STIs can also be transferred by infected blood or blood products during pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. STIs have a significant impact on one's health. They can cause catastrophic effects if left untreated, including neurological and cardiovascular disorders, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirths, and an increased chance of contracting the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). They're also linked to social stigma, domestic violence, and poor quality of life.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread through sexual interaction. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause sexually transmitted disorders can be passed from one person to another by blood, sperm, vaginal, and other physiological fluids. Nonsexual transmission of these infections is possible, for instance, from mothers to their infants during pregnancy or childbirth, or by blood transfusions or sharing needles. Three bacterial STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis) and one parasitic STI (trichomoniasis) are all treatable with single-dose antibiotic regimens.
