Viral Transport Media Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising covid cases
In the forecast period of 2022–2029, a number of factors including an increase in the number of new, small-scale manufacturers that expand business operations, an increase in the number of SARS Covid19 cases around the world, and an increase in the number of government initiatives adopted to promote the use of testing kits will likely contribute to the growth of the viral transport media market.
- Rise in prevalence of funds from various organisations
On the other hand, the prevalence of funds from various organisations together with the decline in the use of swabs and other forms of transport media will further increase opportunities, leading to the expansion of the market for viral transport media during the period covered by the forecast.
- Increasing infectious diseases
The continual need for viral transport medium kits is brought on by the rising incidence of infectious diseases. One of the main burdens experienced during the pandemic period is viral infections. Viral transport media kits have expanded as viral infectious illnesses have become more common. Covivirus-19, the influenza virus, enterovirus D68, herpes, varicella, RSV, and others are examples of viral infectious illnesses.
Opportunities
- Rising ageing population
The demand for various diagnostic tests involving VTM kits has accelerated due to the rapid increase in the ageing population, rise in the number of persons undergoing various elective procedures, and other considerations. The number of procedures performed to address these disorders is fast expanding along with the frequency of various acute and chronic ailments worldwide.
Restraints/Challenges
Clinical as well as technical issues related to swabs collection will hamper the growth of the viral transport media market in the above mentioned forecast period.
