Market Definition
Molecular diagnostics is known as the process of identifying a disease by studying molecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA in a tissue or fluid. These molecular diagnostics services are used as a strategy to research, analyze, and diagnose certain molecules with the help of technologies in the laboratory. These are specially used for the measurement of a specific biomarker in the fluids, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based detection of bacterial genes, and molecular responses of any certain infection. These services are used to provide more efficient testing and diagnostics.
Molecular diagnostic services enable researchers and technicians to efficiently and effectively produce output in less time, which drives the Asia-Pacific molecular diagnostics services market. Furthermore, with the potential for clinical practice, these services are used to give additional support to boost efficiency in molecular diagnosis and the presence of major market players also contributes to the market growth.
Middle East and Africa Molecular Diagnostics Services Market Dynamics
Drivers
-
Rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases
Chronic and infectious diseases are currently the major cause of death among adults in almost all countries. The prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is increasing, as a result of which people are more dependent on diagnostic labs and centers for disease diagnosis. The rising prevalence has increased the demand for molecular diagnostics services to provide accurate diagnoses, therapies, and test results within less time. Health-damaging behaviors- particularly tobacco use, lack of physical activity, poor eating habits, and excessive alcohol use are major contributors to the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases. These diseases can be diagnosed by several techniques such as immunoassay, molecular techniques, PCR, and gene manipulation techniques among others. Hence, the demand for molecular diagnostic services is increasing to fulfill the patient’s demand for faster diagnosis and treatment.
The occurrence of chronic and infectious diseases is high and the number of molecular tests has also increased for diagnosis and treatment, the demand for products and services will rise eventually. Hence, the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is driving market growth across the globe.
-
Increasing demand for testing, therapies, and faster diagnostics
The demand for high-priced specialist therapies is more in the present scenario. The awareness among consumers about faster diagnostics is rising and the adoption of analyzer software for molecular diagnostics is increasing at a higher rate. Molecular diagnostics render accurate and effective results and have indispensable applications in disease diagnostics. People are preferring personalized medications that rely on identifying the genetic, epigenomic, and clinical information of the individual.
Furthermore, in recent years patients are shifting to personalized care and treatment and the demand for molecular testing, therapies, and faster diagnostics is increasing which may act as a driving factor for market growth across the globe.
-
Growing funding in the molecular diagnostics segment
Government initiatives, schemes, and funding activities to support and promote innovation and development have increased, as a result, the molecular diagnostics segment is growing rapidly. This segment is an integral part of disease control, hence the funding is rising and scientists are more focused on developing new ideas for disease control and healthy survival. Again chronic disease like cancer has become dominant all over the world and the demand for specialized treatment and the fastest diagnosis is rising.
As the government and public funding are rising to support the molecular diagnostic segment for better innovations and alternatives for faster diagnosis, the market is boosting to a higher extent. Considering the above instances, it can be predicted that growing funding in the molecular diagnostics segment is going to drive the market in near future.
Opportunity
-
Rising government and private collaborations
The time-consuming tasks and ineffective applications for several things and management are a major burden for administrative staff and reach slow or little to the end users. Thus, the collaboration between public and private sector organizations is essential for addressing complex challenges because a single organization is less effective to drive the level of change and outcomes that are sometimes required. The collaborations will act as a rising opportunity for both the governmental and private sectors.
The rising government and private collaborations are also beneficial for further economic development and growth of the diagnostic sector. In addition, the increase in disposable income of the population is a favorable factor as this will help to create lucrative opportunities for market growth.
Restraint/Challenge
- Lack of skilled professionals
By providing required training and making professionals skillful, more precise and accurate results can be obtained from various molecular diagnostics services. Standardization and other essential criteria need to be fulfilled in molecular diagnostics to overcome this challenge.
The lack or shortage of skilled expertise would challenge the pace of recovery and growth in one place. Often, unemployed people in one place have skills that are in short supply elsewhere. Moreover, rapid technological advancement in this field also leads to a lack of expertise.
There is a lack of training for molecular pathologists and other clinicians on how to run and perform molecular diagnostics tests and instruments. It is important that both trainee and consultant clinicians/pathologists have access to educational courses in molecular diagnostics and that the time and funding are required to provide basic study materials. Improvements in the implementation of molecular diagnostics knowledge and greater access to high-quality training opportunities are required. The lack of skilled professionals will lead to inefficient diagnostic results and slow observation in rapid molecular diagnostic tests.
The lack of skilled professionals causes inefficiency in operating specific types of equipment or machinery in laboratories which may lead to a costly safety hazard and directly lead to lower productivity and profitability. Hence, this will not only affect the quality of work but also lead to financial constraints. Thus, this will pose one of the major challenges to market growth.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Middle East and Africa Molecular Diagnostics Services Market
The post-COVID-19 has positively affected the market. A large number of the population were affected by this pandemic and the number of diagnostics tests had increased worldwide. Mostly, the PCR-based COVID-19 diagnosis increased. Thus, COVID-19 affected the market positively.
Recent Development
- In October 2022, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd introduced its next-generation portfolio of SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test (“2.0”) under CE Mark for self-test and professional use. This helped the company to provide better services to consumers through such innovations in the organization.
