Global Corona Test Kit Market all Set to Grow Exponentially during the Forecast Period 2020 to 2027

As per the report published by Fior Markets, the global corona test kit market is expected to grow from USD xx billion in 2019 and to reach USD xx billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2020-2027.

The corona test kit market is growing at the skyrocketing growth rate with the recent outbreak of global pandemic Covid-19. As the coronavirus cases expanding rapidly all over the world, public health agencies, government, and hospitals are demanding more and more corona testing kits. As of March 2020, total coronavirus infected cases top 500,000 and death toll at 23,004, across the globe. Thus, to detect the infected people and to avoid further infections to a healthy person, the demand for corona test kits increasing rapidly. However, shortage of corona test kits is making the hurdle to detect the infected people, which is a crucial step for slowing the spread of coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested every country to conduct aggressive coronavirus testing. In February 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) supplies corona testing kits to 57 countries. However, with the rapid increasing outbreak, every country is focusing on developing their own test kits for Covid-19.

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a single-stranded RNA coronavirus, which have shown similarities to SARS-CoV and other bat coronaviruses. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory infections and primarily occur through close contacts with an infected person via respiratory droplets generated by sneezing and coughing. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Covid-19 as a global pandemic, and it has spread in more than 199 countries and territories around the world. Therefore, effective detection of coronavirus has become extremely critical to slow down the spread. Currently, the corona test kits available in the market based on the two types–molecular test and serology tests and conducted through only specialized labs that are certified to do so. For the testing, the sample is taken from nose and throat swab, blood sample, sputum test, and nasal aspirate. Currently, the corona test kits are based on techniques such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, IgG and IgM ELISA test, and microneutralization assays.

The global corona test kits market is growing at a rapid growth rate, owing to the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus. The number of patients in the hospitals is increasing rapidly, and due to these countries are trying to get access to the test kit to inspect each and every suspected person to slow the spread of the virus. In addition to this, increasing demand for corona test kits in hospitals to diagnose the patients with symptoms, further driving the growth of the market. Thus, with the growing cases of Covid-19, the corona testing kits are projected to sell rapidly in the coming years. However, the time required for results is more than 24 hours, which is a bit long, may limit the growth of the market. In addition to this, the current shortage of corona test kits also limits the growth of the market.

Key players operating in the global corona test kit market include Qiagen, Roche, Seegene, Solgent, Curetis, Kurabo, Mologic, Thermo Fischer, Mylab, Abbot, Getein Biotech, Biomaxima, CTK Biotech, and Epitope Diagnostics, Inc. among others. The rapid outbreak of coronavirus has led to the immediate development of corona test kits. Thus, many pharmaceutical companies and research organizations are working on the production of testing kits at a larger scale to meet the world demand. In addition to this, companies are also working on the overall test duration.

  • For instance, March 2020, Abbott Laboratories announced the launch of small and portable corona test kit which can tell if someone is infected in just 5 minutes, and can be used in almost any health-care setting. The company is planning to supply 50,000 tests a day starting 1 April 2020, to detect the coronavirus.
  • In March 2020, Roche Diagnostics announce that it has begun deploying its newly authorized cobas coronavirus diagnostic to hospitals and reference laboratories. The company plans to ship an additional 400,000 test kits per week to U.S. test sites, including from its global distribution centre in Indianapolis, Indiana.
  • In March 2020, Seegene, the South Korean company, announced that Los Angeles government of U.S. has purchases 20,000 corona test kits from Seegene Technologies.
  • In March 2020, Mylab, the Indian Scientific company announced that had become the first company in the country to receive approval for its coronavirus (Covid-19) diagnostic test kits, called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests.
