The outbreak of coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) had a positive impact on the global Legionella Testing Products market. The COVID-19 outbreak increases the demand of Legionella testing products, as the Legionella kits are used to detect Legionella pathogen in hospitalized patients, affected by pneumonia. The Legionella species infection resulted in pneumonia among patients in the pandemic, which in turn increases the usage of legionella kits, bottles for detection of pathogen in the pandemic. Increase in cases of infection acquired by Legionella species, increases the usage of Legionella kits and bottles in the pandemic. Thus, the rise in usage of Legionella testing products in hospitals and water testing positively impacted the growth of market.

Moreover, the lockdown restriction across globe, resulted in shortage of test kits, restriction in transportation, and lack of availability of resources affected the diagnostic testing of Legionella species. The increase in government restriction across globe led to shortage of Legionella kits and lack of resources. This factor had a negative impact on the growth of market.

As per growth market reports industry analyst Anuradha More & Sanket Lunawat, the regulatory farmwork for legionella testing is expected to drive the growth of the market. Government and regulatory bodies around the globe have mandated strict regulations for legionella testing in healthcare facilities, hospitality industry, and public buildings.

Legionella pneumonia is a relatively uncommon cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Growing awareness pertaining to the risk of legionella-borne diseases from water bodies is a key factor that is driving the legionella testing product market. Increasing demand for rapid diagnostic methods is anticipated to propel the legionella testing products market during the forecast period.
