The Europe molecular diagnostics market size was valued at USD 2.91 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 6.32 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of diabetes, chronic diseases, cardiovascular, and other uncommunicable diseases.
Molecular diagnostics refers to the techniques in which biological markers are analyzed and applied for diagnostic and treatment purposes of infectious diseases as well as chronic illness. Scientific testing by applying molecular biology helps to diagnose & monitor disorders, mitigate risk, identify patients-based treatments along with agricultural biosecurity to monitor crop disease and take corrective measures.
As per the Health Protection Report 2019, more than 447,694 new sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnoses were reported in England. Out of these, Chlamydia cases constituted nearly 218,095, which was around 49% of all new STI diagnoses, gonorrhea cases were 56,259 representing around 13%, first episode genital warts were 57,318 cases representing around 13%, and genital herpes were 33,867 around 8%.
The COVID-19 outbreak, as an infectious disease, which was started in Wuhan (China) in December 2019 has become global pandemic in matter of few weeks. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the molecular diagnostics market due to the usage of molecular diagnostic techniques for novel corona virus testing. The number of tests and sales of reagents got affected due to the lockdowns caused by the pandemic globally.
However, surge in demand for diagnostic kits for COVID-19 testing across the globe due to strict regulations such as mandatory use of testing for travelers using commercial flights present a key aspect for the market development.
Regulatory authorities have formulated policies to speed up approval of diagnostic products in both developing and developed countries. Several competitors in the healthcare industry have invested a massive funding to develop rapid tests for the virus as it becomes a need of the hour, which is expected to lower the negative impact of the pandemic on their operational capabilities and sustain their revenues.
