Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Analysis
The antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period (2022-2027).
Globally, COVID-19 has a significant and unprecedented impact on the supply of healthcare and public health across several nations. As per the article published in 2021 under the title 'Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of respiratory Gram-negative bacterial isolates from COVID-19 patients in Switzerland', the development of bacterial superinfections in ventilated COVID-19 patients impacted by high levels of antimicrobial resistance, which in some situations necessitate continued modification of antibiotic therapy. Furthermore, the article published in 2021 under the heading 'Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the surveillance, prevention, and control of antimicrobial resistance: a global survey' stated that health systems have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19's impacts on antimicrobial resistance surveillance, prevention, and control were investigated by the World Health Organization (WHO) Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance and Quality Assessment Collaborating Centers Network. Hence due to the aforementioned factors, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the market studied.
The major factors attributing to the growth of the market are the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms and growing awareness of precision medicine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections happen in the United States every year. The increasing number of multidrug-resistant diseases increases the need for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The rising awareness programs and initiatives for personalized medicine have a positive effect on the growth of the market and the other factor which is playing a pivotal role in taking the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market to the next level is increasing the use of the tests by the pharmaceutical companies. For instance, WHO celebrates World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) from 18-24 November every year. The 2021 theme was Spread Awareness, Stop Resistance, which called on One Health stakeholders, policymakers, health care providers, and the public to be Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness champions.
Hence as per the information mentioned above, the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period. However, stringent regulatory government policies and the challenges associated with antimicrobial susceptibility testing are expected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market according to our research experts:
Antibacterial segments dominates the global Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market
Antibacterial susceptibility testing is used to ascertain the specific drugs which affect the bacteria. These tests can guide the physician in drug preference and dosage for difficult-to-treat infections.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2020 report, isoniazid resistance at initial diagnosis was reported for 456 cases in the United States, including 4.8% of cases among U.S.-born persons and 9.5% of cases among non-U.S.-born persons in 2020. Furthermore, government initiatives and product awareness programs boost market growth. For instance, the 2021 Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (CARSS) report presents an integrated view of available national-level data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU) generated by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and its partners from human populations and animal populations.
Thus, considering the above-mentioned facts, the antibacterial segment is anticipated to face a growth over the forecast period.
North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall antimicrobial susceptibility testing market, throughout the forecast period. This is due to factors such as the rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections and increased use of antibiotics in the studies region. For instance, as per 'COVID-19: U.S. Impact on Antimicrobial Resistance, Special Report 2022', azithromycin use was 150% higher in April 2020 and 82% higher in December 2020 in Nursing Homes. Azithromycin prescribing remained elevated through October 2020.
Government funding and initiatives for the awareness and support for antimicrobial resistance boost the market growth. For instance, according to the Antibiotic Resistance Threats United States report, in 2020 funding through CDC's AR Solutions Initiative supports all 50 state health departments, several local health departments, and Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. CDC also collaborates with other federal agencies, state and local health departments, patients, public health partners, and the private sector to address this threat. CDC invested in more than 330 innovative antimicrobial resistance projects in more than 30 countries to slow the spread of resistance globally till 2020. Through these investments and partnerships, CDC is transforming how the nation and world combat and slow antimicrobial resistance at all levels. With these investments, CDC implemented the AR Solutions Initiative to work toward meeting the national goals. This appropriation has increased to more than USD 200 million as of the fiscal year 2021. Furthermore, The WHO HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) report 2021 shows substantial progress in the implementation of HIVDR surveillance. Among adults failing non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor(NNRTI) first-line antiretroviral therapy(ART), the levels of resistance to these drugs ranged from 50% to 97%. The high levels of HIVDR among individuals with treatment failure, emphasize the need to scale up viral load testing and enhanced adherence counseling and promptly switch individuals with treatment failure.
Furthermore, well-established awareness programs for precision medicine and the use of antimicrobial testing, beneficial government initiatives, and an increase in the number of research partnerships are some of the drivers expected to increase the market growth. For instance, in 2020 the White House released the second United States National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria for 2020-2025 with coordinated, strategic actions to improve the health and well-being of all Americans.
As per the factors mentioned above, North America is expected to face growth over the forecast period.
