Rapid Plasma Reagin Test Market Analysis
The market for the rapid plasma reagin test is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on market growth, as syphilis diagnoses decreased during the early stages of the pandemic. However, there was an increase in syphilis infections during the post-pandemic market scenario, which drove the demand for the rapid plasma reagin test. This rise in syphilis is expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the post-pandemic period.
- The rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test is a serological test used to screen for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. The market for the rapid plasma reagin test is being driven by an increasing prevalence of syphilis and increased awareness of sexually transmitted diseases.
- According to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in July 2021, the global pooled prevalence of syphilis among homosexuals was 7.5%, and globally, there were an estimated 7 million new syphilis infections in 2021. The high rate of syphilis prevalence is expected to drive the demand for rapid plasma reagin tests, thereby contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the prevalence of syphilis infections among pregnant women is expected to drive the growth of the market owing to the growing demand for early diagnosis to obtain proper treatment.
- Several initiatives are being taken regarding STD diagnostics, further supporting the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2021, Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), MedAccess, and SD Biosensor partnered to develop dual Syphilis rapid diagnostics tests for a cost under USD 1, which is recommended by the WHO. Such initiatives are augmenting the demand for rapid tests for the rapid plasma reagin test, which is expected to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period. However, the lack of adoption of disease screening in developing countries is expected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Rapid Plasma Reagin Test Market Trends
The Rapid Plasma Reagin Test Kits Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period
- The rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test kits are expected to hold a significant share in the market over the forecast period due to their widespread usage for qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of reagin antibodies in serum or plasma from individuals with syphilis. The segment is anticipated to exhibit a similar trend over the forecast period because of the high prevalence of syphilis among the global population and the growing availability of test kits.
- According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data published in July 2022, there were 52,354 reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis in the United States in 2021. The same source also reported 2,677 cases of congenital syphilis in the United States in 2021. Additionally, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2021 data, there are 988,000 new maternal syphilis infections worldwide each year. The high incidence of syphilis among the global population is expected to drive the demand for RPR test kits, thereby contributing to the growth of the studied segment.
- As part of antenatal care, RPR tests can be utilized as the initial test for pregnant women. The increasing incidence of syphilis and technological advancements in RPR test kits are the key driving factors in the RPR test kits segment.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market During the Forecast Period
- North America is anticipated to dominate the global rapid plasma reagin test market owing to the rising incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, including syphilis, and the growing awareness regarding the morbidity of such diseases in this region. For example, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data in 2022, there were 50,592 cases of early non-primary and non-secondary syphilis in the United States in 2021. As per the same source, the rate of primary and secondary syphilis per 100,000 in the United States was 15.8 in 2021.
- The high expenditure on research and development (R&D) by government organizations and pharmaceutical companies for early diagnosis and treatment is among the primary factors propelling the regional market. For instance, as per the National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS), investments for sexually transmitted infection research in the United States in 2021 amounted to USD 404 million. Similarly, the increase in syphilis cases in Canada is projected to drive the demand for rapid plasma reagin tests, thereby contributing to the market's growth over the forecast period. For example, according to data from the Public Health Agency of Canada published in November 2021, the national rate of infectious syphilis increased from 24 per 100,000 population and rose by 124% compared to the previous years. Such a significant increase in syphilis infections is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
- Likewise, the growth of the rapid plasma reagin test market is attributed to the incidence of syphilis among the Mexican population. For instance, as per the BMC article published in January 2021, the incidence of syphilis increased by an average of 0.336 cases per 100,000 per year and was higher among women aged 15-19 years in Mexico. Such a rise in the incidence of syphilis infections is expected to contribute to the market growth in this country.
- Additionally, the development of various advanced products in this region is also expected to drive the market's growth. For instance, in March 2022, MedMira Inc launched the clinical trials of its product Reveal TP in Canada. Reveal TP is a point-of-care diagnostic for syphilis testing. Furthermore, technological advancements and the launch of new products, high healthcare spending, and the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure are also fueling the overall regional market's growth to a large extent.
