The global rapid microbiology testing market is expected to USD 5.09 billion by 2023 from USD 3.45 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 8.1%. Growth in the rapid microbiology testing market can be attributed to factors such as the rising prevalence of infectious diseases; ongoing technological advancements; increasing food safety concerns; increased funding, research grants, and public-private investments; and increasing awareness about rapid microbiology testing.

This report broadly segments the rapid microbiology testing market into products, methods, applications, end users, and regions.

Based on product, the global rapid microbiology testing market is segmented into instruments, reagents & kits, and consumables. In 2018, the instruments segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market owing to factors such as the significant adoption of modern laboratory instruments in the research and academic sectors (coupled with growing industry-academia collaborations for genomic research) and the ongoing trend of laboratory automation among clinical laboratories.

Based on method, the global rapid microbiology testing market is divided into five segments growth-based, viability-based, cellular component-based, nucleic acid-based, and other testing methods. The growth-based rapid microbiology testing segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2018. The large share of this segment can be attributed to factors such as the ease of processing (this method uses conventional liquid or agar media), the limited requirement of skilled professionals, and supportive government regulations.

On the basis of application, the rapid microbiology testing market is segmented into clinical disease diagnosis, food & beverage testing, pharmaceutical & biological drug testing, cosmetics and personal care products testing, environmental applications, research applications, and other applications. The clinical disease diagnosis application segment is expected to dominate the rapid microbiology testing market during the forecast period. This can primarily be attributed to the increasing use of rapid microbiology testing for the diagnosis of infectious diseases in humans; rising emphasis on effective and early disease diagnosis across major markets; and the introduction of advanced, accurate, and rapid methods for faster clinical diagnosis.

The rapid microbiology testing market, by end user, is segmented into diagnostic laboratories & hospitals, food & beverage companies, pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and other end users. In 2018, the diagnostic laboratories & hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the rapid microbiology testing market. Some of the key factors driving the growth of this segment are the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, improving healthcare expenditure, and technological advancements in rapid microbial testing.

The report covers the rapid microbiology testing market across four key geographies, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America is expected to dominate the global rapid microbiology testing market in 2018. Technological advancements in the field of rapid microbial testing, the rising incidence of infectious diseases, and growing food safety concerns are driving the growth of the rapid microbiology testing market in North America. Additionally, easy accessibility and high adoption of advanced diagnostic technologies owing to the significant per capita annual healthcare expenditure by the US and Canadian governments are increasing the adoption of rapid microbiology testing in this region. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR due to the increasing healthcare expenditure and growing initiatives to promote the use of advanced rapid microbiology testing technologies in Asia Pacific countries.

However, reimbursement concerns and the high cost of rapid microbiology testing products are the major factors restricting market growth.

As of 2017, some of the major players operating in this market include bioMérieux SA (France), Abbott Laboratories Inc. (US), Danaher Corporation (US), and Becton, Dickinson and Company (US).
