by The antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,751.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing determines which antibiotics are able to effectively cure microbial infections such as bacteria, fungi, viruses etc. This testing helps in selecting the most appropriate antimicrobial treatment for patients suffering from infectious diseases. It is essential for treatment and control of infectious diseases.
Market key trends:
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is one of the key factors driving the growth of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market. As per recent estimates, around 450 million people are suffering from bacterial infections worldwide every year. According to the World Health Organization, infectious diseases account for approximately 26% of global deaths each year. Growing antimicrobial resistance due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics is raising concerns regarding ineffective treatment of infectious diseases and causing economic burden on healthcare systems. This has necessitated the need for rapid and accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing to determine effective antibiotic treatment. Technological advancements in susceptibility testing such as automation and development of rapid microbiology tests are also fueling the market growth.
