The global antibiotic susceptibility testing market is subject to changes as per the macro and industrial dynamics associated with the drug and device regulations, product licensing, and product distribution.

Key developments in the market include the development of novel MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the rapid identification of disease pathogens or causative bacterial organisms.

H1-2022 outlook period in comparison to H1-2022 projected period showed a negative growth in terms of Basis Point Share by 50 BPS. However, In H1-2022, the market growth rate of antibiotic susceptibility testing is expected to fall by 98 basis point share (BPS), as per FMI analysis.

The drop in the BPS values is associated with the complicated pre-analytical process associated with antibiotic susceptibility testing thus presenting a high procedural cost. Moreover, the necessity for a comparatively vast quantity of viable organisms, and a limited database spectrum for micro-organisms has presented a hurdle in the growth of the market, thus resulting in the reduced BPS values.

However, the expected introduction of microfluidics and microdroplets for antibiotic susceptibility testing will present a positive growth outlook for the market over the forecasted years.

Demand Analysis Of Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing From 2013 to 2021 Vs Future Outlook 2022 to 2028

Increasing Awareness Initiatives about Antibiotic Resistance to Boost Demand for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing

From 2013 to 2021, the global antibiotic susceptibility testing market progressed at a CAGR of around 5.5%.

Antibiotic susceptibility testing is performed as a routine to ensure the efficient use of antibiotics. It determines the lowest concentrations of new or existing antimicrobial agents and inhibits consistent and visible growth of the bacterium that is being investigated, under specific test conditions.

Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Market

It is the detection of possible drug resistance in some of the most common pathogens and the discovery of susceptibility of the drugs of choice for particular infections.

Constant advancements in instruments used for antibiotic susceptibility testing have led to gaining FDA clearance for these systems.

Modifications in antibiotic susceptibility testing instruments include improvements in the computer software for either providing an extended incubation period for difficult organism-drug combinations or, by using expert software to edit susceptibility test results for prevention of unwanted results from being noted.

The global antibiotic susceptibility testing market is anticipated to expand at a 5.2% CAGR from 2022 to 2028.
