High awareness levels regarding the disease transmission, diagnosis, and effective management of microbial infections have been observed in North America. In addition, government initiatives to support product development for virology specimen collection is influencing market growth.
In addition, large share of North America in this market can be attributed to the increasing adoption of NAT (due to the high prevalence of TTIs). Furthermore, technological developments including portable diagnostics is favoring the growth of the market.
Growing income levels, greater health awareness, and the rising incidence of lifestyle diseases is contributing to the growth of virology specimen collection market. Currently, ELISA is widely used in India, with NAT registering relatively low penetration.
Emerging markets such as India, the Middle East, and Africa offer promising opportunities for players in the virology specimen collection industry due to their increasing disposable incomes and improving healthcare infrastructure.
NAT is still not mandatory in India, thus, states in India are using NAT in ID-NAT format. For Instance, AIIMS, PGI Chandigarh, CMC Vellore, Medanta-The Medicity, and Narayana Hrudayalaya, are using, and 40 blood banks are using the pooling technique. Similarly, the Indian government is taking initiatives to train doctors, hospitals, and blood banks to use NAT.
On the other hand, regions like US, Canada, most of Europe, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka, UAE, South Africa, Thailand, and China. Almost 100 blood banks are using Nat for virology specimen collection.
"The growth virology specimen collection market has stagnated in recent times because of the diverted focus of public healthcare resources towards the detection of widespread coronavirus infections."
The frequent outbreak of viral diseases in different parts of the world has provided the necessary impetus for adopting successful innovations in the virology specimen collection processes and devices. Market players in the high-income countries are at the forefront of taking advantage of these facilities to dominate the global microbiology specimen collection market.

COVID has had a minor to moderate impact on the virology specimen collection market. As curfews and social isolation become less stringent, demand is likely to rise, resulting in a market deficit. On the other hand, governments around the world are taking steps to raise donations during the anticipated period to meet the unexpected surge in demand for laboratory testing following the lockdown.
Furthermore, the increased frequency of viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2, AIDS, flu, EBOLA, Zika virus, and STDs is fuelling demand for efficient virology specimen collection.
“ELISA is a main source for diagnosis because of its affordability, although enhanced sources are still prohibitively expensive, posing a market problem.”
In the short term, relying on ELISA is a crucial impediment to the growth of NAT's virology specimen collection market. Due to the high expense of sophisticated testing, earlier, less efficient tests, such as first-generation ELISA, are being used more frequently. Flu, Zika virus, STDs, AIDS, and Ebola virus public awareness campaigns are also a crucial component in raising public knowledge and, as a result, affecting the market growth.
While it is encouraging that new diagnostic techniques are becoming accessible to improve clinical treatment in low-resource settings, the cost of each test is a significant barrier to acceptance and long-term use.
Only giant corporations can afford significant capital expenditures and high R&D and manufacturing costs. New entrants will be unable to enter the market due to this.
“The demands a decrease in the cost of microbiology specimen collection products will continue to stifle market expansion until it is met and overcome.”
The epidemics of Zika and Babesia and news that they would be included in virology specimen collecting tests highlight the need for new microbiology specimen collection technologies, consumables, and equipment. Other governments have launched their efforts to monitor new and emerging illnesses.
The prevalence of malaria in African countries, collection, transportation, and storage of samples for viral diagnosis and the risk of Zika virus transmission via mosquitos has resulted in regulations for Zika virus screening across the region. Various medium solutions have been suggested for stabilizing specimens to identify bacteria and viruses, especially during diagnostic investigations.
To strengthen pandemic management, microbiology specimen collection and future preparedness for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, international strategies for the regulation, evaluation, and use of digital technologies such as digital epidemiological surveillance, rapid case identification, interruption of community transmission, transport of viral specimen and future preparedness for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases must be aligned.
A variety of protein supplements have been and continue to be prescribed to improve viral stability. These are generally made up of balanced salt or saline solutions with a buffering ability to keep the pH close to neutral. While some laboratories collect, transport, and store samples for viral diagnosis, commercial preparations are often utilized and generally come with sterile swabs as part of a sample collection kit.
