The disease disproportionally affects the poor, vulnerable, undernourished, and marginalized people worldwide. Evidence from various sources such as World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) shows that countries such as India and Indonesia in Asia Pacific are highly populated with patients suffering from TB. Thus, the government bodies in these countries are undertaking and adopting certain schemes and initiatives in containing the disease. For instance, the Indian National Strategic Plan (NSP) that aims for TB elimination has been established from 2017 to 2025; it institutes several patient support groups and protection measures along with the provision of free TB diagnostic tests and treatment for Indians. Furthermore, in March 2018, the Government of India, in association with the Directorate of General Health Services, introduced a new scheme known as “Nikshay Poshak Yojna” that included the provision of nutritional support for patients suffering with TB in India. Similarly, another scheme known as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has been introduced for patients suffering from TB. This policy involves direct transfer of cash to the victim’s account intended for TB diagnostic tests, treatments, and medication costs.
Furthermore, western countries such as the US, the UK, and Canada are giving significant importance in combating TB by undertaking various funding programs. The US government is the largest donor of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The US funding for global TB efforts was reported to be US$ 321 million in 2020. Thus, the financial and medical assistance from the governments for fighting the disease and promoting the diagnosis of TB is providing a lucrative scenario for the growth of the market.
Based on test, the latent TB detection market was segmented into Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and Interferon Gamma Released Assay (IGRA). In 2019, the Interferon Gamma Released Assay (IGRA) segment accounted for the highest share in the market and is likely to retain its dominant share. Also, the similar segment is expected to witness fastest growth in the market owing to the accuracy obtained through these tests. The IGRA test has numerous advantages over the TST of not needing the patient to return for test result evaluation. Current IGRAs do not cross-react with most non-TB mycobacteria, including Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) strains.
