The Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests Market Size is expected to grow from US$ 961.23 million in 2022 to US$ 2027.42 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period.
Market Insights and Analyst View:
Rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) is used to detect influenza virus by detecting the presence of viral antigens in a patient’s respiratory secretions, such as nasal swabs, throat swabs, and others. Sometimes, these are also used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as polymerase chain reaction, which are more accurate than RIDT and tables time in producing results. The constant evolution of the influenza virus has increased the prevalence of influenza among large populations. The advancement in existing technology of rapid test kits is also evolving to enhance the accuracy and reduce the false negative test. Moreover, high risk of transmission and low vaccination rates in developing and underdeveloped economies are also expected to drive the rapid influenza diagnostic test market in near future.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Influenza, commonly known as flu, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza, which varies from year to year. It can be affected by various factors such as climate, population density and vaccination rates. In recent years the prevalence of influenza has increased globally. As per the article published in Forbes Health, ~9 million influenza cases were reported during 2021-2022 and caused 100,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths in the US. Additionally, influenza virus is constantly evolving through a process known as antigenic drift which allows then to evade the immune system and cause new outbreaks. This makes the vaccinated population susceptible to the new virus strains.
Influenza can have a high risk of transmission through the cough and sneeze of an infected person, and it can survive up to 48 hours, increasing the transmission rate and contributing to the prevalence of influenza. Moreover, low vaccination rates in developing and underdeveloped economies owing to the lack of access, hesitancy, and misinformation led to the increasing prevalence of influenza. Therefore, high risk of transmission and low vaccination rates contribute to the increasing prevalence of influenza, which drives the growth of RIDT market.
However, the increasing use of molecular diagnostic tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are more sensitive, accurate, and reliable compared to RIDT. Molecular diagnostic tests can detect the range of influenza viruses with faster results. The increased risk of false negative results with RIDT can also delay the diagnosis and treatment, worsening the overall patient condition. Moreover, lack of standardization and regulation of RIDT can lead to the variation in test results, making it difficult for healthcare providers to make appropriate choice for their patients.
Furthermore, high cost of RIDT compared to conventional laboratory-based test can affect the demand in developing and underdeveloped economies, making it unaffordable. Therefore, high cost, lack of standard regulations, increase in false negative results, and rising inclination towards molecular diagnostics are expected to hamper the growth of the RIDT market.
