Global Influenza Diagnostics Market Research and Forecast 2018-2023

Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that the influenza virus causes leading to the infection of nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can result into mild to severe illness and sometimes can lead to death. Three types of influenza virus affect people that includes: type A, type B, and type C. Influenza is spread via infectious respiratory secretions that is caused by the formation of aerosol due to direct contact with an infected person. The influenza can cause seasonal epidemics along with high levels of mortality and morbidity. A number of factors are responsible for the overall growth of the global influenza diagnostics market. Increasing prevalence of influenza and related chronic disease along with the rising geriatric population base is one of the major factors for the growth of the market. However, increasing price of diagnostic kits and reagents hinder the growth of the market. Moreover, there is a huge opportunity of the global influenza diagnostic market in the near future due to enormous funding and investment, and support provided by the government for influenza diagnostics. For an instance, San Diego-based Cue Health was awarded up to $30 million by the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The funding was provided for enhancing the development and regulatory validation of over-the-counter and professional-use influenza and multiplex respiratory pathogen diagnostic cartridges for health monitoring system of the company.
