The influenza virus is the infectious disease that causes influenza, also referred to as "the flu." Flu is detected and identified using a variety of traditional and molecular diagnostic tools. Modern technology is able to diagnose influenza quite precisely and effectively.
For instance, the real-time molecular test known as the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) enables the detection of influenza genetic information.
Furthermore, due of its fast results and simple sample collection, rapid influenza diagnostics testing (RIDT) has evolved into an effective method for identification.
Flu prevalence is predicted to rise, early detection with particular diagnostic tests is becoming more popular, CLIA-waived POC molecular influenza assays are being produced, and the priority is shifting from controlled laboratories to distributed point-of-care testing has boosted the growth of the global influenza diagnostics market.
The global market is thus likely to show high growth over the coming years at a CAGR of 6.1% and reach a global market size of US$ 3.08 Bn by 2033.
“New Advancements in Diagnostic Tests for Influenza Infection”
Quick reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), viral cultures, fluorescence assays, serological tests, antigen testing, and rapid molecular assays are some of the diagnostic tools available for influenza. However, due to their capacity to identify influenza viruses with low to medium sensitivity and a high specificity within 15 minutes, commercial rapid flu diagnostic tests are the most widely used approach for influenza detection.
Molecular diagnostic assays are a brand-new class of highly sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic tests for influenza that have emerged in recent years. The capacity to detect respiratory viruses has significantly improved thanks to the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nucleic detection techniques.
The major goal of molecular tests for flu is to find specific known viruses utilizing nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT). NATs are preferable to other available diagnostic equipment in a variety of ways. They do not rely on the life of the intended bacterium and can produce results in a therapeutically appropriate amount of time. They may be able to identify low amounts of all known influenza viruses in clinical specimens.
Clinical research funding and expenditures in this field help to increase the scope of the projects that are done as well as the number of people engaged. Governments, the private sector, and businesses all provide money for research and development. For instance –
“Lack of Skilled Labour & High Testing Costs”
Despite the fact that molecular diagnostic methods have become an essential component of research in the life sciences sector, a shortage of knowledgeable people and competent operators is expected to limit market growth. With the advent of technological and procedural advancements in biotechnology, the necessity for qualified professionals to perform molecular tests for disease diagnosis has become critical.
The market for influenza diagnostics, however, is constrained by the high price of molecular diagnostic procedures, reagents, and equipment. For instance, laboratories in developing nations like India and China cannot afford the expense of nucleic acid amplification and RT-PCR for the diagnosis of the influenza virus.
Commercial rapid flu tests are the most extensively used assays for influenza detection due to their speedy detection times. However, rapid diagnostic approaches for influenza are unable to identify influenza A viral subtypes. The RT-PCR and viral culture assays require several specimen types. Furthermore, when influenza activity is high, RIDT results are commonly misinterpreted as negative.
To validate negative test results, an expensive and time-consuming diagnostic tool, such as RT-PCR, viral culture, or others, is required. Furthermore, even when there is little flu activity, false positive results might occur.
RT-PCR also has technical concerns such as duplicated structures, reversed repeats, and a higher rate of sequence error. This increases the probability of false-positive pathogen detection results. Because DNA and RNA replication is so delicate and prone to contamination, false positive results are common.
Why is the U.S. Market Booming?
“Growing Influenza Have Started Adopting New Diagnostic Techniques”
The U.S. accounted for around 89.6% market share in the North America influenza diagnostics market in 2022.
The rising prevalence of influenza is expected to enhance the adoption of diagnostic kits in the country. The growing demand for more efficient medical procedures may result in new influenza diagnostic options. For example, the CDC estimated that there were between 4,700,000 and 7,900,000 flu cases reported in the United States between October 1, 2021 and April 16, 2022. Flu is the most commonly diagnosed condition in the U. S., and this aspect is expected to propel the market.
Another advantage to having well-known industrial firms in the country, such as Abbott and Quidel Corporation, is their engagement in the development and marketing of new products, which helps the U.S. market expand.
