Virology Specimen Collection Market - Future Growth, Comprehensive Analysis & Key Players

· Biotechnology

The Growth in Virology Specimen Collection Market is mainly driven by the rising prevalence of viral diseases, the increasing prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer, and the growing number of blood donations.

Rising prevalence of viral diseases and emergence of newer pathogens:

The Zika virus and Babesia outbreaks, alongside announcements for their inclusion in virology specimen collection tests, indicate the need for innovation in virology specimen collection technologies, consumables, and instruments. Other countries have also undertaken initiatives to check for new and emerging diseases. For example, the prevalence of malaria in African regions and the possibility of mosquito-borne transfer of Zika has resulted in mandates for Zika virus screening in the region.
