COVID-19 Impact on the Biomarkers Market
The COVID-19 outbreak has presented a huge challenge to the government bodies, giving rise to the need for screening and testing of fast growing number of patients for the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The escalating cases of the novel coronavirus have limited the supply of diagnostic kits, not only for the virus but for various other diseases worldwide. Diagnostic companies are under intense pressure to develop accurate testing kits, in conjunction with the soaring demand for advanced point-of-care or in-vitro testing capacity by laboratories across countries.
With that said, the rapid surge in researches as well as technological innovations focused on developing biomarker-based clinical diagnostics will ensure a smooth progress for the global market, despite the rapid spread of the pandemic. The mounting number of CROs or Contract Research Organizations should also favor the biomarkers market in the following years.
Top Boosters and Challenges
Escalating cases of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes and cancer in the face of rising prevalence of inactive lifestyle and bad eating habits can be favorable for the biomarkers market in subsequent years. Frequent technological innovations have facilitated combining biomarkers with the novel medications and drugs for accurate diagnosis as well as better treatment options. To cite an instance, biomarkers are used for treating numerous neurological disorders by monitoring the brain health and activity by assessing the biomolecules. Nascent advancements including biomarker signatures have helped boost the success rate of treatment of neurological diseases, leading to non-invasive testing, drug development and early diagnosis.
Furthermore, increase in government initiatives aimed at bringing down healthcare costs via personalized medicines, in a bid to focus more on early detection as well as disease prevention could benefit the market in the following years. On top of that, the mounting number of distributors, service providers and manufacturers of biomarkers across countries is creating attractive opportunities in the industry. Biomarkers’ widespread use in oncology more than in any other disorder and the growing cancer cases worldwide could translate into substantial business expansion. Several firms are constantly adopting strategic tactics such as acquisitions, product innovation, mergers and conducting awareness campaigns to bolster their brand standing in the global market.
