HIV Diagnostics Market is Gaining Rapid Traction with Roche Diagnostics receiving the U.S. FDA approval for its cobas HIV-1/HIV-2 Qualitative Test on the fully automated cobas 6800/8800 Systems in the U.S.
HIV
diagnostics are not as simple to acquire as they may appear to be, and it's
important that you get the correct tests for your particular condition. One
shouldn't be embarrassed or feel ashamed about getting tested for the disease;
after all, there are a lot of people who are living with HIV or AIDS and are
leading happy lives. The reason you're being tested is simply so you can get
the proper medical help you need, which can help you combat this dangerous
disease.
Growing
prevalence of HIV/AIDS is expected to drive growth of the global HIV
diagnostics market. According to the Joint United Nations Programme on
HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), in 2019, 38 million people were living with HIV across the
globe, of which 36.2 million were adults and 1.8 million were children aged 15
years and below. According to the same source, around 1.7 million people across
the globe acquired HIV in 2019. Such increasing prevalence has led to high
demand for advanced HIV diagnostics devices and testing kits across the globe.
Hence, such factors are expected to drive growth of the global HIV diagnostics
market. Increasing proactive initiatives to create awareness regarding HIV/AIDS
is expected to propel the global HIV diagnostics market growth in the near
future. For instance, in December 2020, Manforce Condom, a product of Mankind Pharma,
launched a new campaign titled “#StandTogether” to raise awareness regarding
HIV.
Lack of
mandates for the nucleic acid test (NAT) and high costs associated with it in
emerging economies is expected to restrain growth of the global HIB diagnostics
market. Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth
in the global HIV diagnostics market. This is owing to the presence of a
technologically advanced healthcare network and higher expenditure in R&D.
Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing
to the presence of high unmet demand in China and India.
Major
companies involved in the global HIV diagnostics market are Alere Inc., Qiagen,
Abbott Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, Abbvie Inc., Roche Diagnostics,
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Mylan Inc., Janssen Therapeutics, Zyomyx Inc., Gilead
Sciences, PointCare Technologies Inc., Merck & Co. Inc., Apogee Flow
Systems, VIIV Healthcare, Sysmex, BD Biosciences, Partec, and Beckman Coulter.
For
instance, in September 2020, Roche Diagnostics received the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approval for its cobas HIV-1/HIV-2 Qualitative Test for
use on the fully automated cobas 6800/8800 Systems in the U.S.
