The growth of the global COVID-19 detection kits market will be driven by the responsiveness of countries to contain the spread of the coronavirus and advancements in healthcare facilities.

These are the latest findings of Transparency Market Research Pvt. Ltd. (Albany, NY, USA), a next-generation market intelligence provider, offering fact-based solutions to business leaders, consultants, and strategy professionals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus as a global health emergency, following an outbreak of cases in several parts of the world. Currently, more than 180 countries have reported cases of coronavirus among individuals of all age groups. The vulnerability of all groups of people to the virus has created panic among the masses. Therefore, it is important to ramp up manufacturing of COVID-19 detection kits. The value of the COVID-19 detection kits market is continuously rising on account of advancements in healthcare facilities

The healthcare industry has recalibrated its focus on fighting the pandemic. Countries such as Italy, the US, and Spain have been the worst-hit by the pandemic. Therefore, the use of COVID-19 detection kits in these regions has increased by leaps and bounds. As India ramps up its pace of testing, several companies have come to the fore of the healthcare industry. India has also received testing kits from South Korea, which is an important dynamic of market growth. The success of testing facilities in India has been a primary driver of demand within the global market.

Despite strict containment measures such as lockdowns and ban on public gathering, the risk of virus spread remains high. Several healthcare professionals and entities, including the WHO, recommend rapid testing as the foremost strategy to control the virus. Increased number of tests has helped countries in flattening the curve of the COVID-19 spread. Furthermore, testing has also helped governments and state authorities in contact tracing of affected individuals. Thus, the manufacturing of COVID-19 detection kits has assumed significant importance in various parts of the world. The presence of a seamless industry for COVID-19 testing will play a vital role in driving sales across the global market. The development of test kits that can deliver results in less than six hours will play a defining role in the growth of the global COVID-19 detection kits market.
