Future Market Insights

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to see an increase in swab and viral transport product manufacturing capabilities to meet the unprecedented requirements of healthcare organizations, on a global scale.

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2020 / The staggering rise in the number of global COVID-19 cases and the inadequacy of laboratory-based testing infrastructure are key factors that are encouraging the use of new swab and viral transport mediums. In addition, government bodies are pushing for faster approval of products in the market to enable faster access into open markets. These trends will support the swab and viral transport medium market until the end of the pandemic.

The swab and viral transport medium market is projected to rise at a sluggish 1.2% CAGR during the forecast period between 2020 and 2030. Rising incidences of infectious diseases and massive growth of cities with high population densities, bolsters the demand for swab and viral transport mediums. Innovations in terms of accuracy, faster results, and ease of use will support the industry even after the outbreak comes to an end.

"In early 2020, the United States FDA approved the application of synthetic swabs for coronavirus testing. This enables potential patients to self-administer the tests, minimizing exposure of the virus to medical professionals. In addition, manufacturers are pushing for the development of polyester swabs in large numbers to meet the rising need for COVID-19 diagnostics," states the FMI analyst.

Coronavirus Impact on Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market

Major swab and viral transport medium manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the massive global demand. Despite government funding and fiscal aid, shortages are likely to impact the market, even as producers push to ramp up production. In addition, swabs for COVID-19 tests need unique designs and materials, which impacts prospects in the market.

Disruptions to raw material supply chains such as plastics and reagents, are impacting hospital and clinic access to swabs and viral transport mediums. Governments are consequently directing manufacturing resources to keep up with the rising demand for testing. On the other hand, the high demand for COVID-19 related products is impacting swabs and viral transport mediums for other diseases which is impacting market growth. Bringing the pandemic under control is essential to maintain pre-coronavirus levels of demand.
