Molecular Transport Medium Market Segmentation:
Type Segment Analysis
The global molecular transport medium market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into viral transportation medium and virus swabs. Between these two types, the viral transportation medium segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the sudden break out of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering the demand for transport medium products and kits worldwide. According to the Journal of Clinical Microbiology between 3000 to 5000 viral transport medium tubes are produced each day to support SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing globally. The innovation of kits containing vials, double-ended flocked swabs, antibiotics, and other antibacterial and antifungal items that prevent contamination is estimated to drive the segment growth.
Application Segment Analysis
The global molecular transport medium market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into diagnostic laboratories, microbiology laboratories, hospitals & clinics, and others. Amongst these three segments, the diagnostic laboratories segment is expected to garner a significant share. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the surge in clinical trials and diagnostic testes backed by the rising awareness of early diagnosis in the global population. The higher prevalence of severe infectious diseases across the globe has spurred the demand for molecular transport medium worldwide. It was observed that in the United States, over 6 billion diagnostic tests are performed annually.
