Opportunities: Growth opportunities in emerging market
Emerging countries such as APAC,India, China and Japan present significant opportunities for players operating in the Antimicrobial susceptibiity testing market. The demand for Antimicrobial susceptibiity testing market in these countries is increasing owing to rapid growth in medical tourism, the growing adult (aged 20 and above) population, increasing drug abuse. These countries are also home to a strong and qualified workforce and have a great knowledge of advance technologies.Furthermore, these countries have lenient policies for imports/exports and are underpenetrated in most aspects, which could help companies in brand development. Increasing developing technicians and the keen to know about new technologies is helping the regions to grow and update their technologies.
Drivers: Emergence of multidrug resistance due to drug abuse
As medication resistance increases internationally, making diseases harder to cure and ultimately to mortality, antibiotics are becoming less and less effective. According to the WHO priority pathogen list, new antibiotics are urgently needed, for instance, to treat carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections. Unfortunately, these novel medicines will experience the same destiny as the present antibiotics and become useless if people do not modify the way antibiotics are used currently.
