The rise in innovations in diagnostic technologies, including the introduction of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing, has enabled rapid and accurate detection of resistant bacteria, further driving the growth of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) diagnostic market. Moreover, the increasing shift towards point-of-care testing, which allows for immediate results and faster decision-making in treatment, is anticipated to boost demand for AMR diagnostics, thus propelling market growth.
For instance, in June 2023, Sysmex Corporation launched a testing system in Europe for the rapid detection of antimicrobial susceptibility. The system detects the presence or absence of bacteria and assesses antimicrobial effectiveness using urine samples from patients suspected of having urinary tract infections (UTIs). Consequently, various factors—such as rising infection rates, heightened public awareness, technological advancements, supportive government initiatives, and a growing emphasis on personalized medicine—are driving market growth.
