Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Diagnostics Market: COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has become a global challenge for healthcare industry and will have long-lasting effect on sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics industry. Before pandemic there was rise in sexually transmitted diseases as there were no restrictions on movement of people and the latter could visit sex workers. However, lockdowns and restrictions on movement of people during COVID-19 times resulted in zero or negligible visits (frequency) of people to sex workers, thereby resulting in reduction in sexually transmitted disease infection among people. This has caused disruption in growth of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market. Apart from this, a large number of non-emergency visits were delayed during COVID pandemic and were converted into online tools for preventing doctors & patients from getting infected from COVID virus.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Diagnostics Market: Outlook

Early diagnosing of sexually transmitted diseases is predicted to minimize effect of disease on human health. Reportedly, if sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus, chlamydia, and genital herpes are not treated in time, it can result in long-term complications in affected persons. These complications encompass mental retardation, blindness, infertility, birth defects, cancer, heart disorders, and bone deformities in patients. Moreover, healthcare service providers diagnose sexually transmitted diseases through physically examination of subjects, blood tests, and through use of swabbed cultures at labs. Sexual transmitted diseases (STD) diagnosis involves lab testing and screening. Lab tests can recognize cause and identify co-infection through testing of blood, urine, and fluid samples. For the record, sexually transmitted disease patients are treated by prescribing them medications such as antiviral drugs and antibiotics.  

Furthermore, researchers at NIAID had carried out immunological studies for knowing as to why large number of sexually transmitted ailments in individuals is asymptomatic. Moreover, these studies have unleashed that how mutation in the infection accounted notably towards drug resistance in STD patients due to constant infection & co-infection. This can pose a big challenge to growth of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Diagnostics Market: Growth Factors

• Growth Drivers: Rise in awareness about educational campaigns and supportive government schemes will proliferate size of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market over ensuing years. Furthermore, increase in persons having living relationships with many partners and people having sexual encounters with more than one partner resulting in causing of sexually transmitted diseases will boost market trends.
• Restraints: Growing importance of sex education and reduction in taboo related to discussion over topics such as sexual activities & sexual arousal will hinder market surge. Rise in awareness about spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and need of avoiding it by taking preventive measures such as use of condoms can decrement growth of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market.
• Opportunities: Rise in point of care testing activities due to influx of new diagnostic kits, reagents, and instruments will create new growth avenues for sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market. Reportedly, technologically advanced equipment in diagnostics domain offers precise testing outcomes, thereby driving market size.
• Challenges: Fluctuating costs of raw materials impacting demand and supply of diagnostics devices has severely impacted import & export of raw materials as well as production of sexually transmitted diseases devices, thereby posing a huge challenge to expansion of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Diagnostics Market: Segmentation

Based on segmentation, sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnostics market is segregated into type and testing devices. Based on type, the market is divided into chlamydia testing, gonorrhea testing, human papilloma virus testing, syphilis testing, herpes simplex virus testing, and human immunodeficiency virus testing. In terms of testing devices, the industry is sectored into laboratory equipment and point of care equipment.

Chlamydia Testing To Dominate Type Segment Over 2022-2028

Growth of chlamydia testing segment over forecasting timeframe can be attributed to low barrier protection and less awareness about chlamydia disease in under-developed and third world countries.

Laboratory Equipment Segment To Contribute Humungously Towards Market Size By 2028

Massive demand for laboratory devices for testing & diagnosing sexually transmitted diseases in individuals will boost segmental growth. Furthermore, most of diagnostic testing takes place in labs, thereby generating huge need of lab equipment.  

Report Scope:
