Modern Testing Technologies by Companies to Drive the Middle East and Africa COVID-19 Diagnostics Market

F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Atlas Medical, and Sentinel Ch. SpA, among others, are the major players in the COVID-19 diagnostics market in the Middle East and Africa.

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the Middle East and Africa COVID-19 diagnostics market is being aided by the growing number of COVID-19 patients, which has reached over 2.76 million people within the MENA region as per November 2020.

The laboratories segment contributes a major share in the COVID-19 diagnostics industry. Due to the constant increase in the laboratory capacity by the expansion of testing portfolios and the creation of modern laboratories, the usage of detection kits is maximised. It is expected that the cases in South Africa are going to increase, which in return, would boost the Middle East and Africa COVID-19 diagnostics market. The emergence of the modern testing technologies will also result in the growth of the diagnostics industry.

The centralised approach that works towards the production of kits and apps, and monitoring programmes for mass testing offers information on symptoms and risks. The adoption of the drive-through and walk-through testing centres for the expansion of testing sites is further expected to drive the regional market growth.

The SAR-CoV-2 antigen self-test nasal for home, which enables people to simply test themselves for COVID-19 at home with a straightforward nose swab, got a CE mark, according to an announcement made by Roche in June 2021. Through a special QR Code, their digital solution enables them to instantly store, display, and share their test findings. They also launched a variant test which helps to monitor the emerging mutations of coronavirus.
