Clinical microbiology is used in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infections by performing detection, characterization, and quantification of pathogens in the patient’s sample. The market is expanding due to a rise in infectious diseases and the requirement for timely diagnosis of illness. According to the World Population Prospects (WPP) 2024 report by UNDESA, India's youth population (ages 15–24) made up a significant portion of the country's demographic profile between 2000 and 2020 and is projected to remain substantial beyond 2020. However, as the demographic transition advances, this age group’s share is expected to gradually decline, while the proportion of the elderly population (65 years and above) steadily increases. The market growth is also impacted by the rising incidence of an aging population across the region. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2035.
Rising Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases Poised to Propel the Market Growth
The increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is projected to significantly drive market growth. According to the latest Global Burden of Disease Report, India bears one of the heaviest burdens of chronic respiratory diseases worldwide. While the country accounts for 15.69% of global chronic respiratory disease cases, it is responsible for a disproportionate 30.28% of all related global deaths. India has the highest number of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) cases globally, with an estimated 55.23 million people affected. It also records the second-highest number of COPD-related deaths worldwide, with nearly 850,000 fatalities. Additionally, India leads the world in asthma-related deaths, accounting for a staggering 43% of global asthma mortality. As respiratory diseases often involve infectious triggers or complications, such as bacterial or viral infections, the demand for rapid, accurate microbiological diagnostics is rising.
Increase in Healthcare Investments Resulting in Rapid Market Growth
The market is witnessing heavy investments by leading market players. For instance, in December 2024, Laurus Bio, a subsidiary of Laurus Labs Ltd., a Hyderabad-based biopharma venture, secured INR 120 crores of investment from Eight Roads Ventures and F-Prime Capital. The money will be used to expand microbial-fermentation capabilities that will generate faster development of new products, which will further improve the essential microbes required for a healthy human body.
Some of the latest market trends include setting up new microbiology labs, advanced innovations, collaboration of companies, and a focus on beating antimicrobial resistance.
