Increasing Demand in Laboratories to Augment the COVID-19 Diagnostics Industry Growth in the Middle East and Africa

Based on end use, the laboratories segment accounts for a significant share in the COVID-19 diagnostics industry in the region.

Such initiatives can be accelerated by strategic partnerships between public-health organisations, the government, private laboratories, and equipment manufacturers of the region.

South Africa to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities to the Middle East and Africa COVID-19 Diagnostics Industry

The Advent of Modern Testing Technologies to Bolster the Growth of the Middle East and Africa COVID-19 Diagnostics Industry

Several countries in the region are working towards the production of kits and apps, along with monitoring programmes for the mass testing of the novel coronavirus. For instance, a COVID-19 mobile app has been developed recently, which uses bluetooth signals to identify COVID-19 patients. This centralised approach also offers comprehensive information on infection symptoms and risks. Moreover, such initiatives hasten the identification of contaminated patients, thus, positively affecting the diagnostics market in the region.

Over the forecast period, the expansion of testing sites with the establishment of walk- and drive- through testing centres, is expected to drive the growth of the regional market. These facilities are expected to reduce contagion risk and decrease waiting time for patients.
