Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – Overview

The growing healthcare industry makes use of technology to diagnose and monitor complex conditions, detect risk, and, most importantly, select the most tailored treatments and therapies for individual patients. molecular diagnostics is the study of how individuals express their genes as proteins and the application of medical and microbiological technology in medical imaging science to examine biological markers residing in the proteome and genome. For decades, molecular diagnostics has been regarded as a superior tool for reaching the goal of faster disease diagnosis with fewer complications. The demand for these procedures is growing, especially for diagnosing infectious diseases.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market

Growth Drivers

Increasing Number of Infectious Disease-related Clinical Trials

With the rising burden of communicable diseases, the number of clinical trials in Middle Eastern countries has also spiked. According to the data published by the Clinical Trials Arena, “the Middle East has seen an 888% increase in the number of infectious disease trials taking place over the past decade, the largest increase for any region worldwide.” The data also revealed that Iran hosted the highest number of trials in the area in 2020, accounting for 79.3% of all trials. With 9.1% and 3.4%, respectively, of the region's trials taking place, Israel and Saudi Arabia came in second and third.

Restraints

High Cost of Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular approaches typically cost more than more common conventional approaches. Some labs might find the expense of supplies and equipment to be prohibitive. Furthermore, certain clinical laboratories might not have the specific area needed for molecular amplification techniques. Additionally, the market growth is severely constrained by inadequate reimbursements. Obtaining private health insurance to cover diagnostic testing is a challenge for the majority of diagnostic firms.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market

Segmental Coverage

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By Product

Based on product, the Middle East molecular diagnostics market is segregated into systems, kits & consumables, software, and other product segments. The kits and consumables segment holds the highest market share. A full polymerase chain reaction (PCR) typically needs five basic reagents, including a DNA template, forward and reverse primers, DNA polymerase, deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), and reaction buffer. Standard reagents aid in obtaining reliable and timely results. It is envisaged that standardized outcomes, increased efficacy, and cost-effectiveness will encourage market expansion.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By Testing Location

Based on testing location, the Middle East molecular diagnostics market is segmented into laboratory testing and point-of-care testing. Laboratory testing accounts for the highest share in the Middle East molecular diagnostics market. Lab tests have historically been utilized in hospitals and diagnostic facilities and are widely acknowledged. Another significant factor projected to drive the market is a growth in the number of efforts done by the government to provide various services, such as reimbursement for diagnostic tests.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By Technology

Based on technology, the Middle East molecular diagnostics market is segmented into polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing, isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology (INAAT), microarray, in-situ hybridization (ISH), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and other technologies. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology accounts for the largest market share. While a COVID-19 infection is still in its early stages, fast antigen testing frequently results in false negatives and false positives. In contrast, PCR assays are far less likely to have similar problems. Its higher accuracy compared to its counterparts play a crucial factor in propelling its market growth.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By Application

Based on application, the Middle East molecular diagnostics market is segmented into core molecular diagnostics, reproductive genetics, companion diagnostics (CDX), liquid biopsy, and other applications. The core molecular diagnostics segment holds the highest share in the Middle East molecular diagnostics market. The increased use of molecular testing in laboratories to treat illnesses is primarily responsible for this market segment's expansion. The majority of the Middle East's molecular diagnostics market is serviced by a wide number of inclusive core molecular diagnostics applications.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By End Users

Based on end users, the Middle East molecular diagnostics market is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic centers, outpatient clinics/general practitioners, research laboratories, and other end users. The hospital segment accounts for the highest market share. The increasing number of patients approaching hospitals for regular checkups and in case of suffering from communicable diseases contributes to the growing demand for molecular diagnostics tools in hospitals. Hospitals also offer real-time assistance from health professionals as well as quick commencement of treatments which is contributing to its market growth.

Middle East Molecular Diagnostics Market – By Country

The Middle East molecular diagnostics market covers the following major countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the rest of Middle East. Saudi Arabia dominates the Middle East molecular diagnostics market owing to the increasing prevalence of communicable diseases in this region. To stop the spread of infectious illnesses including seasonal flu, tuberculosis (TB), yellow fever, and others that are becoming more common in Saudi Arabia, the government is setting up diagnostic facilities. Eventually, this led to a notable increase in the molecular diagnostics market in the area.

Competitive Landscape

Major competitors in the Middle East molecular diagnostics market include Abbott, Agilent Technologies, Inc., bioMerieux SA, Babirus Medical Equipment LLC, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Danaher, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Guardant Health, Illumina, Inc., QIAGEN N.V., and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. To further enhance their market share, these companies employ various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.

Recent Developments

• In September 2022 – OpGen, Inc., a US-based molecular microbiology solutions company, announced that its subsidiary Curetis GmbH signed a distribution agreement for the distribution of Unyvero systems in Qatar and the UAE with Leader Life Sciences through their trading firm Leader Medical Supplies Trading LLC, a member of the Leader Healthcare Group.
