Abstract:
Need for Faster Diagnosis Drives Technology Development in the U.S. Rapid Microbiology Tests Market
Participants in the U.S. rapid microbiology tests market have to develop innovative products with an accent on size, sensitivity, speed automation, standardization, and ability to communicate with information systems to gain the much-needed impetus in the market. These tests can expedite diagnosis and thereby aid early commencement of treatment and therapy. By helping to avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics and other drugs, rapid microbiology tests reduce overall costs, enable faster turnaround times, and provide higher patient satisfaction. The use of rapid tests at physicians' office laboratories (POLs) also eliminates the need to visit hospitals. The untapped potential of bioterrorism tests in the corporate sector and the cost savings involved in fast detection of bioterrorism threats are likely to further drive technology innovations and faster revenue growth.
This Frost & Sullivan research provides an overview of the U.S. rapid microbiology tests market. The market has been segmented into streptococcus, sexually transmitted disease (STD), gastrointestinal, respiratory, and bioterrorism tests. It also discusses the challenges to market expansion and revenue generation and gives recommendations to overcome them. The research enables companies to align their positioning strategies to benefit from the changing markets and obtain maximum return on investment.

High Incidence of Seasonal Diseases and Untapped Subsegments Hold Potential for Growth
Certain segments of the rapid microbiology test market such as influenza tests experience seasonal demand due to high incidence of the disease during particular seasons. Companies have to focus on targeting niche markets to generate higher revenues. For instance, if the incidence of rotavirus in infants is high, a rapid tests company can limit product marketing to pediatric offices and hospitals with a high population of neonates or specialty pediatric units, says the analyst of this research. Resources spent on this targeting can be compensated with higher product penetration and reduced marketing to less profitable or merely nominal end-user segments.
Some segments such as bioterrorism tests can also increase demand and thereby, the market size. However, the growth is expected to be event-driven and difficult to anticipate. By 2011, there is likely to be a shift in most segments from traditional testing to molecular diagnostics. However, certain conventional tests are likely to be retained due to their cost advantage to the supplier market.

Partnerships are the Order of the Day in the Intensely Competitive Market
The highly saturated and competitive U.S. rapid microbiology tests market needs to look for alternative solutions to expand its reach. This need has led to a spurt of mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation in the market. Through this strategy, participants can reduce their marketing costs, expand their product portfolio, and have more resources at their disposal, notes the analyst. This is likely to be the trend for the short term, after which, probably, all that will be left is four or five large companies with an extensive portfolio of products.
