Global Microbiology Testing Market - Overview
Microbiology testing has emerged as one of the rapidly changing and growing segment of healthcare over the past few years. Microbiology testing deals with the study of microbial germs and their clinical applications for the improvement of health. Microbiology testing is concern with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of various infectious diseases such as, sexually respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, sexually transmitted infections, and many others. These diseases can be spread from one person to another, directly or indirectly.
According to a recent study published by the Market Research Future analysts, the global microbiology testing market is growing at a double digit growth rate; mainly due to factors such as technological advancements, rising cases of infectious diseases, surveillance programs for disease control, and rising stringency of standards. On the other hand, erroneous results produced during the testing, and heavy costs of the tests and instruments have created some obstacles in the growth of this market in all parts of the world.Global Microbiology Testing Market - Competitive Analysis
