The rise in both global population and travel is contributing to the increase in spread of infectious diseases. Rapid and accurate identification of the infectious pathogens are imperative for timely intervention, better patient outcomes, and control and management of the spread of the infection. Conventional infectious disease diagnoses are performed in centralized labs; they have a long turnaround time and require expertise. Microfluidics-based infectious disease diagnostics, on the other hand, can enable multiplexed pathogen detection, rapid turnaround, and results at the point of care; they help healthcare providers take quick clinical decisions on treatment or isolation, and enable a lower rate of incidence.
In this report, the microfluidics-based infectious disease diagnostic innovations have been segmented by the property/phenomenon exploited for the isolation or identification. This Frost & Sullivan research service analyzes the drawbacks of conventional infectious disease diagnosis and the benefits of employing microfluidics in infectious disease diagnostics. It also covers growth drivers and the restraints in the micro-/nanofluidic infectious disease diagnostics industry, emerging microfluidic technologies, and companies to action. Technology adoption trends, innovation indicators, and the commercialization voids in the micro-/nanofluidic infectious disease diagnostics are also analyzed. Growth opportunities offered by advanced loop-mediated isothermal amplification platforms, rapid antimicrobial resistance detection platforms, and advanced infectious pathogen biosensors are also discussed. The study also includes an IP landscape analysis of the patents filed over the last 6 years, critical success factors and strategic recommendations.
