Overview:

There are many different types of tests used to detect or diagnose HIV. Blood tests, which involve drawing a sample of your blood from a vein, are the most common test. They look for antigens or antibodies to HIV. These tests can start finding HIV as soon as 18 to 90 days after infection. There are also rapid HIV tests done at home that can detect HIV within 30 minutes. Laboratory tests can detect HIV antigens or antibodies in blood drawn from a vein or a sample of oral fluid or urine. The tests are usually ordered after an individual has been exposed to HIV or after a doctor suspects patient has the virus.

Market Dynamics:

Presence of high population pool in Asia Pacific is expected to augment growth of the Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market over the forecast period. Over the time, population of this region has increased progressively along with the need for diagnostics for infectious diseases. The demand for new HIV diagnostics is also increasing in the region, further driving growth of the market. For instance, according to the World Bank Data, the number of population across East Asia & Pacific increased from 2.35 billion in 2019 to 2.37 billion in 2021.

However, factors such as social ostracism and stigma around HIV infections and diseases are projected to hamper growth of the Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19:

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market. The virus outbreak emerged in Wuhan, China, and further impacted more than 100 countries across the globe. The number of people infected with COVID-19 was significantly high in Asia Pacific. Due to this, the demand for tests kits for COVID-19 cases increased rapidly, and the demand for HIV diagnostic declined, as the primary focus across several countries was COVID-19 patients. Thus, the market was adversely impacted by the pandemic.

Key Takeaways:

·         The Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period, due to rise in initiatives by governments of countries in this region to bring up HIV diagnosis. For instance, in February 2022, the government of India announced that it is allowing 5% import duty on diagnostics kits to detect HIV and Hepatitis B in order to increase domestic manufacturing.

·         Launch of novel diagnostic techniques for HIV tests is a major trend in the Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market. For instance, in August 2022, Molbio Diagnostics, a leading in-vitro diagnostics company introduced a novel test for differential diagnosis of HIV I and HIV II. The new technology offers with viral loads within 60 minutes.

·         Key Players active in the Asia Pacific HIV diagnostics market are Danaher Corporation, Abbott Laboratories, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Merck KGaA, Becton, and Dickinson and Company, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Atomo Diagnostics, MedMira Inc., Siemens Healthineers, Inc., and bioLytical Laboratories Inc.
