The infectious disease diagnostics testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The infectious disease diagnostics testing market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $38.52 billion in 2024 to $42.56 billion in 2025, reflecting a CAGR of 10.5%.
The growth is due to rising disease outbreaks such as SARS, Ebola, and Zika, increased awareness about early detection and prevention, government-funded disease surveillance programs, global travel, and rising healthcare spending, particularly in emerging markets.
The infectious disease diagnostics testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The infectious disease diagnostics testing market is projected to reach $62.58 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 10.1%.
This growth is driven by the emergence of new pathogens, personalized medicine, increasing demand for rapid testing, focus on epidemiological surveillance, and R&D investments. Trends include miniaturization of devices, multiplex assays, digital health solutions, next-gen sequencing technologies, biosensor innovations, and AI integration.
The rise in respiratory infections is projected to drive the infectious disease diagnostic testing market. Respiratory infections, often caused by viruses or bacteria, are increasing due to poor hygiene, close contact, and seasonal weather changes. Diagnostic testing is vital for identifying the pathogens causing respiratory infections. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, hospitalizations for upper respiratory infections increased by 32% from 2022 to 2023. As a result, the rise in respiratory infections is contributing to the growth of the infectious disease diagnostic testing market.

Leading organizations in the infectious disease diagnostic testing market are prioritizing the advancement of inventive technologies, like molecular diagnostics platforms, to maintain their market dominance. These platforms, geared towards nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) detection and analysis from biological specimens for diagnosis, are incredibly advanced. An example of this is Becton Dickinson and Company, an American medical technology firm, which introduced the BD COR System in May 2022 - a full-scale, high-throughput infectious disease molecular diagnostics platform. The platform offers end-to-end automation from sample management to diagnosis, which eliminates the need for manual specimen categorization and allows lab technicians to focus on more critical tasks. Capable of processing as many as 1,700 specimens and providing results in a day, the system offers advanced genotyping for diseases like HPV and STIs along with high-throughput features.
