The tuberculosis diagnostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a significant expansion in the size of the tuberculosis diagnostics market in the past few years. The market, which was worth $2.21 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $2.36 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
Factors such as a higher occurrence of tuberculosis, a rise in health care spending, an increase in the number of health care facilities, and a growing adoption of nucleic acid testing all contributed to the growth seen in the historical period.
The tuberculosis diagnostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated robust growth in the tuberculosis diagnostics market is predicted to elevate its size to $3.24 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
The significant expansion during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as strong governmental backing, escalating FDA approvals for tuberculosis diagnostics, augmented research and development (R&D) activities, and the advent of drug-resistant TB. Current trends impacting this expected growth include a shift in focus towards next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms for TB diagnostics, the introduction of innovative products, t-cell testing for TB infection, utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in tuberculosis diagnostics, application of portable devices, and partnerships between governmental bodies and manufacturers.
The increase in tuberculosis cases is propelling the tuberculosis diagnostics market forward. Tuberculosis, an infectious disease primarily impacting the lungs, is quite severe and spreads via coughing and sneezing, releasing minute germs into the air. Tuberculosis diagnostics assist in identifying patients, enabling earlier disease diagnosis and detection. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a national public health organization based in the United States, reported 8,300 cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the U.S in March 2023, showing an increase from 7,874 cases in 2021. Thus, the escalating incidence of tuberculosis is propelling the tuberculosis diagnostics market. Hence, the growing occurrence of tuberculosis is fostering the expansion of the tuberculosis diagnostics market.
