Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for Europe Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in 2023 is US$ 1.16 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 1.8 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 5.50%.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is a laboratory technique used to assess the efficacy of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents against a particular microorganism. This testing is important because it provides critical information to guide the selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy for bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. AST involves the exposure of the microorganism to various concentrations of antimicrobial agents in vitro and the subsequent determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) required to inhibit or kill the organism. The MIC is the lowest amount of an antimicrobial agent that can inhibit the growth of the microorganism.

AST can be performed using different methods, including disk diffusion, broth microdilution, agar dilution, and gradient diffusion. The disk diffusion method involves placing paper disks impregnated with different antimicrobial agents onto a bacterial culture plate and measuring the size of the zone of inhibition around the disk. The broth microdilution method involves preparing serial dilutions of the antimicrobial substance in a liquid growth medium and then inoculating the dilutions with the microorganism of interest. Agar dilution involves preparing a series of agar plates, each containing a different concentration of the antimicrobial agent. The plates are inoculated with the microorganism, and the MIC is determined. Gradient diffusion involves using plastic strips impregnated with a gradient of the antimicrobial agent. The strips are placed on an agar plate inoculated with the microorganism, and the MIC is determined by identifying the concentration of the antimicrobial agent where the gradient intersects with the growth of the microorganism.

Recent developments by key players in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Market:

  • In May 2022, NanoSynex Ltd., a business in which Qualigen recently finalised arrangements to acquire a controlling ownership, was highlighted at BioMed Israel, according to an announcement from Qualigen Therapeutics. Innovative technology developed by NanoSynex aims to six-fold accelerate the turnaround time for antimicrobial susceptibility test results.

The antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) market is dynamic and is influenced by various factors, such as the prevalence of infectious diseases, technological advancements, and government initiatives. One of the major factors influencing the growth of the AST market is the increasing incidence of infectious diseases worldwide. The emergence of new strains of drug-resistant bacteria and the increasing use of antibiotics has increased the demand for AST products and services. The development of new and advanced technologies is also driving the growth of the AST market. Advances in proteomics and genomics have led to the development of new diagnostic tools that can identify pathogens and their resistance mechanisms quickly and accurately. This has resulted in improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Government initiatives and policies are also playing a critical role in the growth of the AST market. Several governments worldwide have implemented programs to promote the rational use of antibiotics and prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections. These initiatives have led to increased demand for AST products and services.

However, the high cost of AST products and services remains a major challenge for the market. The high cost of these products and services limits their accessibility, particularly in low-income countries with a high burden of infectious diseases. Moreover, the lack of standardization in AST procedures and the emergence of new resistance mechanisms pose significant challenges for the market. Developing standardized testing procedures and implementing quality control measures are essential to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Overall, the AST market is dynamic, and it is anticipated to expand throughout the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of infectious illness, the development of new and innovative technologies, and government initiatives to promote the rational use of antibiotics. However, the market faces significant challenges that must be addressed to ensure its growth and sustainability.
