COVID-19 Impact on Global Impact on Molecular Diagnostics, Serology, Critical Care Tests, Vaccines and Telehealth Markets
DUBLIN, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "COVID-19 Update: Impact on Molecular Diagnostics, Serology, Critical Care Tests, Vaccines and Telehealth Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The current COVID-19 crisis affecting the United States and the world has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and countless economic costs. This has brought forth an array of solutions that could contribute to detecting, containing, and possibly treating the disease. The analyst has covered the fields of molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and telehealth for decades. These important industries, already growing in revenues and number of competitors, now find themselves part of the current crisis. This COVID-19 Update provides trending developments, company announcements, and analysis from the analysis team on fast-breaking events in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Early COVID-19 IVD Market Estimates - Moderate Case, Best Case, Worst Case
In preparing market analysis, the analyst normally consults detailed financial information from the major in vitro diagnostics firms to obtain accurate results. In the throes of this crisis, such data are lacking. However, using the many statements that have been issued plus knowledge gleaned from the analyst's databases on flu and other molecular testing.
The analyst has assembled the following market cases for COVID-19 testing:
- COVID-19 Tests Moderate IVD Market Case (Molecular, Antibody, US/Global)
- COVID-19 Tests Best IVD Market Case (Molecular, Antibody, US/Global)
- COVID-19 Tests Worst IVD Market Case (Molecular, Antibody, US/Global)
In addition, the report features an Appendix that presents the COVID-19 moderate market case analysis in detail (note that the best and worst market cases were built from this moderate case analysis).
Molecular Diagnostics
Testing for viruses is normally conducted using RT-PCR, a form of molecular testing. To a lesser degree, antibody tests are used. Both types of testing have been present in the COVID-19 crisis. The report takes a particular interest in molecular diagnostics, the segment in vitro diagnostics directly affected by COVID-19. Topics explored include the following:
- Early COVD-19 Related Financial Results at Molecular Test Companies
- Smaller, Mid-Size MDx Companies See Double-Digit Boosts
- Life Science Company Revenues Down
- Molecular Testing: A Learning Curve
- EUA Authorizations
- Survey of Clinical Diagnostic Labs
- Reopening Plans
- Supply Issues
- Marketed Molecular Tests (EUA, CE Other)
- Potential Market Impacts
Serology Tests
Serology tests are serum-based immunoassays that are inexpensive and run on high-volume analyzers that are very common in hospital and reference labs, in contrast to PCR tests, which tend to be more complex and expensive. These tests look for the presence of host antibodies that a patient may have developed in reaction to the disease, rather than detecting the disease itself. In so doing, serology tests at some point could ascertain whether patients have immunity, though mechanisms of immunity have not been fully explored with COVID-19.
COVID-19 Update provides information about serology testing:
- FDA Actions Related to Serology Tests
- Serum/Whole Blood Tests
- Serology Tests on The Market
- Fingerstick Tests
Other IVD Tests
The results of a survey on the US Impact on Hospital and Reference Test Volume have pointed toward other in vitro diagnostic testing that may provide useful COVID-19 insights, as well as non-COVID testing issues:
- Critical Care Chemistries
- Blood Gas Testing
- d-Dimer
- Cardiac Troponin
- PCT
- CRP
