Microbial Identification Market Drivers

Growing Food Safety Concerns 

• Rising prevalence of food-borne diseases and infections have increased the need for strict measures for food safety. The regulatory bodies need food producers and manufacturers to adopt stringent microbial testing standards and norms. This demand for strict food safety is driving the growth of the market in the food and beverage industry.  

Growth of Clinical Microbiology Laboratories and Government Initiatives 

• The rise of clinical labs, mainly in the progressing regions, is among the major market drivers. A greater number of laboratories are focusing on expanding their competencies. This ultimately demands more microbial identification services and products, thus considerably impacting the growth of the market. Also, several health organizations and governments are emphasizing prevention and control of infectious diseases. 

Restraints 

Complexity Associated with Microbial Identification Processes 

• The characterization and identification of microorganisms could be challenging and demand specialized knowledge and proficiency. This complexity may prevent most laboratories and healthcare providers from adopting the improved systems and technologies, mainly in the regions with low availability of resources and poor technical training. These factors may hamper the growth of the market. 

Heavy Competition from Traditional Methods 

• Traditional techniques for microbial identification like culture-based methods are still prominently used in majority regions in laboratories owing to their well-established efficiency and low price. In the current scenario, the increased dependence on these techniques may considerably hamper the implementation of novel and advanced solutions, thus limiting the growth of the market.
