RT-PCR Assay Kits to Hold the Largest Share in the COVID-19 Testing Kits Market

RT-PCR assay kits are the most commonly used test in the detection of coronavirus. They are intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of nucleic acid from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in lower respiratory tract fluids such as bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, tracheal aspirate and upper respiratory tract fluids such as nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.

RT-PCR tests are very specific and sensitive. These kits can detect as little as one virus particle in swabs taken from inside the mouth or nose. In addition, most countries relied on RT-PCR tests initially because these were the fastest to develop. However, more antibody tests are now becoming available in the market.

The report on the "Global COVID-19 Testing Kits market" offers an in-depth analysis of the segments such Product (RT-PCR Assay Kits, Immunoassay Test Strips/Cassettes), Specimen Type (Upper respiratory tract, Lower respiratory tract specimens, and Sputum), and End-use (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, Research Centers).

Increasing Production Capacity and Continuous Research and Development to Be the Major Strategy of the COVID-19 Testing Kits Manufacturers

The COVID-19 testing kits market is intensely competitive with a large number of established and emerging players. The market is witnessing a large number of product development and product approvals. Moreover, due to the current demand and supply gap in the market, several new entrants are entering the market with innovative product offerings.

The key players in the market include Abbott Laboratories, BGI, BioFire Diagnostics, Cepheid, Co-Diagnostics, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, GenMark Diagnostics, Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech, Mylab Discovery Solutions, Qiagen, Quidel Corporation, Randox Laboratories, and SD Biosensor.  In a major development, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first at-home COVID-19 test kit, which is expected to bring coronavirus testing to the doorsteps of every household. These players are continuously involved in the development of effective testing kits for COVID-19.  

Recently, in March 2020, the FDA has approved an "automated assay" from Abbott Diagnostics that uses an isothermal nucleic acid amplification method. Moreover, in recent days, a home test kit has been developed by LabCorp, a U.S. company that has a network of medical laboratories across the country. This will be the first at-home test kit available commercially, after the approval.

However, several companies are also increasing their production capacities to meet the increasing demand from the market. SD Biosensor, a bio-diagnostic company, has started manufacturing COVID-19 rapid test kits in India with a capacity to produce 5,00,000 such kits per week. The development is seen as a major relief for India as the infection is spreading at a rapid pace.
