COVID-19 Sample Collection Kits Market Growth & Trends

The global COVID-19 sample collection kits market size is expected to account for USD 16.3 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period. The continuous approval of diagnostic tests for effective diagnoses of SARS-CoV-2 infection raises the demand for sample collection products, such as swabs and Viral Transport Media (VTM). Also, a shortage of testing materials such as swabs, reagents, and others has resulted in the proliferation of new players in the space, thereby driving the market revenue.

The regulatory agencies are playing a major role as the key driving force of the market, by safeguarding the product efficiency and accelerating new approvals. For instance, in November 2020, the COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit test by Lucira was authorized by the U.S. Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) for home use for suspected COVID-19 individuals of age 14 and older. The test enables the use of a self-collected nasal swab specimen. Such developments are aimed at the comfort and convenience of patients, along with minimizing the infection risk for healthcare professionals.

Furthermore, constant expanding global financing to boost the swab production which is currently the need of the hour foment organic revenue growth. Some funding agencies are operating in the space are the Washington Entrepreneurial Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (WE-REACH), the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
