Market Dynamics

DRIVER: Rising environmental pollution levels

Exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants, allergens, and occupational exposure are the major risk factors causing chronic respiratory diseases. The prevalence of allergic disorders among the urban population is higher than those living in rural areas due to the higher exposure to environmental pollutants in cities (as a result of vehicular pollution and industrial activities).

As per the WHO, more than 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to air quality levels that exceed the WHO safety limits; though this is a global trend, its effects are more severe in the urban areas of low-income countries. This is a major indicator for the growth of the allergy diagnostics market, as air pollution from motor vehicles has been indicated as one of the major risk factors responsible for allergic diseases.

OPPORTUNITY: Use of mHealth in allergy diagnosis

The use of mHealth for the diagnosis of rhinitis is currently limited, with a small number of mHealth tools for allergic rhinitis (AR) diagnosis published in peer-reviewed journals. Recent developments in integrated biosensors, wireless communication, and power harvesting techniques generate a new breed of point-of-care devices. However, AR is a very common disease. Any diagnostic device connected to a smartphone (e.g., peak nasal inspiratory flow meters or intranasal biosensors) would need to be inexpensive to be affordable.

Restraints: Premium costs associated with allergy diagnostic instruments

Several allergy diagnostics instruments, such as luminometers, blot analyzers, scanners, ELISA analyzers, and immunoassay analyzers, are periodically updated by market players. As these instruments are equipped with advanced features and functionalities, they are priced at a premium (the price of each instrument varies based on its accuracy, flexibility, and TAT). For instance, immunoassay analyzers cost between USD 10,000 and USD 20,000, while luminometers cost between USD 3,000 and USD 14,000. Semi-automated ELISA readers cost between USD 2,000 and USD 5,000, while fully automated analyzers cost around USD 14,000. Furthermore, maintenance and insurance, laboratory supervision, and overheads (including utilities, space, and administration) are additional expenses required to operate this equipment.

Trends: Reagent rental agreements

Reagent rental agreements are sales agreements between end users (such as hospitals and diagnostic laboratories) and allergy diagnostic product manufacturers. Under these agreements, the end user rents or purchases instruments at a subsidized rate by entering into a reagent-purchase contract with the manufacturer. This mutually beneficial agreement lowers the initial capital investment for the end user while assuring the manufacturer of purchases over a substantial time period. In some cases, analyzers are rented out to the end user at a cost-per-test rate.
