Market Report Description

The Global Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Testing Market size is expected to reach $119.95 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

Infections transmitted from an infected person to an uninfected person through sexual intercourse are known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Vaginal, oral, or anal sex are the most common forms of sexual contacts through which STDs get transmitted. Additionally, these diseases can spread through other forms of intimate physical contact also. This is due to the fact that some STDs, such as herpes and HPV, are spread through skin-to-skin contact since some of them are caused by Bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Gonorrhea, genital herpes, human papillomavirus infection, HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, and syphilis are only a few examples of STDs.

HIV/AIDS has consistently rated among the top ten leading causes of death for decades. In developed countries, testing and treatment have considerably reduced the disease's impact and prevalence. However, among younger groups, there has been a substantial increase in infection rates.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health disaster that has a negative impact on the STD testing market. Sexually transmitted infection cases were high prior to the pandemic, but following the pandemic, STD testing cases have reduced. Due to difficulties in health care and sexually transmitted infection testing services during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, testing reports of sexually transmitted infections were declined.

Due to a scarcity of intensive care resources, efforts were concentrated on ensuring the availability of critical care services. In addition, the imposition of restrictions like the ban on imports & exports and disruption in the supply chain have hampered the demand for STD testing kits and hence, hinder the growth of the STD testing market in the upcoming years.

Market Growth Factors:

Increasing awareness among population

There are many governments across developed and developing nations who are trying to aware people regarding the importance of early testing of STDs. For this, government and other healthcare authorities have strategized various campaigns for creating awareness among people regarding STDs. For example, CDC has initiated STD Awareness Week, which held in the second week of April. Also, many other renowned healthcare organizations are running campaigns for the same in their respective regions or even worldwide.

Rising government investments or funds

Several government authorities are increasing their investment in the development of fast and effective STD testing since it helps them to control the cases of STDs by providing correct medications at the correct time. The death rate of people having STDs is significantly high because patients do not get tested with correct measures at right time, which makes their condition more vulnerable and difficult to treat.

Marketing Restraining Factor:

Weak health services for screening and curing STDs

People seeking STI testing and treatment face numerous issues. Limited resources, poor service quality, and little or no sexual partner follow-up are among them. STI services are given independently in many countries and are not included in primary health care, family planning, or other regular health treatments. Because of a shortage of qualified employees, laboratory capacity, and adequate supply of relevant medicines, many services are unable to perform screening for asymptomatic infections.
