According to a new research study by Global Insight Services (GIS), the blood culture tests market is expected to grow rapidly over the next 10 years to reach a value of more than the US $8.5 billion by 2031.
Blood Culture tests play an essential role in the diagnosis of various infectious diseases. The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases combined with advancements in diagnostic technologies is anticipated to boost market growth. Adding to that, the aging population, demand for rapid analysis and treatment are estimated to fuel the blood culture tests market in future.
According to the World Health Organization, every year around 17 million people around the world die owing to infectious diseases. Moreover, an increase in R&D investments and awareness in early diagnosis among the population across the globe is projected to foster the market growth in the near future. However, the lack of skilled professionals and high cost of novel technologies anticipated to hamper the market growth.

Global Blood Culture Tests Market: Key Drivers
The key factors such as high incidence of bloodstream infections is likely to boost the growth of the blood culture tests market. Nosocomial (hospital-acquired) bloodstream infections are one of the major causes of mortality across the world. In the US alone, approximately 250,000 cases of hospital-acquired BSIs occur each year. Worldwide, bloodstream infections affect about 30 million people leading to 6 million deaths, with 3 million newborns and 1.2 million children suffering from sepsis annually.
In Eastern African countries, the proportion of patients with bloodstream infections is reported to range from 11% to 28%. In Ghana, bloodstream infection rates are estimated to be in the range of 9.3% to 11.2%. The occurrence of these infections raises the overall duration of hospitalization coupled with the cost of treatment. With the rising incidence of BSIs, the demand for advanced blood culture techniques that assist in the early detection of infections is expected to rise.
Likewise, emerging economies like China, India, and other countries in Southeast Asia and countries in the Middle East and Latin America are becoming focal points for the growth of the blood culture tests market. The major growth in these markets can primarily be attributed to the growth in the prevalence of infectious diseases, rapid growth in the geriatric population, the growing number of product approvals, and rising healthcare expenditure.
For example, the healthcare expenditure in China increased to 5.35% of the GDP in 2018 from USD 4.88% of GDP in 2015. Such significant spending will result in the adoption of advanced systems, such as automated blood culture systems, among hospitals and reference laboratories in these regions. This, in turn, is likely to provide potential growth opportunities for players operating in the blood culture tests market in the upcoming years.
