Historical Performance and Future LAMP Industry Forecast in Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific loop-mediated isothermal amplification industry recorded a CAGR of 5.1% from 2019 to 2023. In comparison, a CAGR of 5.7% has been estimated for the target industry between 2024 and 2034, indicating a spike of 0.6% from the historical growth rate.

In Asia Pacific, the prevalence of foodborne illnesses has increased rapidly due to shifting eating habits and food adulteration. Ready-to-eat food (RTE) may carry bacteria like Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Mycobacterium bovis, as well as toxins from Clostridium species and Staphylococcus Aureus. Such infected meat causes meat-borne diseases (MDBs), which are sometimes fatal.

With the constant rise in meat consumption, the demand for proper and effective diagnostics methods, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification, has increased. This trend will continue as meat consumption is anticipated to grow significantly in the coming years.

Looking forward, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification future scope looks bright in Asia Pacific. This is due to widening usage of technology in applications like disease diagnosis, environmental testing, and animal husbandry. Subsequently, advances in instruments will bode well for the industry.

Zoonotic diseases pose a serious risk to human health as well as animals. Quick diagnostic techniques can aid in managing infectious diseases within herds. The rapid and easy nucleic acid amplification technique, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, has a significant window of opportunity for diagnosis of such infectious diseases in cattle.

Strategic collaborations are likely to persist, fueling the development of novel products. Moreover, manufacturers may find strategic collaborations as a proactive measure to navigate challenges and boost growth.

Emerging Opportunities in LAMP Sector

Increasing incidence of various bacterial and viral infections such as tuberculosis, malaria, pneumonia, influenza, and others is set to increase demand for loop-mediated isothermal amplification products. This is due to their ability to quickly and accurately detect these diseases.

Asia Pacific has been significantly affected by infectious diseases due to its dense population, high mobility, and varying levels of healthcare infrastructure. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the region accounted for more than 60% of the global burden of tuberculosis (TB) cases in 2020.

To counter the growing disease burden, rapid diagnostic technologies and novel treatments are being used. This will continue to create growth prospects for the loop-mediated isothermal amplification sector in the region.

Organizations like the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) have recognized the critical role of diagnostic testing in addressing prevalence of infectious diseases. APEC member economies have prioritized collaboration in research and development, technology transfer, and capacity building to enhance diagnostic capabilities in the region.

Growing awareness about the benefits of innovative technology for point-of-care testing is another key factor boosting growth in Asia Pacific. Similarly, increasing government support will facilitate industry development in the region through 2034.

Factors Hampering Asia Pacific Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification Industry

Demand for loop-mediated isothermal amplification is continuously increasing. However, regulatory challenges and approval processes for diagnostic products are limiting growth. Similarly, limited healthcare infrastructure and resources can reduce adoption in developing economies.

Governments across the APAC region have stringent regulatory frameworks governing the approval and commercialization of medical devices and diagnostic assays to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality. These regulatory hurdles often result in delays in entry for diagnostic products.

In nations like India, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) regulates the approval and import of diagnostic kits and medical devices through a rigorous review process. Similarly, in China, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) checks the registration and regulation of medical devices, including diagnostic assays. It requires manufacturers to submit comprehensive documentation and conduct clinical evaluations to obtain approval.

The diversity of regulatory requirements across different countries within the Asia Pacific region complicates the process for manufacturers seeking to introduce assays to multiple industries simultaneously. Each country may have its own set of regulations, documentation requirements, and timelines for regulatory approval, leading to additional administrative burdens and resource allocation for manufacturers.
