MARKET DYNAMICS

DRIVERS

  • The government's efforts to identify and control antimicrobial resistant organisms are increasing.

  • Increasing market support, R&D grants and Public Private Partnerships

  • The rise of multidrug resistance as a result of substance abuse.

With the rise of medication resistance globally, diseases are becoming increasingly challenging to treat, leading to a decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics and, ultimately, contributing to higher mortality rates. For example, new antibiotics are urgently needed to treat carbapenem resistant gram-negative bacterial infections, according to the WHO list of priority pathogens.

RESTRAINTS

  • Automated ID/AST systems are extremely expensive

  • The cost of automated laboratory equipment is high.

There are top of the line features and functions in automated antimicrobial laboratory equipment, and it costs a lot of money. Automated AST systems reduce incubation and detection time. Another obstacle to this industry is the cost of maintaining these devices, which are well suited for cutting edge software and require periodic maintenance.

OPPORTUNITIES

  • Initiatives to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance and its management

  • Growth in the emerging markets

There are significant opportunities for players in the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market in emerging countries such as Asia Pacific, India, China and Japan. Also, the rising demand for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in these nations is driven by the rapid expansion of medical tourism, the growth of the adult population (aged 20 and above), and the escalating prevalence of drug abuse. The countries also have a strong and skilled workforce, which has great knowledge of the latest technological developments. In addition, these countries have favourable import and export policies and are underpenetrated in most respects, which could help companies to develop their brands. The regions are helping to develop and update their technologies by increasing the number of skilled technicians and by becoming more aware of new technologies.

CHALLENGES

  • Complex regulatory procedures are slowing down the approval of antimicrobial tests.

One of the biggest problems with antibiotic susceptibility testing is that there are too many gaps in time between determining breakpoints, approving new antibiotics and making them available on the market. The FDA sets certain threshold values when pharmaceutical companies submit applications for new medications which are not approved. The lack of clinically defined thresholds for some medicinal products is also limiting the adoption of antimicrobial susceptibility agents. For example, as an illustration, clinical cutoffs for assessing the effectiveness of antifungal treatment in invasive non-Aspergillus mold infections are currently unavailable.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine reverberates through the realm of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), amplifying challenges across various fronts. Supply chains, essential to the timely delivery of laboratory essentials, are experiencing disruptions resulting in shortages and delays on key tests which directly impact patient care. Furthermore, the conflict-induced damage to laboratory infrastructure and sporadic interruptions in power supply compound the problem, impeding the accurate execution of AST and complicating treatment decisions for healthcare providers. Displacement of skilled healthcare workers is an additional complication in the current shortage, affecting laboratory capacity and adversely affecting AST's effectiveness. In addition, the global collaboration and sharing of data could be impeded by geopolitical tensions that would prevent efforts to detect antibiotic resistance trends and develop efficient strategies. These complex challenges underline the need to develop a coordinated approach to addressing AST in conflict zones, as well as protecting public health against antimicrobial resistance around the world, calling for an immediate effort.

Impact of Economic slowdown

A reduction in the number of patients and, consequently, a reduction in the demand for AST can result from reduced demand for healthcare services, in particular non urgent treatments. This decrease in demand can further strain laboratory resources, and could lead to an underutilisation of AST capacity. In addition, the challenges faced by healthcare facilities in maintaining and upgrading AST infrastructure are exacerbated by limited access to finance due to economic slowdown.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
