Asia Pacific IVD Market Segmentation 

Country Wise Review

Country wise, it is analyzed across India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. Japan accounted for the highest share of the market in 2016, followed by China. India is anticipated to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. In addition, this region is expected to emerge as the area with maximum growth potential due to the focus of key players in the emerging economies and improvement in the healthcare infrastructure.

Increase in Prevalence of Non-communicable and Communicable Diseases

According to WHO, number of deaths due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is estimated to increase from 36 million deaths in 2010 to 44 million deaths in 2020; out of which the highest prevalence of NCDs is accounted in Western Pacific (12.3 million deaths) and South-East-Asia (10.4 million deaths) regions. According to OECD, Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2014, OECD reported that four out of five countries in world; with the highest number of incident cases of tuberculosis, were in the Asia-Pacific region.

Increase in Geriatric Population

Geriatric population in Asia-Pacific has increased significantly and is vulnerable to various communicable and non-communicable diseases. According to the U.S. Census Bureau report “An Aging World: 2015” currently 7.9% of Asia population comprises of population aged 65 and over and this percentage is predicted to increase nearly 12.1% by 2030 and is anticipated to further increase to nearly 18.8% by 2050. Currently, Asia leads the world in speed of aging and size of older population and continue to lead during the forecast period. Therefore, the escalation in rate of the geriatric population is expected to raise the demand for diagnosis, thereby driving the IVD market.

Increasing Government Expenditures on Healthcare

There is a widespread awareness about spread of disease in Asia-Pacific countries and its impacts on the health. Hence, the government of all the regions have increased their healthcare expenditures for reducing the disease rate in the countries. According to the IMF World Economic Outlook database projections, the GDP of Asia is anticipated to increase from 5.3% in 2016 to 5.4% in 2018. Whereas, it also estimated that GDP of Pacific Island countries and other small states increased from 3.4% in 2016 to 3.8% in 2018. According to the WHO, the Japans’ government healthcare expenditure has increased from 20.12% in 2013 to 20.28% in 2014. The increase in Asia-Pacific economic conditions are expected to increase government funding in healthcare sector, which in turn contributes to the increase in the IVD market growth.
