Importance

Microorganisms are extremely important in our everyday lives. Some are responsible for a significant proportion of the diseases affecting not only humans, but also plants and animals, while others are vitally important in the maintenance and modification of our environment. Still others play an essential role in industry, where their unique properties have been harnessed in the production of food, beverages and antibiotics. Scientists also have learned how to exploit microorganisms in the field of molecular biology, which makes an enormous impact both industrially and medically. Microbiology also encompasses immunology, the study of the body’s ability to mount defenses against infectious microbes.

Because microbiology, by definition, studies organisms not visible to the naked eye, we can consider late-17th-century Dutch scientist Antony van Leeuwenhoek the father of the discipline. Leeuwenhoek was the first person to describe tiny cells and bacteria, and he invented new methods for grinding and polishing microscope lenses that allowed for curvatures providing magnifications of up to 270 diameters, the best available lenses at that time. But while van Leeuwenhoek is cited as the first microbiologist, the first recorded microbiological observation — the fruiting bodies of molds — were made earlier, in 1665, by English physicist Robert Hooke.

Finally, some of the most important discoveries affecting public health occurred in the 20th century, such as the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, which started a rush to find other natural, and eventually synthetic, antibiotics; the development of vital vaccines, including those for polio and yellow fever; and the birth of molecular biology, which happened in the 1940s with the study of bacteria.

Global Market

The global clinical microbiology market is projected to reach USD 5.77 Billion by 2021 from USD 3.35 Billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2016 to 2021. Market growth can be attributed to factors such as the technological advancements; rising incidence of infectious diseases and growing outbreak of epidemics; growing healthcare expenditure across the world; and increasing funding, research grants, and public-private investments in the field of life science researches.

The consumables, equipment and technology markets in the microbiology industry totaled nearly $7.7 billion in 2012. This total is expected to grow from $8.5 billion in 2013 to $11.4 billion in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% for the five-year period, 2013 to 2018.

In 2016, North America and Europe are expected to be the mature markets for clinical microbiology products. However, emerging regions such as Asia-Pacific (including Japan, China, and India) are expected to become the new revenue-generating pockets in the market in the next five years. The North American market is expected to hold the largest share of the global market in 2016. However, the Asia-Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing number of hospitals and clinical diagnostic laboratories in India and China; expanding research capabilities for the development of innovative and affordable clinical microbiology testing procedures across India, China, and Japan; and rising incidences of infectious diseases.

Europe is expected to hold the second-largest share of the global clinical microbiology market in 2016. This prominent market position of the European market is due to factors such as rising acceptance of genome-based diagnostic techniques by healthcare professionals, supportive government policies that ease public accessibility to diagnostic assay procedures (including clinical microbiology), large number of clinical microbiology procedures performed annually across the region, presence of a large number of biotechnology and molecular diagnostic companies, rapid growth in the aging population, and growing incidence of infectious diseases.
