ESR ANALYZER MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global ESR Analyzer Market - Drivers

Increasing number of infections leading to various health hazards will contribute to increasing number of ESR tests, which in turn will drive the global ESR analyzer market. According to the World Health Organization, in 2018, healthcare associated infection was about 10% and surgical site infections were 50%.  ESR is one of the basic hematological test, which is performed to identify various disease conditions that would contribute to growth of global ESR analyzer market. Technological upgrades leading to development of automated ESR analyzers would also contribute to the global ESR analyzer market growth.

Furthermore, adoption of advanced semi-automatic and automatic ESR analyzers in the healthcare industry are among the prime factors driving the global ESR analyzer market growth. On the other hand, requirement of lesser workforce and is ultimately fueling the global ESR analyzer market growth. Increase in usage of ESR analyzers in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and academic institutions drives growth of the global ESR analyzer market.

Moreover, manufacturers are developing advanced systems such as automated ESR analyzers to provide instant detection rate. For instance, in July 2018, Streck and Diesse Diagnostica Senese introduced the Cube 30 Touch, an automated instrument for high volume erythrocyte sedimentation rate testing in Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes. The analyzer produces ESR results directly from EDTA tubes without consuming the patient sample. Furthermore, in September 2013, Beckman Coulter, Inc., and IRIS Diagnostics announced the launch of the Alifax automated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analysis system through a distribution agreement with Alifax S.r.l.

Key players in the global ESR analyzer market are adopting distribution agreements that allow the company to enhance revenue in various regions. For instance, in March 2017, Sysmex America signed a distribution agreement with Alifax S.r.l. for its erythrocytes sedimentation rate products. Alifax ESR analyzers are an exciting addition in the Sysmex portfolio. In response to the market needs for quick results, the Alifax Test1 and Roller 20, a family of automated analyzers, offer ESR results in 20 seconds.
