Global Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Market Overview, Trends, Size and Forecast: 2025-2030

The Global Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Market size is valued at around USD5.01 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD9.24 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 13.01% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The important factors driving this consistent growth are a high number of respiratory illnesses across the globe, technological advancements in diagnostics, and a growing focus on the detection of infectious diseases.

Respiratory illnesses affect a large number of people around the world and are among the leading causes of death globally. Influenza affects 1 billion people and causes 300,000-650,000 deaths every year. Chronic respiratory illnesses cause millions of deaths and affect tens of millions of people every year. This is increasing the importance of detecting these diseases and creating a strong foundational demand for respiratory pathogen testing kits across the globe.

Moreover, the market share of respiratory testing kits is also growing because of improvements in diagnostic technologies. This is leading to the detection of multiple pathogens from a single sample and reducing the cost and time involved in testing. Innovative products like bioMérieux’s BioFire FilmArray can detect 20+ pathogens within 45 minutes. Market demand for respiratory pathogen testing kits is further increasing because of investments and collaborations between industry players and government agencies.

Although the market faces a considerable challenge in the form of regulatory complexity and fragmentation, strong market growth in the coming years is supported by emerging markets and the rapid adoption of easy-to-use multiplex kits, further states the research report, “Global Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Market Analysis, 2025.”

Global Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Market Segmentation Insights:

RT-PCR-Based Kits Generate Maximum Market Demand

Based on test type, the market is further segmented into RT-PCR-based kits, antigen detection kits, antibody detection kits, isothermal nucleic acid amplification kits, and others. Among these, RT-PCR kits represent the dominant segment, with their market share estimated to be around 35-40%. The segment has a high demand because of high accuracy and the ability of RT-PCR kits to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously.

RT-PCR kits can detect low viral loads with a very high accuracy of 95+% and have a very low possibility of false positives. Hospitals and testing labs are thus preferring these kits as they are very useful in the treatment of disease symptoms. The ability to detect multiple pathogens from a single sample further improves the usefulness of these kits. Testing facilities can process test samples quickly and accelerate the detection of diseases. This is leading to widespread use of these kits and contributing to a strong market demand in this segment.

Global Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Market Regional Analysis:

North America Leads the Respiratory Pathogen Testing Kits Industry

North America dominates the other regions in the market with a share of about 34-42% because of the presence of advanced healthcare facilities, strong innovation, and a culture of routine diagnostic testing in the region.

North America has a high demand for testing kits because healthcare and testing facilities are spread across the region. This enables access to diagnostic testing in a region that has a high rate of respiratory illnesses. More than 14 million people are affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in North America every year. The region has high innovation capabilities because of funding and the presence of major industry players like Roche. Market demand is also high in North America due to the awareness about the early detection of respiratory illnesses.
