In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) is a group of medical tests and diagnostic procedures that are conducted outside of the human body, usually in a laboratory setting. The phrase "in vitro" comes from the Latin for "in glass," and IVD tests are performed on samples of blood, urine, tissues, or other bodily fluids or substances rather than on the patient's body itself. These tests are an important part of healthcare because they give critical information for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating a variety of medical disorders.
Japan In-Vitro Diagnostics Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- The diagnosis of chronic and infectious disorders will drive market expansion throughout the forecast period. Infectious illness diagnosis refers to laboratory tests performed by experienced professionals under the supervision of physicians. The diagnostic lab market is expanding due to the increased frequency of chronic and infectious diseases such as influenza, HIV, AIDS, COVID-19, and hepatitis. Furthermore, as infectious and chronic diseases become increasingly prevalent, diagnostic labs are receiving funding from both private and public organisations to improve their testing infrastructure. In addition, technical improvements in the field of infectious disease diagnostics are helping to drive market expansion. Individuals' increased awareness of early detection and management of infectious diseases, as well as the increasing number of information technology systems launching innovative diagnostic equipment, are projected to boost the Japan diagnostic labs market during the forecast period.
Challenges- The major obstacle impeding the market's expansion is the shortage of qualified personnel. The bulk of crucial diagnostic procedures, including molecular diagnostics, immunoassay, and clinical chemistry, require skilled workers with enhanced dexterity to handle instruments and carry out the procedure precisely. To operate these gadgets, there is a dearth of qualified workers in the market. Furthermore, various reasons contribute to this gap, including the immigration of well-established skilled specialists from developing nations to developed countries, a lack of standardisation and specified curriculum knowledge on techniques, and a lack of sufficient training in device operation. Furthermore, the necessity for costly and multiyear theoretical courses to become trained professionals or technicians adds to the skilled professional shortage. As a result, it is likely to impede market growth throughout the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19 on Japan In-Vitro Diagnostics Market
The COVID-19 epidemic has become a global stress test, with the disease infecting around 475 million individuals globally. In Japan, the COVID-19 disease has infected nearly 6.15 million people (as of March 23, 2022), with 27,246 deaths. The number continues to rise, and the pandemic's duration remains unpredictable. The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the growth of the Japan IVD market in 2020, as normal procedures have been delayed due to social restrictions and other cautious measures implemented in reaction to the pandemic. However, as governments lifted social restraints, the downward trend in these enterprises' income began to level off and stabilise by the third quarter of 2020.
