Global Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market Size, Trends & Growth Opportunity, By Swab Type (Oropharyngeal Swabs, Nasopharyngeal Swabs, and Others) By Application (Diagnosis of Certain Viral Infections, and Preclinical Testing), By Region and Forecast till 2027.
Global Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market
The Global Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market is expected to grow from US$ 2.4 Billion in 2021 to US$ 5.6 Billion by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.17% from 2022 to 2027.

Market Overview
Swab and viral transport medium is defined as collection and transport system which is used for the transport, collection, and long term freezing of clinical samples containing viruses such as COVID-19, mycoplasma, ureaplasma organism, and Chlamydia.
Market Drivers
Rise in demand for swabs and viral transport medium due to COVID-19 pandemic is the key driving factor which is expected to significantly boost the global swab and viral transport medium market growth. Furthermore, increase in use of viral transport medium in microbiology laboratories as well as diagnostic laboratories will have the positive impact on market growth. Moreover, increase in investments in diagnostic kits, equipments, and accessories expected to drive the market growth during this forecast period. Also, increase in geriatric population and adoption of diagnostic tests will fuel the market growth.
Market Restraints
However, less healthcare expenditures in developing countries as well as irregular distribution of medical services are the major challenging factors which are expected to hamper the global swab and viral transport medium market growth.
Impact of Covid-19
Infectious disease COVID-19 was first discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan in the Hubei region in late December. SARS-CoV-2, a virus that causes the severe acute respiratory syndrome, spreads from person to person and is extremely infectious. The disease has spread to nearly 213 nations since its outbreak in December 2019, prompting the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency on March 11, 2020. However, COVID-19 has interrupted the supply chain of the raw materials needed to produce swabs and viral transport medium in many nations. Additionally, as diagnostic kit producers have slowed down their output as a result of the pandemic, the market development for diagnostic products is declining.
