The market was worth US$1,936.1 million in 2013 and is expected to be valued at US$2,619.4 million by the end of 2020.The World Health Organization has recognized tuberculosis (TB) as the second greatest killer worldwide, after HIV/AIDS. In 2013, 1.5 million people died from the disease across the globe. High prevalence of the disease has led to the increased acceptance of various TB testing techniques. Various government and non-government initiatives taken to promote awareness about TB and about the control programs will fuel the demand for various TB tests.

Latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis are the two most common forms of TB. Over time, the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for causing tuberculosis, has developed potent and drug-resistant strains such as multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis. Growing demand for improved TB testing procedures and equipment will push the growth of the global tuberculosis testing market. However, the report cites that the high cost of tuberculosis tests will hamper the overall global demand. According to the WHO, in 2013, the largest number of new TB cases were diagnosed in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific region. The emerging economies in these regions are expected to open new opportunities for the global tuberculosis testing market.
