Launch of new antigen tests will support the Latin America COVID-19 diagnostics Market in 2020

Published: Oct 2020

The Latin American COVID-19 diagnostics market will see a decline in CAGR of 19.5% during the forecast period. As Latin American countries are significantly expanding their testing capacity every month, the demand for RT-PCR testing has been emerging across these countries. For instance, on 6th May 2020, the Brazilian Health Ministry declared a national testing plan to curb and combat the COVID-19 pandemic. It had declared the target of buying 46 million tests. The program comprises dubbed Confirma COVID-19, which includes the lab test, referred to as RT-PCR. The objective is to buy a total of 24 million RT-PCR tests, suitable for people running symptoms until the eighth day since the infection.

Additionally, the launch of new antigen tests may offer an opportunity for the increasing adoption of antigen tests in the country. Antigen tests can detect the presence of viral proteins in a biological sample, including saliva or tissue swabbed from the nasal cavity. These tests are normally cost-effective and provide results in minutes, as well as reveals an active infection. The antigen test that is available in Brazil includes QuickProfile COVID-19 Antigen Test, offered by Lumiquick Diagnostics, Inc. It is a method of the target antigen (or antibody) capture in samples with the use of a specific antibody (or antigen), and target molecule detection/quantitation using an enzyme reaction with its substrate. Emerging shift towards faster detection of COVID-19 and increasing focus of biotechnology companies and research institutes towards the development of more accurate and faster tests, is creating possibilities for the launch of new COVID-19 tests, including antigen test, in Latin American countries.
