North America has witnessed a growing number of COVID-19 cases since its outbreak. For instance, according to Worldometer, as of November 27, 2020, the number of cases increased to 13,248,676, with 269,555 deaths reported in the US. The cases are also increasing in Mexico and Canada. In Mexico, COVID had reached 1,078,594 with 104,242 deaths. Similarly, there were about 353,097 COVID-19 cases in Canada, with 11,799 reported deaths. Samples are taken from places likely to have high virus concentration, i.e., from the back of the nose or mouth or through a bronchoalveolar lavage. Thus, swab collection is a vital step in effectively diagnosing an active infection of the novel coronavirus in the body. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) have established standard methods and recommendations for manufacturers to create COVID-19 sample collection and transport kits. With the rising number of hospitals expanding their testing capabilities, the demand for swab collection kits is escalating across North America.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the North America swabs collection kit market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
