North America Transport Media Product Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis– by Product (Viral Transport Medium, Universal Transport Medium, Molecular Transport Medium, and Others), Application (Diagnosis and Preclinical Testing), and End-User (Hospitals and Clinics, Microbiology Laboratories, Diagnostic Laboratories, and Others)

The North America transport media product market is expected to reach US$ 1,589.65 million by 2028 from US$ 1,207.47 million in 2022; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2022 to 2028.  

Over a billion COVID-19 tests have been conducted in the US as of May 10th, 2022. For accurate and reliable results of tests, the quality of the specimen and the conditions under which the specimen is transported and stored before being processed are crucial. For this, the use of viral transport medium became common and saw an exponential rise in demand. The most commonly used viral transport media were the screw cap plastic tube containing buffered proteins and antibiotics to prevent the growth of contaminants, such as bacteria and fungi. Many companies started mass production of viral transport medium for nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab specimens for transport to diagnostic laboratories for confirmation. Also, many universities and research organizations supported the production process through the reduction in research projects to prevent infection spread at workplaces and shifted their operations to custom production of viral transport medium to produce COVID-19 test kits. For instance, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, in collaboration with its related laboratories and students, produced 254,791 viral transport media testing tubes for prompt distribution throughout the state of Ohio.

Amid COVID-19 pandemic, robust and large-scale testing is necessary to prevent impacts and life loss. This is expected to drive the market for transport media, especially viral transport media, in the coming years. Furthermore, apart from COVID-19, various other infectious disease outbreaks are becoming common, which require rapid testing and research work. Therefore, the North America transport media product market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
