According to a new
market report published by Transparency Market Research “E.coliTesting Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2022,” the global E.coli testing market
was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2013 and is estimated to reach USD
2.1 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 6.58% from 2014 to 2022.
Escherichia coli
(E.coli) infections are common across all the parts of the world.The
bacterium is known to cause frequent food- or water-borne and urinary
tract infections. According to an article published in the Journal
Emerging Infectious Diseases, E.coli accounts for over 85% of all
urinary tract infections.Rapid development of drug resistance and
their frequent outbreaks through contaminated food have raised
serious health concerns.Epidemic of Shiga toxin producing E.coli
strain O104:H4 in Germany was one the largest E.coli
outbreaks.Therefore, the demand for rapid and accurate methods for
detecting E.coli in clinical and environmental samples has increased
considerably.

Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), U.S.has approved three methods for testing
environmental water samples; these include membrane filtration,
multiple tube fermentation or most probable number (MPN), and
enzyme-substrate reaction based presence or absence (P/A) tests. MPN
is one of the oldest method of E.coli enumeration, and is being
replaced by membrane filtration method to a large extent. With
membrane filtration method, large volume of water samples can be
tested, and more accurate results can be provided as compared to
multiple tube fermentation method. P/A tests are qualitative tests
that produce colored substrate indicating presence of E.coli in water
sample. P/A test is easy to perform, and does not require a skilled
personnel. Further sophisticated laboratory equipment are not
required for accurate test results; wherein only a small or medium
size incubator is required to store test bottles. Due to these
factors, P/A tests are rapidly capitalizing the E.coli testing
market. Based on similar principal, the P/A tests have been modified
to provide quantitative MPN count of E.coli in water sample. IDEXX
Laboratories Colilert, Colisure, and Quanti-Tray are leading products
in the market approved by the EPA. Various local players manufacture
similar qualitative tests, however due to the absence of standard
regulatory approvals, these tests do not contribute significantly to
the overall market.

From the point of
view of test kits, P/A test kits account for majority of the volume
sale; however, from the point of view of number of tests performed,
membrane filtration method takes the lead.Key reason being majority
of the membrane filtration tests are not performed using ready-to-use
kits; individual laboratory apparatus are used to perform the
tests.This trend is more evident in low- and middle-income countries,
as this is a cost effective alternative to P/A test kits. Revenue
wise enzyme-substrate tests account for 80% of the market share,
while volume wise these tests account for 40% share.
In 2013, Europe
dominated the global E.coli testing market due to outbreak of
foodborne infection in Germany in 2011 caused by Escherichia coli
O104:H4 strain. In addition, rapidly growing bottled water industry
also support the dominance of the region. The E.coli testing market
in Asia Pacific was valued at USD 14.99 million in 2013 and is
expanding at a CAGR of 6.92% from 2014 to 2022.Asia Pacific consists
of the most promising economies such as India and China, while Japan
is a leading market in the region. Water pollution has become a major
crisis in China. An article published in Nature in June 2014 stated
that over 200 million individuals fall ill due to acquisition of
water borne diseases in China each year.
