Test Type Insights

The market based on the test types has been segmented into ELISA, PCR and other tests. The ELISA is major contributor in the poultry diagnostics market. ELISA tests is used for the various types of avian influenza which has frequent outbreaks in various regions. Additionally, ELISA test is accurate, cost efficient and has greater sensitivity & specificity. All these factors contributed to the significant share of ELISA tests.

PCR based test followed ELISA test and held more than 30.0% share in 2016. These tests are mainly used for the Mycoplasma infections, Newcastle and various types of influenza. Other tests are in uncharted territories which include serological tests and microbiological tests.

Disease Type Insights

Avian Influenza led the market with more than 24.0% share in 2016. Frequent outbreaks of influenza (bird flu) in Southeast Asian and African countries contributed to the substantial share.

Domestic birds is generally infected by the low pathogenic type causing respiratory diseases, decline in egg production and subclinical infections. In few cases, high pathogenic (HPAI) form may also infect domestic flocks. The high pathogenic type causes systemic infections and mortality.

Other disease which includes various emerging infections and rare diseases are estimated to grow with a lucrative rate over the forecast period. ALV-J virus, and poult enteritis and mortality syndrome (PEMS) are a couple of emerging poultry disease which is gaining interest among veterinary diagnostics products developers. Availability of advanced diagnostic techniques facilitated detection of these rare infections.

Avian Salmonellosis is considered to be main bacteria caused disease in the this vertical. Infections such as Pullorum disease, paratyphoid, and fowl typhoid are caused due to Salmonella infections. Salmonella infection is most commonly observed in chicken and turkey.

Regional Insights 

North America led global poultry diagnostic market with more than 35.0% share in 2016.
