Impact of COVID-19 on Global Microfluidic Devices Market
The COVID-19 outbreak has become a global stress test. As the number of people infected with the virus continues to rise around the world, uncertainties about global economic growth increases. The COVID-19 disease has infected around 553 Million people worldwide. Globally the death toll has reached 6,358,211 according to the latest statistics from the Worldometers (as of July 1, 2022). The number is still growing, and the duration of the pandemic is still difficult to predict. COVID-19 has positively impacted the microfluidics market. As countries work to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for effective diagnostic testing has been front and center. Microfluidics has gained a lot of attention with respect to the diagnosis of COVID-19. For instance, US-based researchers from Broad Institute have developed a CRISPR-based molecular diagnostics stage with the help of microfluidics chips to detect viruses in human samples. This single chip has the potential to detect a single virus in more than 1,000 samples at a time. With the outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 every country is increasing expenditure on healthcare, research & development, lab testing devices where the microfluidics also plays a vital role which is likely to boost the growth of the market.
