To detect the viral RNA in human body; nasopharyngeal swab and deep nasal swab techniques are being used. The overall market is primarily driven by increased rate of flu in various regions. As per CDC, 2019-20 season has witnessed close to 20 Mn cases of influenza in the U.S. with 280,000 hospitalizations as on Feb 15, 2020.

At the same time, efforts taken by respective governments to increase awareness about flu, coupled with initiatives undertaken by World Health Organization (WHO), Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), etc. are expected to drive the market.
