Chlamydia Infection Diagnostics and Therapeutics Market
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, and it can be transmitted to baby at birth. Chlamydia infection usually doesn’t have any symptoms but often infected may have symptoms such as genital pain and genital discharge both in men and women. Furthermore, chlamydia infection can cause health complications such as preventing women from getting pregnant or even endangering their pregnancies. Some people may experience pain in lower abdomen, pelvis, testicle or vagina and may also have eye discharge or spotting. Treatment may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, and hospital stay may be required.
Market Dynamics: Chlamydia Infection Diagnostics and Therapeutics Market
Global chlamydia infection diagnostics and therapeutics market is mainly driven by an increase in prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. Furthermore, emergence of rapid test and advances in biotechnology are expected to boost the chlamydia infection diagnostics and therapeutics market. In addition, increase in R&D activities towards development of therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant bacteria and initiatives by government and non-government agencies (such as World Health Organization (WHO) to increase awareness about STD’s and their symptoms are expected to bolster the chlamydia diagnostics and therapeutics market during the forecast period. However, high cost of development, stringent regulatory procedures for the approval and bacterial drug resistance is expected to hamper the chlamydia infection diagnostics and therapeutics market.
