The report, Global GI Stool Testing Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape of the global BI and analytics platform market and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
Stool tests are used for the diagnosis of GI disorders and help detect parasite infection, inflammation, bleeding obstruction, and tumors in the GI tract and digestive system. The diagnosis of GI diseases is commonly done through laboratory tests using antigen or culture detection from stool samples. A stool test is of two categories: fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and clinical microbiological stool tests. These tests are either antibody-based or microbial particle-based detection methods, which include immunoassay, CLIA, and molecular diagnostic testing. Stool tests are used for the screening of colorectal cancer as well as the detection of pathogens such as C. difficile, H. pylora, Rotavirus, and Adenovirus.
Point-of-care diagnostic tests for infectious diseases and cancer can be performed at or near the site of patient care. These tests offer patients timely access to care and treatment, reducing the overall probability of disease transmission.
According to the report, many companies are expanding into emerging countries, such as India, China, and Brazil, as these economies have significant growth potential. The implementation of government initiatives to build healthcare infrastructure, increase healthcare budgets, and advance technology propel market growth in these countries.
Further, the report states that gastrointestinal stool tests face stiff competition from their alternatives. Stool tests such as FIT can sometimes give false positive or negative results during colorectal cancer screening. In comparison, colonoscopy and CT colonography tests provide accurate results. For this reason, many medical professionals prefer these procedures to stool tests for the detection of colorectal cancer.
