The market witnessed revenues of around USD 9.5 billion in 2024, spurred by heightened awareness of respiratory infections such as COVID-19, influenza, and other viral diseases. Swabs and VTMs are critical in safely collecting, preserving, and transporting specimens, ensuring reliable results in laboratories and point-of-care (POC) settings worldwide.

Industry Growth Trends and Drivers
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated market demand by highlighting the need for efficient and scalable testing solutions. Hospitals and diagnostic laboratories are investing heavily in infrastructure upgrades to reduce disease detection time while maximizing accuracy. Consequently, manufacturers are innovating safer, eco-friendly, and globally compliant swabs and transport media.

Global outbreaks, urbanization, and climate change contribute to the rising risk of viral infections across borders. Early detection through reliable specimen collection enables governments and healthcare organizations to respond rapidly, reinforcing the market's sustained growth trajectory.

Market Segmentation and Key Insights
The virus swabs segment is forecasted to dominate, accounting for 59% of the market share in 2025 due to their pivotal role in respiratory viral specimen collection. The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) segment is also set to lead applications with a 32.6% share, reflecting rising demand for accurate diagnosis of chickenpox and shingles, particularly among aging populations.

Semi-annual projections indicate the market CAGR for H1 2025 at 2.7%, with H2 maintaining a moderate 2.4%, reflecting a natural market stabilization over the decade.
