However, the SSI testing and pneumonia testing segments will also exhibit high demand from developing countries in Asia Pacific in the next few years. In this region, the growth of the hospital acquired disease testing market has been beneficial for progressive clinical research into the behavior of various pathogens. The increasing demand for reduced healthcare costs from both healthcare institutions and patients has been aiding growth of the hospital acquired disease testing market and its allied markets as well.
