Growing Prevalence of Legionella in Potable Water During the COVID-19 Crisis Augmenting the Market Growth

The market for legionella testing is being aided by the growing prevalence of legionella outbreaks in various buildings, such as hotels, cruise ships, and hospitals. As the COVID-19 infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 was similar to Legionnaires’ disease, mostly affecting people with weak immune systems, the demand for legionella testing significantly surged. The shutdown of manufacturing operations and businesses for an extended period of time due to the implementation of government-mandated lockdowns during the pandemic led to the stagnancy of potable water, due to which the demand for legionella testing increased to prevent the risk of Legionnaires’ disease among the employees and consumers, therefore augmenting the market growth. The trend is expected to continue in the forecast period owing to the resurgence of the virus and constant mutation of SARS-CoV-2, leading to more fatal outcomes, which is projected to propel the market growth.

Legionella Testing: Market Segmentation

Legionella testing refers to the test that detects the presence of legionella bacteria or antigen in humans and water bodies. It is essential in hot and stagnant water to prevent the risk of legionella outbreak, which can potentially be fatal to high-risk individuals. Legionella testing is typically done by deploying antigen and molecular testing methods, in which a sample of urine or sputum is collected to be analysed in a laboratory.

Rising Demand for Water Treatment to Bolster the Growth of the Legionella Testing Industry

The increasing prevalence of various microbes in water that can lead to adverse health issues is surging the demand for water treatment. This is also increasing the presence of legionella that can colonise artificial water systems and equipment, hence surging the demand for managing potable water. Hence, the growing demand for legionella testing in public-accessed buildings, fountains, care facilities and hospitals, and cooling towers, is propelling the market growth. In addition, the introduction of various initiatives by both governments and organisations to increase awareness regarding the risk of legionella growth is further augmenting the industry growth. For instance, the United Kingdom government instructed all businesses and other services to initiate vital checks such as legionella testing to prevent the risk of Legionnaires’ disease in March 2021. Such initiatives are projected to bolster the market growth in the upcoming years.
