The Swab And Viral Transport Medium Market Size is valued at 8.09 Billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 13.16 Billion by the year 2031 at a 6.47 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Viral transport medium is used to collect, transport, maintain and store the clinical specimens containing viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma or ureaplasma organisms. A viral skin swab is lightly rubbed against a visible skin lesion or vesicle and then sent to the laboratory in a viral transport medium for other viral cell culture and virus identification.
The Global Swab and viral transport medium market is expected to offer lucrative growth in the near future due to an increase in demand for swabs & viral transport medium because of the current COVID-19 pandemic. The substantial increase in the diagnostic tests for COVID-19, and the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases across the globe, coupled with the growth of the diagnostics industry, is likely to drive the global market during the forecast period.
The Global swab and viral transport medium market is segmented on the basis of product, application, end-users, and region. Based on the product, the market is divided into swab type and transport medium.
On the basis of application, the market is divided into viral infection diagnosis and others. On the basis of End Users, the market is divided into hospitals & clinics, microbiology laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and others.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
