Hence, it is expected to impetus market growth.

Technological advancements associated with gastrointestinal diagnostics for early diagnosis and efficient testing are expected to augment market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, Luminex Corporation obtained a CE mark for its NxTAGxMAP GI Pathogen Panel. This test is a detailed multiplex test that detects nucleic acids from the 16 most clinically relevant viral, parasitic, and bacterial pathogens in stool samples. Moreover, the test is capable of providing results on the same day and can run 96 samples at a time.

Moreover, the presence of organizations involved in increasing awareness regarding gastrointestinal disorders is expected to facilitate market expansion. For instance, organizations such as the Gastrointestinal Society (Canadian Society of Intestinal Research) and the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders are actively involved in promoting gastrointestinal health and broadening the understanding of GI disorders, thereby augmenting market growth.

Furthermore, various strategic initiatives undertaken by market players to strengthen their product portfolio and expand global footprints are likely to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market. For instance, in November 2021, The Life Raft Group and Bayer Pharmaceuticals announced a research collaboration for broadening access to genomic testing for GI stromal tumor patients. The aim of this collaboration is to advance precision medicine and improve genetic testing to identify patients in the U.S.

In addition, in June 2021, Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. announced an agreement with MultiPlan for accessing specialized gastrointestinal testing.
