The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) diagnostics market’s growth is fueled by the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant infection and demand for effective diagnostic tests. AMR poses a worldwide threat to global health and causes increased hospitalization, extra healthcare costs, and increased mortality. With healthcare systems facing the threat, the market for new diagnostics has expanded to a greater extent.

Key Findings of the Market Report

• Microbial Culture remains the dominant technology, holding a 51.5% revenue share in 2025. It remains the "gold standard" for phenotypic testing, though its slow turnaround is being challenged by molecular methods.
• PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is the leading molecular segment, favored for its high accuracy and rapid identification of specific resistance genes like mecA (MRSA) or vanA/B (VRE).
• Hospitals are the primary end-users, accounting for ~59% of the market share in 2025. The high incidence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) makes rapid AMR screening a critical operational priority.
• North America held the largest market share in 2025 (38%), supported by robust surveillance systems and high healthcare spending.
• Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, driven by rising antibiotic misuse and massive government investments in laboratory infrastructure across China and India.

Global AMR Diagnostics Market: Growth Drivers

• Rise of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Pathogens: The increasing prevalence of MRSA, CRE, and MDR-Tuberculosis is a primary driver. With AMR projected to cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050, diagnostic speed has become a matter of global security.
• Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP): Governments and the WHO are mandating stewardship programs that require definitive diagnostic proof before "last-resort" antibiotics (like carbapenems) are prescribed.
• Technological Innovation (AI & NGS): AI-powered image analysis and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) are enabling "Culture-Free" diagnostics, allowing clinicians to identify resistance profiles directly from blood or sputum samples in record time.
• Point-of-Care (PoC) Expansion: Portable AMR testing is expanding into non-hospital settings, such as nursing homes and clinics, which helps contain outbreaks at the source.

Global AMR Diagnostics Market: Regional Landscape

• North America: The most mature market. Growth is fueled by CDC-led surveillance initiatives and the rapid adoption of automated microbiology systems in large hospital networks.
• Europe: Heavily focused on the "One Health" approach. Strong regulatory frameworks (EU Fertilising Products Regulation and EMA guidelines) favor the integration of diagnostics with therapeutic protocols.
• Asia-Pacific: The center of market growth. Increasing healthcare accessibility and the rise of private diagnostic laboratory chains in India and China are significantly boosting volumes.

Global AMR Diagnostics Market: Key Players

The landscape is a mix of IVD (In-Vitro Diagnostics) giants and specialized biotech firms focusing on rapid phenotypic technologies.

• bioMérieux SA (Global leader in microbiology and AST)
• Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD)
• Danaher Corporation (Cepheid)
• Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
• Abbott Laboratories
• F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.
• Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (Pioneer in rapid phenotypic AST)
• Qiagen N.V.
• OpGen, Inc.
• T2 Biosystems, Inc.

Recent Developments (2025–2026)

• January 2026: Achieve Life Sciences and other research entities highlighted the transition toward Microbial Consortia analysis, using AI to predict resistance even in polymicrobial infections.
• Late 2025: bioMérieux received expanded CE marks for its VITEK systems, incorporating deeper AI-driven databases to identify emerging resistant strains faster.
• October 2025: OpGen announced increased clinical adoption of its Acuitas AMR Gene Panel, which identifies 28 genetic markers across multiple pathogens from a single sample.
