Additionally, for immunoassays targeted at COVID-19 testing, there was a shortage of the same as demand for such kits and reagents had skyrocketed, while the production rate and laboratory testing capacities could not cope-up. To overcome such challenges, key players also expanded their manufacturing capabilities to meet demand. For instance, in July 2020, Becton, Dickinson and Company (BC) (US) received USD 24 million investment by the US government to ramp up manufacturing for its BD Veritor SARS-CoV-2 immunoassay tests to cater to global demand. Such initiatives aided in strengthening the supply chain. Similarly, in November 2022, Bio-Techne Corporation (US) also announced its opening of a 52,000 square foot immunoassay manufacturing facility in the US. Hence, the pandemic had moderately impacted the global immunoassays in R&D market.

The COVID-19 pandemic had positively impacted on players operating in the market. This is especially due to the new wave of demand and interest that has come into immunoassays and its applications in COIVD-19 research & vaccines development, and its diagnosis. Players such as BD (US), Roche (Switzerland) and Abbott (US) reported significant increase in sales of its immunoassay products owing to the pandemic. However, as the effects of the pandemic started to diminish, number of cases decline, and majority of the populations got vaccinated and the positive effects on revenue was expected to dry-up and return to normalcy. Hence, the pandemic had a positive impact on the market players.
