Rising Prevalence of Hospital-associated Infections Fueling Market Growth
Coherent Market Insights’ Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market report highlights key factors driving the industry’s growth. Increasing prevalence of hospital-associated infections (HAIs) like surgical site infections and urinary tract infections is one such prominent factor.
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) or nosocomial infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hundreds of millions of patients are affected by HAIs each year.
These infections often require accurate diagnosis through cultural tests to initiate timely treatment. Therefore, rising incidence of HAIs is expected to play a key role in boosting Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market growth.
Shift Towards Rapid Diagnostics Techniques Restraining Market Growth
The future Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market outlook looks bright. However, growing adoption of rapid diagnostic techniques is expected to limit market growth to some extent.
Healthcare professionals and patients across Europe and MEA are increasingly turning to faster molecular diagnostics like NGS and PCR. This is due to their increased accuracy, speed, and ability to detect a wide range of pathogens.
Traditional culture tests can take 24 to 72 hours or longer to yield results. This delay is encouraging a shift towards rapid diagnostic tests like PCR, leading to reduced Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market demand.

Rising Adoption of Infection Control Measures Creating Growth Opportunities
Both public and healthcare professionals across Europe and the MEA are increasingly recognizing the importance of robust infection control measures. This growing awareness is fueling demand for hospital-associated infection diagnostics like culture tests.
Europe has robust infection control regulations and policies requiring routine screening and quick diagnosis of HAIs. Many MEA countries are adopting similar European-inspired strategies to improve infection control and tackle HAIs and antimicrobial resistance. This will create lucrative growth opportunities for culture test product manufacturers in these regions.
Impact of AI on Europe and MEA Culture Test for HAIs Market
Artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly influencing culture test for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) market in Europe and MEA. It helps companies enhance diagnostic speed, accuracy, and workflow efficiency.
AI-powered tools are being introduced in European microbiology labs to automate culture analysis. These technologies help reduce human error and enable faster detection of pathogens responsible for HAIs. Similarly, in MEA, AI adoption is gradually improving diagnostic infrastructure, supporting early outbreak detection.
A notable example of this trend is the launch of AI-based WASPLab® automation system by Copan Diagnostics in 2024. This system uses AI algorithms to analyze bacterial cultures and identify HAI-related pathogens with minimal human intervention.
Emerging Europe and MEA Culture Test for Healthcare-associated Infections Market Trends
Growing popularity of point-of-care culture testing is a key growth-shaping trend. To capitalize on this trend, industry players are focusing on developing faster culture techniques as well as miniaturized culture systems.
Introduction of automated culture testing systems is also supporting market expansion. Leading companies are integrating AI and automation in culture diagnostics to improve accuracy and turnaround time. This is making culture tests more efficient and appealing, leading to higher market demand.
There is a growing trend of integrating traditional culture tests with molecular assays to overcome diagnostic limitations and provide more rapid and accurate detection of HAIs. Adoption of these hybrid testing approaches is expected to boost Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market value.
Analyst’s View
“The Europe and MEA culture test for healthcare-associated infections market is poised to record moderate growth, owing to rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections and adoption of effective infection control measures,” said senior analyst Manisha Vibhute.
