1. Kuwait Blood Gas and POC Immunoassay Analyzer Market is growing steadily owing to the government’s initiatives and funding.

Kuwait’s Blood Gas and POC Immunoassay Analyzer Market is currently in its growing phase. In 2010, Kuwaiti Parliament approved a USD 110 Bn NDI, stretching to 2035, which aims to convert Kuwait into a trade and financial hub of the region by introducing laws to fund the development of a stronger healthcare system. The Public Healthcare system is the largest provider and provides primary, secondary and tertiary services while the private sector only focuses on the primary and secondary services in Kuwait. An increase in the number of patients, advances in blood and gas technology, and increased research and healthcare activities contribute to market growth. Many players are successfully operating in BGA segment while there is limited number of players in both POC IAA and TCM segments. These players are competing on the basis of cost per test, testing parameters, design and portability of the product and friendly user interface.

2. Blood Gas Analysis devices are installed in government hospitals, having the scope for expansion in the private sector.

BGA devices are more popular in Kuwait with a high preference for medium to high workload devices via consumable sales model. The majority of the devices are installed in hospitals. Since the public hospital is dominating the healthcare facility in Kuwait therefore the maximum number of devices are installed in the government hospitals. Private hospitals may become the new potential market for the installation of new BGA devices as this market is yet to be explored. An increase in the number of patients has led to further analysis of the blood samples and therefore to an increase in the activity of the electrolyte and blood gas analyzers. Advances in blood and gas technology, increased research and healthcare activities contribute to market growth. Government funding also stimulates the Kuwait’s market for blood gas analysis.

3. The POC Immunoassay Analyzer Market is expected to grow in Kuwait.

POC IAA are popularly sold via consumable sales model and a high number of these devices are handheld devices. Product specifications is a high determining factor for device sales. Replacement is around 2-3 devices per year. One of the major reasons for high testing was COVID-19. This led to a great demand for the D-Dimer test in Kuwait. But there are certain challenges as well. Misinterpretation of results and the dearth of skilled professionals in the clinical diagnostics domain have posed challenges. Still, the market in Kuwait for the Healthcare and Medical sector is strong and increasing steadily, particularly buoyed up by the surplus funds coming out of the oil profits in Kuwait.

1. Reagent price and type of device are the predominant factor that are influencing the growth of BGA devices amongst healthcare facility in Qatar

When it comes to BGA segment in Qatar’s Blood Gas & POC Immunoassay Analyzer Market, the ecosystem is well positioned with a limited number of players operating in the market. These players are competing on the basis of cost per test, testing parameters, design and portability of the product and friendly user interface.  Moreover, there is no obstacle in the regulation of devices except the product needs to be registered with Pharmacy and Drug Control Department. It is also assumed that private sector is better positioned to introduce new devices as compared to public hospitals. BGA Market is also mature & saturated in the private sector.

Furthermore, a number of challenges such as limited reagent shelf life, no device installed in independent labs due to no demand for these testing parameters in such facilities can hinder the growth in upcoming years. When it comes to exploring private sector, increased partnership between private and public sector to improve the healthcare infrastructure will help the diagnostic equipment market to grow and Public-private partnerships is also expected to ease economic burden of non-communicable diseases on government spending. It is expected that in the upcoming years, installed base for BGA devices is expected to grow at a CAGR 6.4% (2021-2026F) reaching 172 devices in 2026 with transition in the market, high preference for POC devices serving as growth drivers.

The number of POC IAA installed devices is expected to witness an increase in the upcoming years. Emerging economy offer significant growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. There would be a high need for rapid daily testing especially for the cardiac parameter in the future, which will result in the high demand for POC IAA in hospitals. A series of challenges are expected to hinder the growth if not taken care of properly.

For instance, Immunoassay is not preferred in Qatar, hospitals collect samples and send it to the centralized lab IAA because these devices have a testing capacity in bulk. Moreover, POC devices are not included for Immunoassay’s guidelines of health as of now by Qatari Government which possess a major issue for the POC device inclusion in the country.

3. Compared to other GCC Countries Qatar has a high installation of the TCM devices, however the no. of players are very limited
