Hence, the demand for fecal calprotectin testing is projected to grow during the forecast period. A recent report of 2022 stated that around 60 to 70 million Americans suffer from gastrointestinal diseases every year which cause serious problems in day-to-day life.
Growing Focus on Enhancing Medical Devices – Governments of different nations are focusing on developing novel medical equipment for enhanced fecal calprotectin testing for patients. Thus, the increase in investments is attributed to creating a positive outlook for market expansion in the next few years. For instance, a recently published report stated that in India, foreign investments in the medical devices sector increased from USD 301 million in FY20 to USD 151 in FY19.
