Global Viral Transport Media Market is valued at approximately USD XXX million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XXX% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Viral transport media (VTM) is a collection and transport system mainly used for the collection, transport, and long-term freezing of biological specimens containing viruses, such as COVID-19, chlamydia, ureaplasma organisms, or mycoplasma. They often used in collecting nasal swab and throat swabs to collect samples. The sample is later on sent to clinical laboratories in transport medium for detection and identification, to check the presence of a virus in the human body. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world, the demand for viral transport media is significantly growing to obtain the information and collection of novel coronavirus samples. The sample is usually collected in VTM to regulate the stability of the sample & get transported in a cold chain. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of COVID-19 around the world is one of the major factors driving the adoption of viral transport media all over the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of March 7th March 2020, around 87,831 confirmed cases of coronavirus registered throughout the world, including 3,549 deaths, and is reached to almost 7,941,791 confirmed cases with 434,796 deaths by 16th June 2020. According to the WHO, America is the leading country in terms of COVID patients and death, with almost 2,079, 592 confirmed cases with 115,484 deaths as of 16th June 2020. This, in turn, is expected to leverage the demand for viral transport media around the world. Moreover, the increasing number of government initiatives for testing kits in the developed & developing countries, along with the increasing number of product launches by the market vendors is further accelerating the market growth over the forecast period. However, technical issues related to swabs collection is one of the major factors impeding the market growth over the forecast period of 2020-2027.
