“North America is estimated to have the highest market share and the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period,” write BCC analysts. “The increase in health care expenditure in the Asia-Pacific market, growing research and development activities, and increase in prevalence of STDs, HIV, and infectious diseases coupled with growing government initiative in creating awareness regarding communicable disease are the major factors augmenting the growth of communicable disease market in the Asia-Pacific region.”
