The market for flu diagnostics and treatment in Germany is anticipated to propel at decent growth throughout the forecast period. The key factor that bolstered the growth of the market in this country is the availability of a highly developed healthcare industry. The rising prevalence of flu throughout the country is also one of the key factors which are anticipated to propel the growth opportunities for the market to decent growth. The rising prevalence of influenza is further augmenting the number of hospitalizations for treatment purposes and leading to an increase in the number of diagnostic tests, which is also projected to drive the market growth of flu diagnostic and treatment in the coming years.

The German flu diagnostic and treatment market is expected to grow due to the rising number of cases, low medication prices, improved government measures, and others.

Furthermore, the increase in the number of hospitalizations for influenza-related illnesses is also projected to increase during the coming years, which is also anticipated to support the market growth during the forecast period and beyond. Moreover, the increasing government focus on quality healthcare services is leading to a surge in the healthcare expenditure of the country, which is also expected to provide opportunities for the market to grow in the upcoming years. For instance, according to the World Bank Group, current health expenditure (% of GDP) in Germany is 11.7% of their GDP in the year 2019. Similarly, according to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in 2020, healthcare expenditure in Germany of 67.9 billion euros (approximately US$69.29) was financed from government subsidies. This was an increase of 31.5% as compared to 2019. All these factors are anticipated to collectively contribute to the growth of the flu diagnostics and treatment market growth in Germany.

COVID-19 Insight

Since the healthcare sector was overburdened with COVID-19 patients, the diagnostics and therapeutics for influenza cases declined to affect the market potential in 2020. From the beginning of the pandemic, Germany has seen a reduction in flu cases with the surge of COVID-19 cases in the country according to the Federal Statistical Office. To prevent COVID-19 deaths in the country, overall measures were taken by the German health department, ultimately resulting in a reduction of influenza cases in Germany. These factors affected the growth of the German flu diagnostics and treatment market.
