Pet in vitro testing is a scientific testing method that uses testing methods such as impact testing and laboratory testing to measure the health of pets through indicators. It is a necessary means for pet medical institutions. Pet in vitro detection methods are varied. Image detection, routine detection and rapid detection (colloidal gold &ELISA) project are widely used as routine in vitro detection items. In addition, PCR nucleic acid detection is an important means of detecting viruses. Influenced by COVID-19, people have more and more awareness of them. The market has been growing rapidly in recent two years, and the development prospect is expected.
According to the Market Research Report on PET in vitro testing released by CMRC Zhongyan Century Consulting, in the operating revenue of pet medical institutions, the proportion of routine testing and image testing in the turnover is significantly higher than that of laboratory testing. At the same time, in the detection of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases of cats and dogs, rapid detection methods account for the vast majority. However, because the effect of immunological detection for diseases of pet cats, especially respiratory diseases, is not obvious, and most diseases of pet dogs can achieve the detection effect through immunological detection, so pet cats use PCR detection more.
The type of pet raising in China's cities and towns has changed from more dogs and fewer cats to more cats and fewer dogs. The number of pet owners raising pet cats has continued to grow in the past two years. With the continuous improvement of urban pet raising regulations and the integration of modern people's lifestyle, the proportion of cats and dogs will show an upward trend and a downward trend in the future. Therefore, with the increasing proportion of pet rearing, the demand for PCR detection is greater.
Pet PCR detection has been developed for about five years. In recent three years, pet PCR detection penetration rate has increased enormously. In 2020, due to the development of COVID-19 nucleic acid detection, the application of pet PCR detection was pushed to a higher level. More and more enterprises are ready to enter the pet PCR detection Market. At present, the development of pet PCR detection in China: 1) the penetration rate of first tier cities is about 80%, and that of second tier cities is about 60%. In general, the penetration rate of PCR in 15000 pet hospitals in China is about 60%, of which about 40% can be carried out by themselves in hospitals. 2) The development level of southeast coastal areas is significantly higher than that of other regions. 3) Self-employed hospitals can independently choose to carry out in-hospital or third-party inspection. Chain hospitals prefer to enrich their own business through their own third-party laboratories and strengthen the unified management of hospital business.
Of course, although the current market is in the initial stage and has great market opportunities for enterprises, four conditions need to be met to enter the pet PCR detection Market: 1) most of the detection instruments required by the pet market are small flux instruments, and enterprises with the ability to independently develop PCR detection instruments can take the lead in the market. 2) In pet PCR detection, reagents are consumables and the main source of profits for enterprises. In order to ensure long-term interests, we must independently develop and produce reagents. 3) As the pet medical industry has its own circle, it is difficult for foreign brands to win the trust of pet doctors. How to open up sales channels is also an urgent problem for enterprises to solve. 4) At present, the introduction of PCR detection instruments in pet hospitals mostly adopts the delivery mode, and enterprises cannot obtain the income of instruments. When seizing the market in the early stage, they need to prepare a lot of funds for expanding channels.
