Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative, microaerobic human pathogen and H. pylori infection is strongly related with many gastroduodenal diseases including chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases, atrophic gastritis, mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and noncardia gastric cancer. H. pylori infection affects more than half of the adult population worldwide, but the prevalence of H pylori infection varies widely by geographic area, age, race, and socioeconomic status. Usually, the prevalence of H. pylori increases with age in most countries, however a decline in prevalence of H. pylori infection has been observed in recent decades in time trend analysis of several large populations. More than 80% of peptic ulcer diseases are caused by H. pylori infection and the estimated lifetime risk for peptic ulcer disease in H. pylori-infected patients is approximately 15%. Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and H. pylori infection is responsible for 74.7% of all noncardia gastric cancer cases. Gastric cancer and peptic ulcer together cause more than a million deaths per year in the world and H. pylori infection always is an important health issue. Various diagnostic methods are developed to detect H. pylori infection and diagnostic tests with both high sensitivity and specificity, exceeding 90%, are necessary for accurate diagnosis of H. pylori infection in clinical practice. Although many diagnostic tests are available now, each method has its own advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. The choice of one method or another could be depended on availability and accessibility of diagnostic tests, level of laboratories, clinical conditions of patients, and likelihood ratio of positive and negative tests on different clinical circumstances. Diagnostic tests are usually divided into invasive (endoscopic-based) and noninvasive methods. Invasive diagnostic tests include endoscopic image, histology, rapid urease test, culture, and molecular methods. Non-invasive diagnostic tests included Non-invasive Techniques, stool antigen test, serological, and molecular examinations. In the present report, we mainly studies the Helicobacter pylori diagnostic reagent or test box market status and outlook of global and major regions, from angles of players, regions, product and end Application/industries; this report analyzes the top players in global and major regions, and splits the Helicobacter Pylori Diagnostics market by product and Application/end industries.
