Organ transplant and blood transfusion are the other way for the transmission for the disease.
Cytomegalovirus diagnostics market is mainly propelling by the rise in the prevalence of CMV infections, growing awareness about herpes disease, initiatives taken by key market players for the diagnosis of CMV infection are propelling the growth of CMV diagnostics market. Moreover, rise in the support of government, and development of healthcare infrastructure are anticipated to propel growth of CMV diagnostics market. Lack of awareness and price sensitivity are the few factors hampering the growth of CMV diagnostics market.
Rise in diagnosis of CMV cases propelling the growth of global cytomegalovirus diagnosis market. According to Public Health Agency of Canada, 40%-100% of global population are having CMV antibody in the body. Patients with HIV and who has undergone organ transplantation, new-borns, and premature infants are having high risk of CMV infection. As per Centres for Disease Control and Prevention 1 per 150 infants are born with CMV infection in U.S. but only 1 in 5 infants are infected with CMV are having long term health issues.

Initiatives taken by government about the awareness of the CMV disease, rise in healthcare expenditure and increase in disposable income are the few factors propelling market growth in Asia-Pacific region.
