Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide forecasts of future demand for diagnostic tests used in the fields of HIV and viral hepatitis. These forecasts have multiple potential uses. First, they may inform advocacy efforts to increase access to diagnostics. Second, they may guide health systems and procurement organizations in planning how to obtain adequate supplies of diagnostics to fulfil service delivery needs. Third, they may aid manufacturers in identifying opportunities to contribute to meeting anticipated market demands. This report jointly presents diagnostic test forecasts across disease areas in recognition of the benefits of addressing HIV and viral hepatitis B and C in a coordinated manner.
