Market Forecasts
CHAI collects data annually from country teams, which is used to inform forecasts and program planning
Annual Labs Data Request: Completed annually by country teams and incorporated within updated forecasts and market intelligence. Includes information related to guidelines, testing volumes, targets, installed equipment base, funding, and scale-up plans for CD4, EID, VL, and TB diagnostics.
Additional data collection: CHAI teams also collect data more frequently on specific topics, such as viral load scale-up (collected quarterly) and POC implementation (collected semi-annually)
CHAI uses linear extrapolations of historical data in its forecasts to project future demand

• Patient numbers
• Burden of disease
• Existing national guidelines for testing
• Global targets
Linear extrapolation of past demand or model of future scale-up influenced by:
• Current system capacity
• Introduction of new technology
• Funding
• Anticipated guidelines changes
• Forecast outputs by sample type (POC vs. conventional), country and test type

Creating demand-based forecasts requires robust historical records of testing volumes, as well as an in-depth understanding of country scale-up plans.
Agenda
• Viral Load
• Early Infant Diagnosis (EID)
• Introduction
• CD4
The CD4 forecast can be modeled using high and low-growth scenarios driven by the pace of POC adoption and shift of ART monitoring to VL
Source: CHAI CD4 forecast, with laboratory-based testing volumes based on CD4 testing coverage data from 21 high HIV-burden countries Excludes money spent to expand install base of instruments
The largest increase in CD4 test volumes will be driven by the adoption of POC devices, including device-free technologies, in either scenario.

Underlying assumptions for forecast (1 of 2)
Patient Numbers: The model uses patient numbers from the annual CHAI forecast for ART scale-up in 21 high-burden countries, which are generated using linear extrapolations from historical growth trends. It also uses approximate Pre-ART ratios shared by countries to estimate the total number of patients in care on a country by country basis.
Aggregated Pre-ART: ART Patient Ratios:
East Africa: 1.1 : 1 West Africa: 1.4 : 1
Southern Africa: 1.3 : 1 Rest of World: 1.2 : 1
Impact of viral load scale-up: ART patients are gradually transitioned from CD4 to VL in the model. The rates of transition differ by country and are based on scale-up plans.

West Africa 91% 90% 50% 25% 0%
Rest of World 88% 85% 65% 29% 5%
Underlying assumptions for forecast (2 of 2)
Defining need:
• Need is defined as the total number of patients requiring CD4 testing annually multiplied by the national CD4 testing guidelines.
• An additional 5% of patients are assumed to require clinician-requested CD4 tests for opportunistic infections.
• Need also accounts for the gradual transition of ART patients from CD4 to viral load. For these patients, two tests annually are assumed.
Modeling forecasted tests:
• Baseline is 2013 testing volumes disaggregated by Point of Care (POC) and conventional tests.
• Where data unavailable for conventional testing, coverage of 49% of need assumed.
• For conventional testing, an annual growth rate of 5% is applied. Growth in POC is assumed to occur at a higher rate and is presented in two scenarios.
• In both scenarios, POC device-free instruments are expected to be introduced beginning in 2016.

Agenda
• Viral Load
• Early Infant Diagnosis (EID)
• Introduction
• CD4
Even with increased funding and national scale-up of viral load, there will still be a significant unmet need
The forecasted testing gap is a factor of funding, country support for widespread scale-up, challenges in extending access beyond existing sample transportation systems, and the
speed of clinical uptake.

Patient Numbers: The model uses patient numbers from the annual CHAI forecast for ART scale-up in 21 high-burden countries, which are generated using linear extrapolations from historical growth trends.
Rate of transition from CD4 monitoring: ART patients are gradually transitioned from CD4 to VL in the model. The rates of transition differ by country and are based on (1) the existence of a national viral load program; (2) current scale-up plans; and (3) available funding.

Rest of World 12% 15% 45% 71% 95%
Underlying assumptions for forecast (2 of 2)
Defining need:
• Need is defined by the total number of patients expected to receive ART monitoring in a country and the country’s guidelines.
• Clinician-requested tests for patients suspected of treatment failure are also factored into the total need at an additional five percent.
• ART patients in most countries are assumed to require at least one viral load test annually.
Modeling forecasted tests:
• The forecasting model uses 2013 historical test numbers disaggregated by DBS and plasma tests sourced from CHAI country teams and publically-available sources.
• The model assumes that POC testing will begin to be available in 2015.
• Varying rates of scale-up based on country experiences with EID testing have been used to determine annual testing growth across viral load sample types, with plasma experiencing the slowest growth and POC the most rapid.

Agenda
• Viral Load
• Early Infant Diagnosis (EID)
• Introduction
• CD4
EID coverage may fall short of the total need for testing based on current funding, country plans, and market conditions
Market Trends
• Coverage of EID remains low in most countries due to poor patient retention, weak sample transport systems, and a lack of training in recognizing exposed infants outside of PMTCT care
• Viral load uptake will continue to drive investment in strengthening sample transportation networks, which may also lead to more modest gains in EID volumes
Note: Need is estimated using national population figures, HIV prevalence rates, birth rates, and testing guidelines.

Underlying assumptions for forecast
Defining Need:
• Need is defined by the estimated number of exposed and positive infants born in a country each year multiplied by the number of DNA-PCR tests required per year for each infant.
• To estimate the total number of exposed infants, the historical change in the reported need for EID as well as the change in disease burden among women aged fifteen and older in each country is applied to 2013 reported need values to project linear growth through 2020.
Modeling forecasted tests:
• To forecast demand, historical EID test numbers, segmented by test type, are grown linearly using historical CAGRs.
• The model assumes that testing at birth will be introduced beginning in 2016 in addition to the 4-6 week DNA-PCR test.
• The model also assumes that countries will begin deploying POC EID in 2015.

More robust data exists for EID than other HIV diagnostics, but there is opportunity for further data validation

Testing Guidelines Country guidelines WHO guidelines
Testing volumes Country purchases CHAI country teams UNICEF reports Global Plan reports
Funding Global Fund proposals, PEPFAR COPs Government budgets
The growth rate and size of the EID market may be influenced positively by several key factors
The largest constraint to improved EID coverage is the large loss-to-follow-up rates for infants whose mothers are in PMTCT programs, as well as a significant number of
exposed infants whose mothers are not in care.
Potential Market Event Magnitude of Impact
Timing
Improved intervention models for mother-infant retention
(+) Large Varies by country
Increased funding (+) Large 1-5 years
Availability of cost-effective POC technologies
(+) Large 1-3 years
Adoption of testing at birth: (+) Large 2-3 years
Future forecasts would benefit from further data validation and comparisons with available funding
• CHAI’s forecasts should be validated by available country procurement plans and supplier sales information
• Moreover, further analysis could be conducted to verify the validity of country scale-up plans versus anticipated funding
• The regular exchange of procurement information among partners could significantly strengthen the quality of these forecasts
