Guangzhou: As the world is ravaged by highly contagious Omicron variant, the demand for COVID-19 test kits is surging.
As one of the largest manufacturers of the kits, China is speeding up production to meet the skyrocketing demand and contribute to global anti-pandemic efforts, even during the Chinese New Year holidays.
Chinese manufacturers have seen a spike in orders for test kits against the backdrop of the pandemic.
The export value of China-made COVID-19 test kits of antibody detection reached about USD 1.6 billion last December 2021, an increase of about 144 per cent from the previous month, according to the data from the General Administration of Customs of China, Xinhua news agency reported.
