Non-Animal Alternatives Testing Global Market Report 2024

The non-animal alternatives testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.08 billion in 2023 to $2.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to robust economic growth in emerging markets, elevated expenses associated with animal studies, a growing embrace of in-vitro and in-silico technologies in fundamental research, heightened investments, increased research grants dedicated to developing alternative technologies, and a rising societal consciousness opposing animal cruelty.

The non-animal alternatives testing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.63 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to government initiatives supporting non-animal alternative testing, an increase in research and development activities, and ethical reservations regarding animal experiments, all contributing to market expansion. Key trends expected in this period involve an emphasis on advancing organs-on-chips (OOC) technology, the utilization of in silico trials, the development of advanced 3D bio-printed organs and tissues, the incorporation of model organisms, strategic collaborations and partnerships, and a surge in initiatives and grants aimed at promoting animal-free testing.

The growth of the non-animal testing market is propelled by support from both government and non-governmental organizations. Government entities enforce regulations, enact laws, and allocate funds to endorse non-animal testing methods, including tests on human volunteers and advanced computer-modeling techniques. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, for example, demonstrated its commitment to advancing animal-free methods for toxicology testing by announcing a grant of 7 lakh rupees in 2022. Similar initiatives promoting non-animal testing procedures are also undertaken by countries such as Denmark, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, China, and Korea. The consistent support from governmental and non-governmental sources plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of the non-animal testing market.

The anticipated expansion of the non-animal alternative testing market is expected to be driven by rising healthcare expenditure in the future. Healthcare expenditure, which encompasses spending on healthcare costs, reflects the total financial investment in healthcare-related goods and services within a specific healthcare system or economy. This expenditure is instrumental in fostering the development and accessibility of non-animal alternative testing activities. As an example, data from November 2022, as reported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, indicates a rise in healthcare expenditure to 0.8%, amounting to $331 billion in 2022 compared to 7.6% in 2021. Consequently, the upward trajectory in healthcare expenditure is contributing to the growth of the non-animal alternative testing market.

Leading companies in the non-animal alternative testing sector are engaging in collaborations to advance alternatives to animal testing and gain a competitive advantage in the market. These collaborations serve to expedite the adoption of animal-free safety science. For example, in February 2023, Unilever, a UK-based healthcare product manufacturer, partnered with a global coalition of cosmetics manufacturers, suppliers, industry associations, and animal protection organizations. The objective of this collaboration is to promote innovation in animal-free cosmetics, personal care products, and ingredients. The partnership involves funding and scientific evaluation of new safety assessment approaches, aiming to instill confidence in animal-free safety science.

Major companies in non-animal alternative testing are also spearheading the development of innovative products such as Digital Animal Replacement Technology (DART). This technology provides a humane and accurate substitute for animal testing by utilizing ethically sourced human stem cells, a digital workstation, and artificial intelligence to predict drug safety based on stem cell-drug interactions. For instance, in June 2023, Quantifi, a US-based software company, introduced Digital Animal Replacement Technology (DART). This technology not only facilitates early-stage decision-making, cost reduction, and improved time-to-market but also offers advantages such as accelerated testing, customization based on genetic profiles, and relevance to human physiology.
