Pharma Microbiology Testing Kits Global Market Report 2024

The pharma microbiology testing kits market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.25 billion in 2023 to $6.77 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increased demand for pharmaceuticals, a rising prevalence of infectious diseases, the effects of globalization, an enhanced awareness regarding the significance of pharma microbiology testing, and the globalization of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

The pharma microbiology testing kits market size is expected to see strongly grown in the next few years. It will grow to $9.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the expanding use of automation in pharma microbiology testing, increased investments in research and development within this field, the growing adoption of new technologies in pharma microbiology testing, particularly in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and personalized medicine. Major trends expected during this period encompass rapid microbial testing methodologies, the emergence of point-of-care testing solutions, the utilization of single-use systems, the integration of digital technologies, and a focus on biosafety and biosecurity measures within the industry.

The pharma microbiology testing kits market is being propelled by the surge in infectious diseases globally. Diseases like Hepatitis A, B, and C, STDs, and HIV are on the rise, as highlighted by the CDC. In 2021, the WHO report noted approximately 1.4 million annual cases of Hepatitis a worldwide. Factors such as infected needle injections, unprotected sex, homelessness, and limited medical access contribute to the escalating instances of infectious diseases, thereby driving the demand for pharma microbiology testing kits.

A significant uptick in healthcare expenditure is anticipated to fuel growth in the pharma microbiology testing kits market. Heightened healthcare spending prompts healthcare facilities to prioritize robust infection control measures. Consequently, there's an increased need for frequent microbial contaminant and pathogen testing to ensure patient safety and compliance with regulatory standards. For instance, in 2021, U.S. Health care spending soared to $4.3 trillion, marking a 2.7 percent growth per person, as reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), underscoring the potential boost to the pharma microbiology testing kits market. Contracting out routine microbiological testing to specialized laboratories is gaining traction within the pharma microbiology testing kits market. This outsourcing strategy ensures stringent quality and safety standards for raw materials, intermediates, and end products. Contract testing labs manage various testing domains like stability testing, method validation, microbial testing, and batch-release testing. Notably, the global healthcare analytical testing market is projected to reach $4.13 billion by 2021, growing at an 11.3% rate, signaling the expanding reliance on outsourcing for such services.

Key players in the pharma microbiology testing kits market are prioritizing innovative technologies, notably artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance operational efficiency. AI integration into these testing kits aims to significantly improve the speed, accuracy, and overall efficiency of microbial detection and identification processes. In a prime example, in May 2021, Becton, Dickinson, and Company unveiled the use of AI to revolutionize urine testing within microbiology. This strategic move is poised to elevate the precision and efficiency of microbiology testing procedures, marking a notable advancement in the field.

In November 2022, IDEXX, a healthcare innovation company based in the US, acquired Tecta-PDS for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition aims to broaden IDEXX's presence in the field of water microbiology testing. Tecta-PDS, headquartered in Canada, specializes in water microbiology testing services.
