Biological Safety Testing Market Analysis
The biological safety testing market is expected to witness a CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period.
With the emergence of COVID-19, many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies began developing novel treatments and vaccines against COVID-19. These rising R&D activities impacted positively the biological safety testing market studied. For instance, in March 2020, Regeneron and Sanofi initiated the development of their biologic Kevzara for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Kevzara (Sarilumab), jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi, also inhibits the IL-6 pathway. Biological safety testing plays a major role in ensuring the purity of vaccines and other biological products. Thus, with the development of new treatments for COVID-19, the demand for biological safety testing has also increased.
Some of the major factors that are driving the market growth are rapidly growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, along with increasing investments, and rising production of new biologics due to the high disease burden. For instance, in 2021, biologics accounted for second of the top-eight drugs in terms of revenue. Humira (adalimumab), which was developed by AbbVie for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's, and other autoimmune diseases, led to USD 20.7 billion sales, as per the Top 15 Best-selling Drugs of 2021 report. Humira was also the fastest-growing biological drug.
Further, biotechnology-derived products or biologicals have effectively made their way into various aspects of healthcare, including diagnoses, prevention, and treatments of diseases. However, there remain certain potential safety concerns, which generally arise from the manufacturing processes and complex biological and structural characteristics of these products. Therefore, these products need detailed and systematic biological safety testing, that eventually enables the adequate assessment of safety, before any kind of clinical investigation. Hence, the market is expected to thrive over the forecast period.
However, the biological safety process is quite time-consuming and complex which is expected to hinder the market growth.
Biological Safety Testing Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Biological Safety Testing Market according to our research experts:
Bioburden Testing Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Share in the Test Segment of the Market Over the Forecast Period
Bioburden Testing Segment is expected to hold a significant share in the test segment of the market over the forecast period. Organizations like the World Health Organization have also released instructions for health managers and health workers on required infrastructures and standard procedures for effective sterilization, and decontamination of medical devices. These factors are expected to increase the demand for proper sterilization, which is expected to boost the demand for Bioburden testing as it acts as an efficient tool in the validation of validation and revalidation of sterilization processes, assessment of the efficiency of cleaning processes, routine monitoring of manufacturing processes to ensure safety.
Bioburden testing is an integral part of validation and revalidation of sterilization processes, assessment of the efficiency of cleaning processes, routine monitoring of manufacturing processes, monitoring of raw materials, components, or packaging, and overall environmental monitoring programs. The high adoption rate determines bioburden limits in wide-ranging biologics and medical devices. Further, the development of new products in the market is expected to accelerate the market studied. For instance, in December 2019, the company launched the BD Kiestra IdentifA system in Europe and Canada, which is used for microbial identification. It has incorporated automated sample processing steps that ensure accuracy and minimal error.
Furthermore, there are high bioburden and microbial contamination rates during pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturing, which is expected to drive government and private organizations to improve underlying biological safety practices. Hence, all these practices performed might drive the overall market.
North America Dominates the Market and is Expected to do the Same in the Forecast Period
North America Dominates the Market and is expected to do the same in the forecast period. The United States is expected to contribute majorly to the market growth of this region. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the rising R&D activities related to COVID-19 have impacted the market growth positively.
The growth of the biological safety testing market in this region can be directly attributed to the growing biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in the region. The high growth of these industries is further attributable to factors, such as innovative technologies and the presence of favorable government initiatives. Also, the emerging need for validation of drugs and devices process of manufacturing is expected to boost the demand for the market studied. According to the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) report, in 2021, the United States had about 4,814 manufacturing sites for drugs.
Additionally, the advanced healthcare infrastructure and rising R&D spending are expected to increase the revenue size further. According to the data of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), in the United States, about USD 83 billion were spent by the pharmaceutical industry on the R&D. Thus, this is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
