Market Trends of Global Mycoplasma Testing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Mycoplasma Testing Market according to our research experts:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
North America currently dominates the mycoplasma testing market, and it is expected to continue its stronghold for a few more years. This region is expected to increase its market share in the future due to its well-established healthcare industry and the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases in the area. Other factors driving the growth of this region are the presence of global biotech companies and pharmaceutical players and higher investment in R&D activities in the region. The United States holds the majority of the market share in North America. This is due to the rising healthcare expenditure, along with the rapid adoption of point-of-care testing.
The launch of products in the country will also increase the mycoplasma testing procedures contributing to the market growth. For instance, in July 2020, bioMérieux launched BIOFIRE MYCOPLASMA, an innovative test for mycoplasma detection in the United States for pharmaceutical products used for biotherapeutics (antibodies, hormones, cell and gene therapies, etc.), the most vibrant sector in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, in April 2020, Infinity Laboratories expanded its capabilities by launching Mycoplasma testing. Such adoption of critical strategies like expansion, partnerships, acquisitions, and others will expand the capabilities of the key market players, thereby driving the market growth.
Moreover, rising research and development studies proving the efficacies of diagnostic techniques in the United States are expected to drive market growth during the study period. For instance, in January 2021, Fujifilm and the Center for Advanced Biological Innovation and Manufacturing are investing about USD 76 million in Massachusetts for advanced research and development in cell and gene therapy, gene editing, immunotherapy, and biotechnology. Thus, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the studied market is expected to grow significantly in the region during the study period.

For instance, according to the study "Evaluation of Commercial Molecular Diagnostic Methods for Detection and Determination of Macrolide Resistance in Mycoplasma pneumonia" published in May 2020, the highest clinical sensitivities were found with the InGenius PCR (99.5%) and the FilmArray RP (98.1%). Therefore, the presence of effective diagnostic techniques in the country is expected to boost mycoplasma testing and, in turn, is expected to drive the market. Thus, owing to the factors mentioned above, the studied market is expected to grow significantly in the region during the study period.
