Technology innovations and a stronger focus on developing novel drugs to treat chronic diseases, are key drivers for the global mycoplasma testing market up to the next decade, research states.

Mycoplasma testing market

According to research published by Coherent Market Insights, the global mycoplasma testing market is anticipated to reach $1,907.6 million by 2031.

The market is set to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7 percent during the forecast period, the report predicted.

What is driving and limiting growth in the market?

Specifically, technology innovations such as sequencing technology, supported by “strong government funding for biomedical research” in the US has driven rapid developments in this area.

As for other market strategies, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are expected to aid in market growth over the forecast period, the report stated.

The research also explained that an increased focus on developing novel drugs to treat various chronic and life-threatening diseases is putting pressure on biopharma companies to launch new products in the market under strict regulatory timelines.

However, financial limitations are impacting the market too. The high costs of mycoplasma testing equipment such as PCR systems and microbial culture supplies, is an additional limitation for market growth. This can pose a challenge for small and medium size laboratories and research facilities, especially as these tests are required to be performed regularly as per regulatory guidelines, according to the report.
