Mycoplasma Testing Market Overview:


The mycoplasma testing market size was valued USD 802 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 2.31 billion by 2030 at 14.1% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030. Mycoplasma testing is used to detect contamination in a biological sample. Increasing R&D costs and new product releases are projected to drive the market growth of the mycoplasma testing. However, the availability of alternative conventional methods will impede the market growth of the mycoplasma testing over the projection period. The market of mycoplasma testing is divided into three categories: product, technique, and application. The market is divided into three categories: kits and reagents, instruments, and services. In 2017, the kits and reagents category is predicted to account for the greatest proportion of the market.


Mycoplasma testing is expected to expand due to rising R&D expenditures and the introduction of new products. However, competition from more established technologies will slow the mycoplasma testing market's expansion throughout the forecast period. With better healthcare infrastructure, more unmet healthcare requirements, and more mycoplasma contamination, emerging markets are likely to fuel the expansion of the mycoplasma testing market share. The testing of biologics and vaccines for mycoplasma contamination is also required by recommendations and rules published by regulatory organizations including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Because of this, mycoplasma testing has become more important in the biopharmaceutical sector.


The expansion of the mycoplasma testing market is being fueled by technical developments such as the creation of quicker and more accurate mycoplasma testing methods and devices. In addition, the demand for biologics and biosimilars is rising, which is fueling market expansion. Biologics and biosimilars are susceptible to mycoplasma infection during production, which poses hazards to product quality, effectiveness, and patient safety. Mycoplasma testing solutions are becoming increasingly important as the need for biologics and biosimilars develops, driving the industry forward. 


In April 2023:Agathos Biologics, a frontrunner in the biotech industry, said it will begin providing cutting-edge analytical testing to the life sciences. Their expert staff uses cutting-edge technology to provide unrivaled precision in nucleic acid measurement and cellular analysis, with a particular emphasis on high-content imaging and digital PCR. Agathos relied only on QIAcuity instruments and tests from QIAGEN, and the two companies worked together to validate mycoplasma and rAAV assays.


In December 2022:Pictor, a New Zealand (NZ) startup with offices in the US and India, announced a funding round to advance its Human Health and Animal Health product pipelines and expand into new markets in Australia/New Zealand, the US, and Europe. In light of the recent success of the PictArray SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Test, distributed by Rako Science in New Zealand and major partners in the United States, this development comes as no surprise. To better manage dairy and beef herds in New Zealand and throughout the world, the firm will introduce its PictArray Mycoplasma bovis and Johne's disease tests in the second quarter of 2023.

April 2023:Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) research use only test designed to detect Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium in one test; includes RNase P as a human internal control; released by Thermo Fisher Scientific in February 2023. Rather of having laboratories do separate tests for each of the four most prevalent STIs, this solution can do so on a single panel. Researchers will be able to detect these sexually transmitted pathogenic germs more quickly and accurately thanks to this panel, which will aid in the development of future testing protocols and therapies.
