The global biological safety testing market size is estimated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. Growth of the market is attributed to rising occurrence of health issues and diseases and rapid growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Biological safety testing refers to the testing procedures that are carried out to ensure non-contamination of vaccines and biopharmaceuticals and to comply with regulations regarding the same. This includes several types of cell line authentication and characterization tests, sterility tests, endotoxin tests, bioburden tests, adventitious agent detection tests, and residual host contamination detection tests, among others.
The biologicals or biotechnology-derived products have effectively influenced various aspects of healthcare such as prevention, diagnoses, and treatments of diseases. However, there are definite potential safety concerns, which generally arise from the manufacturing processes of complex biologicals and structural features of these products. Thus, these products need systematic and detailed biological safety testing which enables the adequate assessment of safety.
The Covid-19 pandemic had positive impact on the biological safety testing market, many biotechnologies and pharmaceutical companies began developing vaccines against COVID-19. For instance, in March 2020, Sanofi and Regeneron launched the development of their biologic Kevzara for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Kevzara (Sarilumab) which also inhibits the IL-6 pathway. Biological safety testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the purity of vaccines and other biological products. Thus, with the development of new treatment for COVID-19, the demand for biological safety testing has also increased.

The reagents and kits segment is projected to constitute a large market share
Based on product, the biological safety testing market is segregated into reagents and kits, instruments and others. The reagents and kits segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to emerging need for validation of drugs and devices process of manufacturing.
The vaccines and therapeutics segment is expected to register a substantial CAGR
Based on application, the biological safety testing market is divided into vaccines and therapeutics, cellular and gene therapy, blood and blood-based therapy, and others. The vaccines and therapeutics segment accounts for a key share of the market and is estimated to propel even further over the forecast period owing to several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies developing novel treatments and vaccines against COVID-19 and rising R&D activities influencing therapeutics.
The bioburden tests segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace
Based on test, the biological safety testing market is segregated into sterility tests, bioburden tests, endotoxin tests, and others. The bioburden tests segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to standard procedures for effective sterilization, and decontamination of medical devices by World Health Organization (WHO). 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. Moreover, 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 and further fuel the market growth.
North America is expected to dominate the market
In terms of regions, the market is broadly classified into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period. The growing biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and advanced healthcare infrastructure and rising R&D spending in this region is expected to drive the market growth in near future. Furthermore, high growth of these industries is further attributable to innovative technologies and the presence of favorable government initiatives.
