Segments - Microbial Testing Market by Types (Instruments and Reagents), Applications (Pharmaceutical, Clinical, Food Testing, Energy, Chemical and Material Manufacturing, and Environment), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028.
The global microbial testing market size was valued USD 3.9 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 5.3 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising incidence of infectious diseases such as HIV, human papillomavirus (HPV), and hepatitis B and C.
Several emerging molecular diagnostic techniques are being used more frequently for early detection and effective treatment of pathogen-borne diseases. When compared to traditional laboratory techniques, advanced molecular diagnostic techniques provide several technological advantages such as faster turnaround time, high sample throughput, multiplexing of reactions, specificity, improved accuracy, and increased device sensitivity. NGS, real-time PCR, molecular cartridges, and PCR coupled with mass spectrometry are among the advanced molecular diagnostic techniques that are increasingly becoming acknowledged for their ability to identify and characterize various pathogens as well as analyze samples in a single run.

Based on types, the market is divided into instruments and reagents. The instruments segment to hold a large market share in the projected timeline. Microbiology equipment is a broad category that encompasses a wide range of instruments used in microbiology labs. Microscopes, slides, test tubes, petri dishes, solid and liquid growth mediums, inoculation loops, pipettes and tips, incubators, autoclaves, and laminar flow hoods are few examples of microbiology equipment.
A reagent is a material or ingredient that is added to a system to either produce or test a chemical reaction. The reactants are usually referred to as substrates in biochemistry, especially when enzyme-catalyzed reactions are involved. The reagent segment is anticipated to grow at a robust rate during the forecast period.
On the basis of applications, the microbial testing market is segregated into pharmaceutical, clinical, food testing, energy, chemical and material manufacturing, and environment. The pharmaceutical segment is expected to dominate the market. The presence of well-established and acknowledgments of rules that control the evaluation of microbiological contamination during pharmaceutical manufacturing and raw material sourcing are largely responsible for this segment's substantial share. To assure sanitization, several regulatory authorities such WHO, FDA, and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA, UK)] have well-defined regulatory criteria for the evaluation of microbiological contamination in excipients and APIs.
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2020, in terms of revenue. Clinical microbiology technologies are widely used among key end-users such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, research laboratories, and commercial service providers in North America, which has well-established distribution channels for clinical microbiology product manufacturers and suppliers. The high adoption of modern diagnostic technologies, as well as supporting government policies in the US and Canada are further driving the growth of the market in the region.
