Mycoplasma Testing Market: Overview

Mycoplasmas are the simplest self-replicating and smallest bacteria belonging to the mollicute genus. Myoplasmas are naturally resistant to antibiotics as they lack cell wall structure around their cell membranes. Due to the small genome size, they cannot synthesize amino acids, nucleic acids, and cell walls,s and thus they exist as parasites in host organisms like animals, plants, humans, and insects. Mycoplasma testing is an important process at various phases of biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical product development including cell banks, raw materials, unprocessed bulk harvest materials, viral seed stocks, and final products. Mycoplasma contamination often goes undetected as they do not cause constantly noticeable alterations like changes in turbidity, pH change, etc.

The demand for the mycoplasma testing market is driven by strong growth witnessed by the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry across the globe. Also, cell culture contamination with mycoplasma is a major concern. Increasing investments in life science research, the need to control cell culture contamination, and the surge in R&D expenditure are factors that boost market growth. The presence of large and well-established market players may act as a barrier for new entrants. Stringent regulatory requirements, time-consuming approval procedures, lack of skilled professionals, and a high degree of consolidation may act as restraining factors for market growth. Increasing preference for outsourcing services for mycoplasma testing is expected to bring new growth opportunities for market players in mycoplasma testing.

Mycoplasma Testing Market: Segmentation
