Pharma Microbial Identification Market to Grow at an Estimated CAGR of 13.2% During the Forecast Period 2022-2030

12 Dec 2022

The global microbial identification market is projected to expand at 13.2% CAGR during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. The rising prevalence of infectious illnesses and pandemics, technical improvements, food safety concerns, and government activities and funding to detect and control antimicrobial-resistant species are driving market expansion. Since the beginning of time, bacteria, yeasts, and moulds have been important to human survival. Similar to the past, they are tied to medicine, biotechnology, and genetic engineering. Their unique qualities enable the manufacture of food and food-related products, as well as the decomposition of lignocellulosic biomass as a source of second-generation ethanol or biogas, amino acids, antibiotics, hormones, and other medicinal chemicals. This enables food and food-related items. Some genetic and metabolic features of bacteria make them detrimental to industry (food spoilage) and human health.

Microbiological identification delivers fast, reliable findings, which helps implement applicable therapies quickly. In locations with little healthcare infrastructure, identifying microorganisms helps enhance infectious illness management. Around 1,400 microorganisms can cause human disease. Pathogenic bacteria cause 350 million foodborne illnesses. In the U.S. alone, 48 million instances of the foodborne disease result in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths annually. Inadequate water hygiene causes 1.7 million deaths annually, mostly in children. Most of these deaths occur in underdeveloped countries (NCBI). Infectious infections have risen globally throughout the years. Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death, according to WHO. 1.5 million people died from TB in 2018. Between 2000 and 2018, tuberculosis identification and treatment saved 58 million lives. According to UNAIDS, there were 1.7 million new HIV infections in 2019, 38 million people are living with HIV, and 690,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses. Zika in 2016, Ebola in 2014, H1N1 swine flu in 2009, H5N1 avian flu in 2004, SARS in 2003, and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019–2020 have caused public health concerns. They increase the requirement for diagnostic tools, especially microbe detectors. High prevalence and incidence of infectious diseases and pandemics drive growth in the microbial identification industry.

Recent years have witnessed huge advances in identifying therapeutically relevant microorganisms. Slowly but steadily, the range of organisms that may be identified has grown, leading to more microorganism strains. MS allows for faster identification of isolated organisms in clinical specimens. The WHO reports at least 30 new diseases in the past 20 years. These diseases threaten hundreds of millions of people worldwide. As infectious disease cases rise, it's more vital to identify the specific bacterium responsible. This contributes to market growth. MS, PCR, and TOF MS are used to identify bacteria (TOF-MS). These advanced microbe detection technologies aren't available everywhere. Such technologies should be widely available within the projection period.

Automated microorganism identification devices include cutting-edge features and functionalities, and their prices reflect this. MALDI-TOF-based systems cost between 150,000 and 850,000 US dollars. Identification methods demand expensive labour and consumables. Many new quick tests cost between $100 and $250, which is more than conventional cultural processes. Equipment, media, and labour are prohibitively expensive for some end users. Automated microbiological identification methods cost between $50,000 and $75,000. Pharmaceutical companies need a lot of this equipment; hence their capital costs are high. Academic research labs rarely have the budget to buy such equipment. Maintenance and other indirect charges increase the total cost of ownership of these devices. This makes automated microbial identification approaches harder to employ widely, especially in small organisations.

Complex regulatory regimes that delay licencing of novel microbiological diagnostic tests are also expected to hinder expansion. Despite this, technological advances, bioterrorism surveillance, and increasing economies are expected to drive the Microbial Identification Market. FDA approval of devices and consumables is time-consuming and confusing. The In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Directive (IVDD) 98/79/EC was abolished and replaced by the IVDR in May 2016. The European Council made IVDR mandatory in 2017. In May 2023, IVDR will be regulated. Businesses have five years to comply with new regulations. These regulations are complex and stricter. Market participants will find it difficult to integrate their procedures with the new legislation, which can temporarily delay bringing new products to market in the U.S. and Europe. This will improve the global market for microbial identification. Regulatory approvals and turnaround times could hinder the market growth during the projection period.

Emerging economies offer opportunities Forecast Period

Emerging economies are expected to drive microbiological identification market growth. Asia Pacific, Middle Eastern, and Latin American regions provide undiscovered prospects for microbe identification firms. Several Asian governments are offering financial aid to ensure the market for microbial identification grows. International organisations have launched various initiatives throughout Asia, including:

  • COAG will approve Australia's latest antimicrobial resistance plan in 2020. Australia's National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy - 2020 and beyond outlines a 20-year plan to minimise AMR while maintaining access to effective antimicrobials.
  • Thermo Fisher Scientific (US) built a food safety solution centre in India in 2019. The new centre intends to satisfy the needs of food and beverage lab scientists by providing workflows and integrated solutions that improve India's food safety. India's Health and Family Welfare Ministry launched a strategy to eliminate TB in 2017. (2017–2025). The programme seeks to end TB by 2025. The strategy intends to decrease tuberculosis in India by 2025.
  • China has created national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) measures. Antimicrobial Resistance NAP is one initiative (2016–2020). The NAP has funds, a monitoring and evaluation system, and is being implemented.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful method for gathering extensive information about proteome modifications, which is needed for individualised therapy. MS's heightened sensitivity has led to the discovery of tumour-specific proteoforms. The confluence of proteomic, genomic, and transcriptome data gives rise to proteogenomics, which may help us comprehend tumour growth. Proteogenomics may explain how tumours originate. These recent discoveries support the importance of MS-based clinical proteomics in cancer research and speed up its integration into clinical diagnosis and treatment.
