Analyst Viewpoint
Growth in research & development activities and increase in resistance against the practice of animal testing are primary factors boosting the toxicology testing services market size. The safety quotient (SQ) of a drug, chemical, or foodstuff rises if it is checked for toxicity.
Toxicity testing plays a key role in identification of potential adverse effects of chemicals. Rise in predictive toxicology, which predicts properties correlating to toxicity endpoints, is offering lucrative toxicology testing services industry opportunities to companies operating in this sector.
Ban on animal testing in some of the countries has led to a rise in adoption of alternative methods for toxicology testing. This is also fostering market development. Companies operating in the global toxicology testing services market are providing cutting-edge toxic substance analysis and drug toxicity evaluation techniques to increase their market share.
Toxicology testing constitutes finding out the level at which a substance of interest can adversely affect regular biological functions of organisms. 3D cell culture is looked upon as one of the notable advancements, which facilitates safety testing of compounds in in-vitro environment mirroring host physiology.
Researchers are engaged in development of toxicology testing services based on kinetic tissue culture methods, co-culture systems, and 3D human tissue constructs as replacements to animal testing.
Toxicogenomics-based toxicology testing in preclinical studies include ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase assay, direct peptide reactivity assay, and Human Cell Line Activation Test (h-CLAT).
Toxicology testing also helps safeguard the environment. Specialized toxicology testing for environmental risk assessment helps in determining if concentrations of contaminants in a site’s media are higher enough to cause adverse effects in organisms.
However, complexity in data management and analysis has proved to be a key restraint for the toxicology testing services market revenue, as voluminous data generated with in-vitro toxicology experiments leads to the release of large-scale datasets.
Analysis of this data entails advanced computational tools, which can prove to be costly in terms of maintenance. For instance, a pharma company that conducts toxicity screening for any new drug candidate is likely to generate terabytes of data from several assays, making it difficult for researchers to extract insights efficiently.
Drug toxicity evaluation is vital for the development of new drugs and for the extension of the therapeutic potential of the existing molecule. Toxicity testing of new compounds plays a key role in the drug development process.
Increase in need for detection of toxicity of chemicals or drugs in the initial stages of development has led to a rise in research and development activities. Predictive toxicology implies reliance on structure-activity relationship (SAR) modeling for predicting biological activities in chemical structures.
Computational approaches are proving to be conducive to predictive toxicology. Drug toxicity evaluation implies early recognition of the potentially toxic drug molecules. Rise in research activities in this regard is accelerating the demand for integrated toxicology and safety pharmacology services.
There has been a marked resistance against the practice of animal testing for biomedical research in several countries across the globe.
Growth in awareness regarding animal rights and understanding of ethical dilemmas and limitations related to conventional animal testing methods is a primary factor that is driving the need for alternative approaches toward assessing toxicity and safety of products without dependency on experimentation on animals.
Apart from being cumbersome, animal testing entails safety risks around animals involved. For instance, working with rabbit and rodent models increases the chances of contracting zoonotic diseases.
in 2003, the European Animal Research Association passed the 7th Amendment to EU Directive 76/768/EEC, introducing measured prohibition on testing of animals for cosmetics. In March 2013, 100% ban took effect, thereby rendering it unlawful to sell or market cosmetics within the EU if constituent ingredients or finished product were subject to animal testing.
Poison screening solutions are used to detect inorganic poisons in drink and foodstuff. Manufacturers of these solutions are also striving to eliminate the practice of animal testing.
As per the latest toxicology testing services market analysis, North America accounted for the largest share of the global industry in 2022. The region is home to numerous enterprises that provide toxicology testing services.
The U.S. Government has been enacting strict regulations regarding safety assessment of medical devices and chemicals. This is also augmenting the market dynamics of North America.
Toxicology testing services market scenario in Europe and Asia Pacific is expected to witness linear transition toward safety and cost-effectiveness with respect to chemical toxicity testing and toxic substance analysis during the forecast period.
Government bodies of Europe have floated amendments in regulations relating to assessment of safety of chemical substances. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is projected to record considerable market progress in the near future, as CROs in the region are offering toxicology testing services as per regulatory requirements at cheaper prices as compared to those offered in developed countries.
The toxicology testing services market is fragmented, with presence of several well-established players across the globe. Companies are investing in advanced equipment and state-of-the-art facilities in order to support their analytical and bioanalytical activities.
Companies operating in the global landscape are also collaborating with key players to expand their footprint. In March 2023, Agilent Technologies, Inc. completed the acquisition of e-MSion for integrating the latter’s ExD cell into its portfolio comprising advanced analytical solutions and workflows for biotherapeutic development and characterization.
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Charles River Laboratories, Inc., Eurofins Scientific, Bureau Veritas, Envigo, Evotec AG, Merck KGaA, SGS Group, Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC, and WuXi AppTech are the leading players that account for large toxicology testing services market share.
These firms have been profiled in the toxicology testing services market report based on parameters such as company overview, business strategies, financial overview, product portfolio, and business segments.
