Global Mycoplasma Testing Market Overview


Mycoplasma Testing Market Size was valued at USD 0.38 Billion in 2023. The Global Mycoplasma Testing industry is projected to grow from USD 0.45 Billion in 2024 to USD 0.082 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.45% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).


Global Mycoplasma Testing Market


Mycoplasma testing is used to detect contamination in a biological sample. Increasing R&D costs and new product releases are projected to drive the market growth of the mycoplasma testing. 


The availability of alternative conventional methods will impede the market growth of the mycoplasma testing over the projection period. The market of mycoplasma testing is divided into three categories: product, technique, and application. The market is divided into three categories: kits and reagents, instruments, and services. In 2017, the kits and reagents category is predicted to account for the greatest proportion of the market.


Agathos Biologics has offered analytical testing services to life science researchers since April 2023. Agathos exclusively uses QIAcuity instruments and QIAGEN-developed assays. Moreover, Agathos has collaborated with QIAGEN to perform mycoplasma as well as recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) assay testing and validation.


Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. launched the TrueMark STI Select Panel in February 2023. It is meant to detect the four most common STIs with only a single-panel application. The panel can be used to detect Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium by means of polymerase chain reaction.


As an example, SwiftDx brought to market a new mycoplasma detection kit in February 2023. The newly introduced SwiftDx Mycoplasma Detection Kit uses the Lateral Flow test for fast and easy detection of mycoplasma contaminants.


Merck KGaA spent over $427.3m (€399m) on its Life Science Business’s R&D facilities in December 2022. This investment will help companies develop new, innovative diagnostic technologies, including those that detect mycoplasmas, leading to more accurate, sensitive and affordable tests for these diseases, hence increasing its market penetration.


Abbott received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration on Alinity m STI Assay in May 2022. The test can concurrently identify or differentiate four common STDs like MG (Mycoplasma genitalium).


Performer Availability Screening Service, Inc.(PASS) has partnered with Spankchain in April 2022 to launch an initiative that screens and treats Las Vegas performers who have Mycoplasma genitalium until one thousand performers are reached.


For instance, Fujifilm is investing approximately USD 76 million in Massachusetts in January 2021 for advanced research and development in cell and gene therapy, gene editing, immunotherapy as well as biotechnology.


In July 2020, Roche Diagnostics introduced Cobas 6800 which is an automatic system in India.


Mycoplasma testing is expected to expand due to rising R&D expenditures and the introduction of new products. However, competition from more established technologies will slow the mycoplasma testing market's expansion throughout the forecast period. With better healthcare infrastructure, more unmet healthcare requirements, and more mycoplasma contamination, emerging markets are likely to fuel the expansion of the mycoplasma testing market share. The testing of biologics and vaccines for mycoplasma contamination is also required by recommendations and rules published by regulatory organizations including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Because of this, mycoplasma testing has become more important in the biopharmaceutical sector.


The expansion of the mycoplasma testing market is being fueled by technical developments such as the creation of quicker and more accurate mycoplasma testing methods and devices. In addition, the demand for biologics and biosimilars is rising, which is fueling market expansion. Biologics and biosimilars are susceptible to mycoplasma infection during production, which poses hazards to product quality, effectiveness, and patient safety. Mycoplasma testing solutions are becoming increasingly important as the need for biologics and biosimilars develops, driving the industry forward. 


In April 2023: Agathos Biologics, a frontrunner in the biotech industry, said it will begin providing cutting-edge analytical testing to the life sciences. Their expert staff uses cutting-edge technology to provide unrivaled precision in nucleic acid measurement and cellular analysis, with a particular emphasis on high-content imaging and digital PCR. Agathos relied only on QIAcuity instruments and tests from QIAGEN, and the two companies worked together to validate mycoplasma and rAAV assays.


In December 2022: Pictor, a New Zealand (NZ) startup with offices in the US and India, announced a funding round to advance its Human Health and Animal Health product pipelines and expand into new markets in Australia/New Zealand, the US, and Europe. In light of the recent success of the PictArray SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Test, distributed by Rako Science in New Zealand and major partners in the United States, this development comes as no surprise. To better manage dairy and beef herds in New Zealand and throughout the world, the firm will introduce its PictArray Mycoplasma bovis and Johne's disease tests in the second quarter of 2023.
