The mycoplasma contamination is a significant problem for all pharma & biotech firms as it will lead to human diseases and interact with cell culture. In culture, mycoplasma generally alters the replication of mammalian cells and other cellular processes that typically lead to a decrease in the production of recombinant proteins. Checking for mycoplasma infection in the processing of substrates for cell culture is also important. Contamination of mycoplasma typically originates from products of cell culture, such as serum, or an infected operator.

Different government agencies are gradually funding research programs in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. For example, to promote research-based efforts for new drug production, the U.S. government extends financial assistance to multinational pharmaceutical firms. The FDA in April 2019 stated its decision to change the regulations for the single research form used for mycoplasma detection.

According to the department, the legislation is stringent in nature and therefore prohibits the use of other types of research that could have the ability to diagnose mycoplasma reliably. These developments in the regulation of biologics are supposed to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of mycoplasma detection tests, and new methods are emerging. The growth in federal support for pharmaceutical and biotechnology research has also accelerated R&D operations, fostering the tremendous application of mycoplasma testing.

Owing to massive investments in R&D activities by pharma & biotech firms, the segment accounted for the highest market share in 2019. These industries are involved in raw material quality controls, thereby ensuring biological safety management. Also, due to an increase in the prevalence of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, the biopharmaceutical industry is growing.

The global mycoplasma testing market is categorized based on the product, technology, application, and end-use. Region-wise, North America mycoplasma testing accounted for the majority of the market share in 2019. However, due to the substantial awareness and funding initiatives developed by countries such as India, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region by 2028. Different developmental measures are being pursued by the Indian Government to promote additional R&D programs to launch new medicines. Also, in the near term, regulatory measures implemented by healthcare organizations favoring changes in the efficiency of biosafety are projected to expand growth opportunities.
