Asia Pacific Mycoplasma Testing Market

APAC Mycoplasma Testing Market Size & Growth (2022 to 2027):

The Size of the Mycoplasma Testing Market in the Asia Pacific is valued at USD 137.85 Million in 2022 and is expected to be growing at a CAGR of 16.7%, to reach USD 298.37 Million by 2027 during the forecast period 2022 to 2027.

DRIVERS

Mycoplasma spreads easily through droplets through cell culture and can persist in a dry form for months. Mycoplasma infection is complex to see under a microscope and requires specific tests to be detected. Infection can have an acute impact on experimental work depending on the species present. These will lead to cross contamination of cell cultures and drive the growth rate for mycoplasma testing.

Major bio pharmaceutical companies operating in the market are making various strategic investments, such as launching innovative products, advancing research and development, and technological innovations, which are gaining popularity in the mycoplasma testing market and expand the consumer base to survive in a competitive business environment in APAC regions.

RESTRAINTS

Lack of trained / skilled molecular biologists is expected to slow the market growth during the forecast period. Mycoplasma testing requires certain specialized skills seen in professional from life sciences, pharmaceuticals, electronics and software industries. The lack of trained personnel capable of conducting molecular biology experiments and interpreting the results is a major limitation of testing and containment of COVID-19 in developing countries.

OPPORTUNITIES

The growing incidences of mycoplasma pneumonia cross infection in many COVID-19 patients is expected to drive the market for mycoplasma testing during the forecast period. The presence of M. pneumonia cross infection increases the necessity to get the patients tested for COVID-19, increasing the demand for routine diagnostic tests for respiratory pathogens such as M. pneumonia. Co-infections in COVID-19 cases have a significant likelihood of being caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

CHALLENGES

The high degree of consolidation is a significant barrier to entry for new entrants, which in turn is expected to restrict investment and therefore slow the growth potential of this market.
