Global In-Vitro Toxicology Testing Market

In-vitro Toxicology Testing is the scientific analysis of the effects of toxic chemical substances on mammalian cells or cultured bacteria. In vitro (which means in glass) testing methods are used mainly to identify potentially harmful chemicals and/or to confirm the dearth of certain toxic properties in the early stages of the development of potentially useful new products such as agricultural chemicals, therapeutic drugs, and food additives. The In-vitro Toxicology Testing Market was valued at USAD XXX Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USAD XXX Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of XX% between 2016 and 2021.

Other uses of In vitro toxicity testing include confirming the lack of toxicity, providing useful data information to elucidate toxicity generation and its mechanism and allows to save the time by clearing toxicological elements in the early phase of drug discovery process. In vitro toxicity testing allows for potential optimization of the concentration ranges in respect to toxic doses.

Market Dynamics

Cosmetics industry is gaining prevalence but a major part of the industry involves testing cosmetics in vivo. But with increasing awareness about animal rights and government support like the amendment of the European Union's Cosmetic Directive, animal testing has been banned. This is the major driver of the global in vitro toxicology testing market. Apart from this increasing R&D in this technology, technological advances. Increased funds form the government are other factors driving this industry.

However, the strict regulatory framework and rules, dearth of skilled professionals in the field of invitro toxicology testing, inability to establish the minute intricacies of in vivo through invitro, dearth of in vitro models to identify certain anomalies and endpoints are a major hinderance to the growth of this industry.

Market Segmentation

The In-vitro Toxicology Testing market is segmented on the basis of type, technology, product, method, application, dose, end users and geography. The detailed segmentation of the global market is given below:

Geographic Analysis

Geographically the market is segmented into three different regions: north America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle east and Africa. North America and Europe lead the market for invitro toxicology testing owing to the increased awareness and demand for this technology which has led to its easy adoption, collaborations between foreign and local laboratories which has increased the innovation in the field. Apart from this the increased prevalence of cosmetic industry in Europe have made it the major market holder. However, Asia Pacific is expected to show the greatest growth in future in the global market for invitro toxicology testing owing to the government support for the technology in the region. Apart from this China is going to be the market driver in the Asia Pacific region as the pressure on Chinese to ban animal testing is increasing which has led to increased awareness and investment in invitro toxicology testing. China and India also have increased R&D in biopharmaceutical sector and low development costs which will again boost the market in Asia Pacific.
