Healthcare analytical testing services ensure the safety and efficacy of medical and pharmaceutical products and are an essential aspect of the drug development and manufacturing processes. Rising regulatory stringency, increasing outsourcing of research and development and manufacturing activities by leading pharmaceutical companies, and the rising requirement for consistent quality assurance and control for healthcare and pharmaceutical products are further driving the growth of the market.

Increasing Pharmaceutical Outsourcing Boosts Market Demand

Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly seeking contract research organizations (CROs) to comply with regulatory requirements and minimize internal costs. This increased reliance can also be attributed to the rapid expansion of pharmaceutical industries across the globe. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India has the highest number of United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) compliant pharmaceutical plants outside the United States and over 2000 World Health Organization- Good Manufacturing Practices (WHO-GMP) approved facilities.

Additionally, regulatory bodies such as the US FDA are tightening their quality assurance frameworks, necessitating greater testing accuracy and documentation, thus encouraging pharmaceutical companies to partner with external laboratories that provide advanced analytical testing services. The increasing requirement of complex biologics, biosimilars, and personalized therapies is creating additional demand for sophisticated testing protocols that ensure patient safety and product consistency. Thus, outsourcing provides a strategic and economic alternative to pharmaceutical companies that are working on remaining compliant and competitive in the rapidly evolving pharmaceutical industry.

Rising Requirement for Biologics and Biosimilars Supports Market Expansion

Biologics, including monoclonal antibodies, cell and gene therapies, and recombinant proteins, require rigorous analytical characterization as they are sensitive to environmental conditions due to their complex structure. Analytical testing of these products includes structural elucidation, potency assays, impurity profiling, and stability assessment. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and diabetes are also propelling the requirement for biologics. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 2,041,910 new cancer cases will be reported in the United States in 2025. This increase is thus creating the demand for constant quality assurance. Regulatory agencies are mandating extensive analytical data to provide approval to biologic and biosimilar products, resulting in the increased demand for specialized testing services that include chromatography, mass spectrometry, immunoassays, and cell-based assays.

Bioanalytical Testing Services Account for Significant Share of the Market

The growth of the segment can be attributed to its role in the evaluation of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bioequivalence studies during clinical trials. These testing services are essential for determining the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profile of drugs, particularly for novel biosimilars, biologics, and specialty medications. Additionally, rising clinical trial volumes across phases I to IV, especially in oncology, and immunotherapy, are further increasing the demand for bioanalytical testing services. CROs and pharmaceutical companies are heavily investing in automation technologies and high-throughput platforms to meet this rising demand while ensuring regulatory compliance. Additionally, increasing acquisitions of various analytical service providers is also supporting the segment’s growth. For instance, in December 2023, Sterling Accuris Wellness Private Limited acquired Vaibhav Analytical Services, an NABL-accredited laboratory that adheres to international standards and serves clients across India. The acquisition aligns with Sterling Accuris Diagnostics' commitment to advance healthcare through innovation and excellence in diagnostics and analytical testing services and allows the company to meet the growing demand for comprehensive testing solutions.

North America Holds Major Market Share

The market’s growth in North America can be attributed to the strong presence of leading healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, rising requirement for high-end pharmaceuticals and medical devices to combat the growing threat of various diseases and disorders, and increasing need for regulated drug development processes to meet the safety standards. The growing number of ongoing clinical trials in the region are also positively influencing the market’s growth. The demand for complete analytical testing services for biosimilars, vaccine development, and novel drug formulations has also increased in the region. Additionally, the leading service providers in the country are investing in expanding their analytical testing services. For instance, in March 2024, LGM Pharma LLC invested over USD 2 million in standalone analytical testing services (ATS) and expanded these services by 50% while adding suppository manufacturing capabilities to its contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) portfolio, at their facility in Texas, United States. The new suppository manufacturing capabilities address the growing demand for specialized drug delivery methods, particularly for geriatric, pediatric, and women's health needs. Such investments further supports the expansion of the market in North America.
