Global Pharmaceutical Analytical Testing Market Drivers:

Growing demand for analytical testing services/solutions across the globe is expected to boost the growth of the pharmaceutical analytical testing market over the forecast period. For instance, bio-pharmaceutical companies do analytical testing to characterize biologics and biosimilars, improve productivity, and provide real-time product quality control. In July 2021, LGM Pharma announced the launch of Analytical Services offering that provides analytical testing and stability services to pharmaceutical industry clients. LGM is now offering its analytical services expertise and facilities as a standalone contract service for pharmaceutical industry clients.

Increase in number of drug approvals and clinical trials around the world is expected to augment the growth of the global pharmaceutical analytical testing market during the forecast period. For instance, the number of registered clinical trials has increased significantly in the recent years. The FDA's (Food and Drug Administration’s) approval count last year was in line with recent trends, despite the continued impact of COVID-19. The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 50 novel therapeutics in 2021. The five-year average sits at 51 drugs per year. A decade ago, it was 24 drugs per year. This in turn is expected to drive market growth.

Global Pharmaceutical Analytical Testing Market Opportunities:

Government initiatives to strengthen analytical testing capabilities are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the pharmaceutical analytical testing market. For instance, to improve the process of drug review and approval, the government of China issued a notification to upgrade the quality of generic drugs, remove backlog of drug applications, improve the quality and transparency of the review and approval process, and encourage new drug R&D (research and development) in line with global development. This in turn is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the market.

The outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players in the global pharmaceutical analytical testing market. According to WHO, the global pandemic has significantly increased the demand for biological medicines such as vaccines. As per to WHO, as of April 15, 2022, around 349 vaccines were being developed, which is expected to increase the demand for analytical testing services for COVID-19 vaccines under clinical trials. For instance, Eurofins Scientific supported the testing of Ad26.COV2.S, an investigational COVID-19 vaccine candidate by Johnson & Johnson.
