PYROGEN TESTING MARKET ANALYSIS

Pyrogen testing plays a major role in advanced healthcare, as it shows the presence of pyrogen in an organism that causes fever. Pyrogen can be found in lipopolysaccharides and lepoteichoic acid. Contaminated pyrogenic products can cause harmful effects such as fever in human body.

Pyrogen testing is used in detection of pyrogen contamination in pharmaceutical dosage forms and medical devices. Pyrogen contaminated injections post administration can cause temperature dysregulation (fever), bodyache, inflammation, shock, multiorgan failure, and other life threatening problems.

The global pyrogen testing market is estimated to be valued at US$ 979.7 million in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.4% over the forecast period (2020-2027).
