The microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market has expanded rapidly in recent years. It is projected to grow from $6.68 billion in 2024 to $7.44 billion in 2025, reflecting a CAGR of 11.5%.
The drivers of this growth include the demand for personalized medicine, global pandemic preparedness, rising awareness of healthcare-associated infections, increased incidence of foodborne illnesses, and industrialization in emerging markets.
The microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market is expected to grow swiftly, reaching $11.33 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 11.1%.
The growth is driven by the increasing occurrence of foodborne illnesses, regulatory compliance, globalized food supply chains, the expanding pharmaceutical sector, and environmental monitoring needs. Key trends include technological innovations, higher R&D investments, advanced analytical techniques, automation, and data analytics integration.
The rising incidence of foodborne diseases is expected to boost the microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market. Foodborne diseases occur when contaminated food or drinks are consumed, typically due to pathogens, toxins, or chemicals. Factors like changes in food production, globalization of supply chains, poor food safety measures, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change are increasing these incidents. Microbiology and bacterial culture are vital for detecting pathogens in industrial testing, ensuring food safety, and preventing outbreaks. For example, in February 2024, the UK Health Security Agency reported 167 cases of listeriosis in England and Wales in 2022, up from 160 in 2021, which will further promote the growth of the market.
