Global Biological Safety Testing Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global biological safety testing market

Technavio’s research analysis on the biological safety testing market identifies the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the market’s growth. There is a rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe. According to the CDC, almost 2 million people will be affected by cancer in the US by 2020. Additionally, it has also been observed by the CDC that chronic diseases account for almost 85% of the country’s healthcare expenditure. This growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the cost burden for treating them, will demand the need for new drugs. This will subsequently drive the need for biological safety testing and biosafety cabinet testing, fueling market growth. According to the biological safety testing industry analysis, Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 11% by 2021.

The growing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the biological safety testing market during the next four years. Patients incur incremental costs to cure the acquired infection at hospitals. It has been observed that HAIs increase patient stays by almost 20 days. Moreover, hospitals are also exempt from reimbursements if their prevalence of HAIs is high. This will rise the need for biological safety cabinet testing from hospitals to ensure the prevention of HAIs.
