The global toxicology testing market size is estimated to increase by USD 27.5 billion growing at a CAGR of 15.09% between 2022 and 2027. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including a rise in toxicology testing in the food industry, regular use of toxicology testing in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and increasing use of in-vitro tests as an alternative to animal testing. The global toxicology testing market is fragmented and is characterized by a mix of global and regional vendors. These vendors are constantly trying to invest in technology to develop innovative and advanced testing that is used across various end-user industries. Vendors are focusing on organic and inorganic strategies, such as technological innovations and mergers and acquisitions, to strengthen their position in the market.
This toxicology testing market research report extensively covers market segmentation by technology (cell culture technology, high throughput technology, molecular imaging, and omics technology), end-user (pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and others), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of World (ROW)). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.

The rise in toxicology testing in the food industry is notably driving market growth. The food industry has continually made improvements in safety testing methods, particularly focusing on microbial contaminants. The rapidly growing use of food additives, food contact substance development, and changing weather conditions has increased the need to explore the use of high-throughput chemical toxicology testing approaches for food safety as they are hazardous. Food additives are substances that are added to food to enhance the quality of food, such as taste and appearance, and for preservation.
The effects of several toxicants in food lead to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Further, oxidative reactions lead to an accumulation of damaged macromolecules that harms cells, tissues, and organs. Therefore, toxicants may play an important role in cell death, chronic inflammation, ageing, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, and Huntington's diseases, as well as multiple sclerosis, myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, sterility, cataract, and many others. Hence, the increasing number of chemicals used in the food industry and the cost- and time-efficient in-vitro high-throughput toxicology testing methods allow toxicologists and scientists to estimate the risk potential of chemicals and thus benefit the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Advances in toxicology is the primary trend driving the market growth. The field of toxicology is characterized by the advanced understanding of the human biological system and diseases at a molecular level while reducing the risk of human and animal studies. The adoption of techniques such as in-vitro and in-silico testing methods is increasing as a replacement for in-vivo methods as they involve experimentation on whole living organisms as opposed to dead organisms.
The need to detect diseases at a molecular level and screen chemicals in the pharmaceutical industry to identify specific biological functionalities with minimal adverse effects has made the in-vivo method not beneficial. Thus, the in-vitro testing method is evolving due to advances in various technologies, such as cell culture technologies, cellular imaging technologies, and toxicogenomics. This is because the in-vitro testing method is used for the procedure in a controlled environment and not on human or animal models. Advances in 3D cell culture technologies, which are gradually replacing 2D technologies, are enabling toxicology testing to develop complex models that can easily mimic in-vivo systems. Thus, advancements in the field of toxicology are positively impacting the growth of the global toxicology testing market during the forecast period.
The lack of skilled professionals is the major challenge impeding market growth. The use of toxicology testing is increasing at a rapid rate. A major challenge in these scientific fields is the lack of technically skilled and trained staff, i.e., toxicologists. Toxicology testing is often complex and requires sophisticated techniques and instruments for various analysis procedures. The most important component in biopharmaceutical, university, and forensic science is the professional, scientific staff. The minimum required skills are usually gained through formal education, training, and operational (on-the-job) experience.
Toxicology testing requires a lot of prior knowledge of chemical components and their metabolizing process in the living system, as certain concentrations of chemicals can be lethal for cells or alter the genetic system (change in gene sequence, i.e., mutation). Extensive training and experience are required to operate all stages for accurate toxicology testing. The limited number of such trained professionals will act as a challenge to the growth of the global toxicology testing market during the forecast period.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of vendors has been conducted to help clients understand the wider business environment as well as the strengths and weaknesses of key market players. Data is qualitatively analyzed to categorize vendors as pure play, category-focused, industry-focused, and diversified; it is quantitatively analyzed to categorize vendors as dominant, leading, strong, tentative, and weak.
The market share growth by the cell culture technology segment will be significant during the forecast period. Cell culture technology is used for screening toxicity both by estimation of the basal functions of the cell or by tests on specialized cell functions. Numerous cell types are used in general toxicity tests, which primarily aim to assess the biological activity of test chemicals (e.g., fibroblasts, HeLa, and hepatoma cells). When chemical in-vivo toxicity is well known and in-vitro studies employing specialist cell cultures have been employed to elucidate the mechanisms of harmful action on the target tissue, cytotoxicity testing using specialized cells has proven to be most helpful.
