Bioburden testing refers to an estimation of microbial load on a medical instrument, raw material, packaged goods among others. Several factors such as rising medical spending, increasing food safety concerns and growing product recalls due to microbial contamination are projected to drive the growth of the market.
The Bioburden Testing Market Share is expected to grow at a rate of roughly 13% between 2022 and 2030.
Bioburden testing is carried out to limit the chances of any microbial contamination in a non-sterile product. Increasing food safety concerns is among a key factor supporting the growth of the market. Rise in a number of product recalls due to microbial contamination, food & beverage manufacturers are directing their focus towards prevention of contamination. The US FDA has mandated enactment of food safety measures for protecting consumer health which has further generated demand for bioburden testing.
Bioburden testing is standard in quality control of medical devices to ensure suitability of the devices which fosters the growth of the global bioburden testing market. Surging cases of sterility failures, raw material contamination, and requirement to ensure compliance with stringent FDA regulations pertaining to medical device testing has generated demand for bioburden testing.
Test methods and specifications outlined by federal agencies of numerous countries suggest performing bioburden testing to ensure the viability of the volume of microorganisms present in pharmaceutical products. This can positively affect market prospects.
Bioburden Testing Market Outlook and Analysis By Test Type (Aerobic Count, Anaerobic Count, and others), by Product Type (Consumables, Instruments), by Application (Raw Materials Testing, Medical Devices Testing, and others), by End-User - Forecast Till 2030
However, bioburden testing procedures are time, labor and space intensive which might restrain the growth of the market. The high cost of microbial enumeration instruments is also a hindrance to the market. Lack of uniform international standards might also curb the growth of the market. However, the development of more efficient bioburden testing procedures has contributed to the growth of the market.
