Genetic toxicology testing is a specialized in-depth study of the biotechnology industry, detecting the harmful substances in the body and removing them. It also evaluates the compounds that cause chromosomal damage & induce genetic mutation. Nowadays, the industry is focusing on making personalized medicines and drugs, creating new opportunities in the market for genetic toxicology testing. Screening techniques help determine compounds with potential human risk because DNA reactive substances can trigger carcinogenic processes.
The global genetic toxicology testing market was positively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic owing to increasing demand for quick toxicology testing of SARS-CoV-2. During the pandemic, many in-vitro kits like in vitro toxicology assays and consumables for SARS-CoV-2 toxicology testing as well as diagnostics were approved by FDA, resulting in demand for the industry.
However, the genetic toxicology market was affected because of certain reasons, including the shortage of medical supplies and equipment, regular patient visits with increasing cases, travel restrictions, lockdowns, and a pause in manufacturing activities. However, with activities restarted, the genetic toxicology testing market flourished with increasing profiling studies, SARS-CoV-2 toxicology testing, and healthcare awareness among people.
As the research and development in biotechnology are increasing with rising investment and rising demand for personalized medicines in many countries such as the U.S., India, Japan, Germany, China, and many others, the genetic toxicology testing market is flourishing.
