Mycoplasma Testing Market size was valued at USD 942.01 million in 2023. The market is anticipated to grow from USD 1,064 million in 2024 to USD 2,909 million by 2032, exhibiting the CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period.
Mycoplasma is a microorganism that is known for causing respiratory tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases among human beings. The increasing respiratory and sexually transmitted disease cases is unraveling the importance of utilizing mycoplasma testing in the pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing settings. The ongoing research activities focusing on designing compatible mycoplasma testing tools are optimally influencing the market growth.
Moreover, as per a 2022 study published in Cytotechnology Journal, mycoplasma is expected to present in nearly 35% of cell cultures incorporated in research and therapeutics development. It is capable of changing cell physiology in cell cultures, and is unable to identify through a microscope. This is making the researchers undergo mycoplasma testing in their research procedures, driven by their potential to alter research findings.
Rising research studies exploring mycoplasma detection
The growing knowledge about the effect of certain microorganisms in disrupting body functions is showcasing the importance of ensuring the contaminant-free laboratory environment at the time of therapeutics development. Moreover, the increasing studies working on creation of effective mycoplasma detection tools are anticipated to showcase significant growth opportunities in the coming years. For instance, a 2023 study published in MDPI focused on exploring the development and evaluation of qPCR assays for mycoplasma detection in cell cultures.
The growing incidence of mycoplasma-related health issues
Food and healthcare sectors showing emphasis on promoting consumer safety. This shift is significantly supporting the demand for mycoplasma testing, driven by growing prevalence of health problems driven by the intake of mycoplasma-contaminated medicine, therapies, and food products. According to the National Health Commission, in November 2023, China registered a significant rise in hospital admissions and outpatient consultations due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This trend is expected to drive new potential opportunities for mycoplasma testing in the forecast timeframe.
The unwillingness to adopt new technological solutions
The higher costs of deploying testing infrastructure, along with the need to adopt new technological innovations, are expected to restrain mycoplasma testing market growth. Academicians and researchers are anticipated to show reluctance to embrace the latest innovations, due to the familiarity and convenience of traditional methods, embarking on a significant obstacle to the expansion of the mycoplasma testing market.

Assays, Kits, & Reagents segment poised to witness the highest growth during the forecast period
The assays, kits, and reagents segment are expected to grow at a reasonable CAGR during the anticipated period. This is attributable to the rising new development of therapeutics, primarily cell and gene, contributing to the need for kits, reagents, and assays to test the presence of mycoplasma, as it can mislead the therapeutic results.
The instruments segment led the market with a substantial revenue share in 2023, largely attributable to the increasing demand for accurate, fast, and cost-effective testing solutions in the marketplace. The potential of instruments in efficiently determining the presence of harmful bacteria in medicines is gaining attention in the pharmaceutical space, as it plays a major role in promoting the safety and efficacy of cell-based therapies.
NAT segment witnessed the largest market share in 2023
The NAT (nucleic acid amplification) segment registered for the largest market share in 2023 and is expected to continue its market position throughout the study period. The multiple advantages of NAT, including robustness, sensitivity, and faster results, are contributing to the increased adoption of this technology in mycoplasma testing.
The ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the next few years. This is due to the rapid increase in demand for cell banks. It is widely used in laboratory tests to identify antibodies in blood against mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Cell line testing segment held the significant market revenue share in 2023
The cell line testing segment held a significant market share in revenue in 2023, which was highly accelerated due to the continuous rise in the use of cell cultures. The growing research and development activities in the production and manufacturing of medicines necessitate the need to employ mycoplasma testing, driving substantial investments in cell line testing.
The end-of-production cell testing segment is expected to register significant growth over the study period. This is primarily driven by its ability to check for bacterial contamination in the production of medicines, thereby, creating effective and safe pharmaceutical solutions to the patients.
Pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment registered a dominant share in 2023
The Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies segment witnessed a dominant share in 2023. This is highly attributable to the growing investments in the development of cell and gene therapies, for the multiple health problems. The growing focus on new therapeutics development is likely to fuel the demand for bacteria testing tools, including mycoplasma.The contract research organizations segment is expected to register significant growth in the next few years, driven by the rising establishment of contract research organizations. They are specialized in offering services in the development, production, and testing of biopharmaceutical products, which will significantly boost the demand for mycoplasma testing tools in the long run.
North America region registered the largest share of the global market in 2023
The North America region held the dominant share in 2023. This is due to the existence of robust infrastructure with larger government agencies, particularly the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the fastest growing region with a higher CAGR during the forecast timeframe, owing to the presence of major players focusing on the production of reliable medicines and therapies. For instance, in May 2023, HiMedia Laboratories announced the new initiative to offer customized testing services for mycoplasma cell line detection, drug screening, cell line authentication, and bioproduction platforms. This trend is expected to create mycoplasma testing opportunities in the region.
Rising product innovations will drive advancements in the marketplace
The mycoplasma testing market is a mixture of consolidation and fragmentation. It is anticipated to witness significant competition with the growing research activities on developing early detection mycoplasma tools. For instance, in February 2023, SwiftDx unveiled a mycoplasma detection kit with the capability to offer a faster and more convenient solution.
