Indian Chemical & Biological Testing Market Segment Analysis – By Type
The material testing segment held a significant portion of the Indian chemical & biological testing market share in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Chemical testing and analysis are critical for regulatory compliance as well as understanding the quality and composition of chemicals and materials used in commodities, industrial processes, and production. Thus, chemical & biological testing is vital for testing the materials. Moreover, material testing is employed in various industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and more to ensure the chemicals used in these industries do not exceed the set permissible limits, which may cause harm to human health and the environment. Moreover, the surging investment in the Indian pharmaceutical research and development activities, new manufacturing facilities growth related to medicine in India, and other factors are also playing a vital role in the surging adoption of material testing. Thus, due to the above-mentioned factors, the adoption of material testing is surging in India. This, in turn, is propelling the Indian market growth.
Indian Chemical & Biological Testing Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
The chemical industry held a significant share in the Indian chemical & biological testing market in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Chemical and biological testing are used in the chemical industry because chemical and biological indicators are test systems that contain viable microorganisms and levels of dangerous chemicals, with a well-defined resistance to a particular sterilizing method. These features of chemical and biological testing ensure superior chemical quality within the regulatory limits. Factors such as the expansion of the chemical manufacturing facilities in India, the new factory developments, and other similar factors are accelerating the Indian chemical industry growth in the region. For instance, according to Invest India, the production activities related to major chemicals increased in India to 73.04 lakh tons during 2021-22 over 59.08 lakh tons during 2020-2021, an increase of 23.62%. Hence, the growth of the chemical industry in India is accelerating the adoption of chemical and biological testing in India, which, in turn, is spurring the market growth in India.
Indian Chemical & Biological Testing Market Drivers
Bolstering Pharmaceutical Production
Biological safety testing is often performed in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that biopharmaceutical commodities such as medications, treatments, vaccines, blood and blood-derived products, stem cell, tissue banks, and other biologics are free of contamination. The surging regulatory scrutiny, government initiatives, and domestic price regulations are the key determinants driving the pharmaceutical industry's growth in India. For instance, according to Invest India, in 2021, India's pharmaceutical sector was valued at US$41.7. Also, India's pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to grow to US$65 billion by 2024 and US$120 billion by 2030. Furthermore, India is the world's largest provider of generic medications, accounting for 20% of worldwide supply by volume, and the world's leading vaccine manufacturer. Hence, the bolstering pharmaceutical industry is fueling the demand for biological testing. As a result, the surging demand for biological testing is monetarily benefiting the market growth in India.
Indian Government Aiding the Growth of Chemical Testing Facilities
The Indian government has launched and supported Startup India. It aims to create a robust ecosystem that fosters startup growth. The chemical and biological testing providers are benefited from such governmental initiatives. For instance, National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) implemented the Testing Labs Scheme (which added its new parameters in 2020), which developed multiple NABL / BIS-accredited testing laboratories and provides material and product testing, energy audits, and facilities, thereby boosting their overall competitiveness. Therefore, the Indian government measures aiding the growth of the chemical and biological testing growth in India are driving the Indian chemical & biological testing market growth.
Indian Chemical & Biological Testing Market Challenges
High Cost of Testing
Chemical and biological testing has several advantages, including detection of chemical and microbe levels, compliance with regulation, and more. However, on the flip side of this, the high cost of chemical testing is restricting the market growth in India. For instance, according to the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), the testing cost of a chemical with 00/400 MHz NMR -Solid state is INR 12,000 (US$154.49) per sample, and the chemical with 500 MHz NMR -Solid state is 14,000 (US$180.24) per sample, and other chemicals have different charges. The high cost of chemical testing increases the overall cost of the products. Hence, the high cost of the testing is one of the major factors, which may limit the Indian chemical & biological testing market growth.
