  • The pharmaceuticals segment is one of the most significant with a 32% market share valued at $424 million in 2010. By 2015, this sector is projected to reach a value of $976 million, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%.

INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 
BCC’s goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of the global in vitro toxicity testing market and assess its growth potential over the 5-year period from 2010 to 2015. We were particularly interested in understanding the current market scenario for alternative measures to animal testing.
 
Predictive toxicology is often cross-referenced with in vitro methods. This report assesses the growth and market potential for these methods. In addition, we were interested in understanding the impact of these methods on different industry sectors.
 
One key objective was to present an analysis of the current in vitro toxicity testing market in major national markets and its future direction.
 
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
 
Classical toxicology testing programs have been in place for many decades now. Over the past 2 decades, ongoing animal welfare activities have spurred the idea of pursuing alternative testing measures in toxicity with minimal pain and suffering to animals. This report aims to identify the key advances in different test categories and the extent of validation by the regulatory authorities. We also were interested in identifying the impact of new technology advancements with possible toxicology applications and also examining their growth potential.
 
There are different industries that require toxicity testing of their products. Previously, there was broad coverage of these applications. As this market relies strongly on both technology and regulatory forces, this study was aimed to identify the relevance of current developments on pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food additives, cosmetics, and household products.
 
SCOPE OF REPORT
 
The study encompasses the major types of traditional toxicity testing methods and the in vitro techniques that have been under review of the Interagency Coordinating Committee for Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) test methods for toxicity. BCC discusses the two major technology based approaches, mechanistic and nonmechanistic, and determines current market status; examines impact on future markets; and presents forecasts of growth over the next 5 years. Technological issues, including the latest trends, are discussed. Other influential factors such as validation of these alternative measures for toxicity and toxicity testing strategies for chemicals, pesticides, and food additives have also been included. BCC also examines the regulatory role and the different federal and international agencies that play an active role in in vitro toxicology research.
 
INTENDED AUDIENCE
 
This report is designed to satisfy the information needs of a wide variety of individuals involved in the toxicity marketplace, including company senior management executives seeking to base their strategic decisions on the latest insights into toxicology market forces and trends. It is also aimed at managers and executives in product research and development and particularly those responsible for bringing new products to market.
 
METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
 
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. Primary research includes interviews with leading individuals in relevant companies and associations; primary sources of published data include research studies, company annual reports, and government publications. Secondary sources consist of literature searches, industry journals, and other commercial publications. Data for market estimates and forecasts are pooled from a range of sources, critically assessed by BCC.
