MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The development of the early toxicity testing market is the result of the necessity to reduce drug development failures and lower costs. The strict regulation and concern for animals are the main drivers. The development of in vitro and in silico testing methods has made it possible to assess toxicity faster, more accurately, and less costly. That has led to the opening up of safety issues earlier and the closing down of late-stage product failures.

Modern inventions such as the CN Bio PhysioMimix® DILI assay kit are examples of synergies between preclinical toxicology and human-derived liver micro-physiological systems. They allow the simultaneous assessment of several drug candidates and offer better safety understanding. Moreover, the need for tailor-made medicine and drug discovery is on the rise, thus supporting the market further.

On the regulatory front, the FDA is one of the agencies whose strict rules in the United States are boosting the use of high-tech toxicity screening procedures. The launch of Merck's AI-driven platform, AIDDISON™, is a clear instance of the application of generative AI and machine learning to spot non-toxic drug candidates among billions of compounds, thus making the whole drug development process faster. Besides that, high-throughput screening preference and collaboration between the industry and research organizations are also very important factors for the growth of the market.

The implementation of predictive toxicology with AI, ML, and big data allows the prediction of toxicity to be done quickly and accurately with a lesser amount of animal testing. Tools like Toxometris.ai that are integrated into eLabNext's eLabMarketplace help assess toxicity faster, which in turn supports the development of safer drugs. Moreover, the acceptance of alternative testing methods such as in vitro, in silico, and organ-on-chip technologies, as in the case of Emulate Inc.'s Chip-R1™ Rigid Chip, has raised the technological prowess.
