The global amebocyte lysate market size USD 562.97 million in 2022 & the market is expected to generate USD 1491 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.43% during the forecast period.

Bacterial endotoxin testing, commonly referred to as amebocyte lysate testing, is used to identify the presence and concentration of bacterial endotoxin in the environment. The Limulus polyphemus, an Atlantic horseshoe crab, is extremely sensitive to endotoxins, according to investigations on its blood clotting mechanism. Later, an endotoxin test was created by combining medication samples with blood clotting factors from amebocytes, where the endotoxin caused the sample to coagulate. Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) is an aqueous extract of blood cells (amoebocytes) from the Atlantic horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus. In order to check for endotoxins in biological products, medical equipment, and injectable medications, LAL reagents are typically utilised. They are used in many other places as well, such renal dialysis centres. Compared to the gelation method, the limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test using chromogenic substrate is quicker and more automated. The LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) test, commonly known as a bacterial endotoxin test, is a critical step in pharmaceutical microbiology and is used to assess the level of bacterial endotoxins in pharmaceuticals and biological products. Gram-negative bacteria have lipopolysaccharides termed endotoxins in their cell walls, which are a subclass of pyrogen. Pyrogens are a class of substances that cause an increase in body temperature. If used in excess of a certain dose, they can be harmful or even fatal to humans.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis has hampered market expansion

Although the COVID-19 pandemic had a favourable effect on the market, it had a negative impact on the sales of routine testing kits, which are primarily used to screen for cancer, blood sugar, cardiac indicators, lipid profile, cholesterol, and other infectious diseases. To assist the testing requirements of their respective nations at the commencement of COVID-19, many governments have initiated a number of programmes during the COVID-19 crisis. For instance, the German federal government requires that businesses distribute free COVID-19 self-testing kits once a week to employees who are not working from home. This requirement took effect in April 2021.

Latest Trends

"High sensitivity and Rising Benefits Leading Market Expansion"

Amebocyte lysate tests are performed in a variety of biomedical institutions, including research institutes, production facilities for medical devices, and pharmaceutical firms. In order to stop the development of serious infections or unfavourable immunological reactions in a person, it is crucial to regulate and manage the amount of endotoxin or pyrogen in medications, particularly parenteral injectable and implanted devices. Additionally, the importance of amebocyte lysate in monitoring high-purity water, a crucial component in the production of biologicals, drugs and medications, and medical devices, has grown due to its high sensitivity in detecting endotoxin compared to other assays. Additionally, the amebocyte lysate test has been widely used in research and development studies to examine the effects of pyrogens and endotoxins on human health and the environment. These elements are anticipated to have a crucial role in the market's future revenue growth.

Driving Factors

"Innovative Methods for Laboratory Testing will fuel The Market Growth"

TÜV SÜD announces its plans to enlarge its Medical and Health Services (MHS) facilities in New Brighton, Minnesota. The 20,000 square foot laboratory expansion to the 36,000 square foot testing facility will provide an end-to-end testing solution for all medical devices by June 2022. The state-of-the-art facility will provide a wide range of biological and chemical testing of medical equipment in addition to TÜV SÜD's current active medical device testing capabilities. TÜV SÜD will be able to finish testing of medical equipment and healthcare equipment even more swiftly with the additional component. The experts at TÜV SÜD will be able to provide customers the most modern solutions to meet the continuously evolving regulatory demands of the medical device sector as a result. This will accelerate market expansion.

"Increasing Infrastructure Spending for Healthcare will fuel The Market Growth"

The increase in healthcare spending, which contributes to the development of the market for limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), is another important reason. The turbidimetric LAL test technique uses a photometric equipment to kinetically assess how cloudy (or turbid) the clotted test fluid is. This LAL variation, which yields quantitative data, is more appropriate than the gel-clot approach (LoD of 0.001 EU/ml) for endotoxin release testing of simple pharmaceutical items. The market dynamics will also be impacted by different government organisations' efforts to strengthen the healthcare infrastructure by boosting financing.

Restraining Factors

"Lacking Of Health Infrastructure Impedes Market Growth"

On the other hand, the government's strict guidelines on animal testing and the rising price of endotoxin detection devices may slow the market's expansion. The market for limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) testing will face difficulties due to a shortage of qualified workers and inadequate healthcare infrastructure in developing nations.
