Microbial Identification Market By Products & Services, By Method, By Application, By End User, and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Microbial Identification Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Products & Services (Instruments, Consumables, and Services), By Method (Phenotypic method, Genotypic method, and Proteomics-based method), By Application (Diagnostic application, Food testing, Beverage testing, Cosmetics Personal care products testing, Pharmaceutical application, Environmental application, and other application), By End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories and Blood banks, Food manufacturing companies, Beverage manufacturers, Pharmaceutical companies & CRO's, and Others), and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Microbial Identification Market size was valued at US$ 4.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 8.9 billion by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 11.8% from 2025-2031. The growth of the market is mainly driven by the growing occurrence of infectious diseases, combined with influenza and pandemic outbreaks, rising concerns about food safety, technical developments in microbial identification techniques, and government initiatives and funding to encourage microbial identification. However, high cost of the equipment hinders the market. In 2015, Charles River laboratories have acquired Celsis International Ltd. for $212 million US$ to improve its product portfolio.

This market report provides a comprehensive outlook on worldwide with a specific focus on the key regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA. This report gives historical, current, and future market size (US$ Mn) on the basis of product & services, method, application, end user, and geography. This study analyses the global market dynamics in a detailed manner to identify current trends and drivers, growth opportunities and potential challenges to the key stakeholders in the operating market. In addition, PBI has analyzed the global market to better equip customers with possible investment opportunities across region and consumer unmet needs.

Microbial Identification Market Dynamics

One of the critical factors that will drive market growth is the increasing demand for food safety testing. During production, microbes from natural sources contaminate the food, contributing to food spoilage and food borne illnesses. With increasing cases of food borne diseases, food safety testing is becoming increasingly relevant. Governments in many countries have also begun to concentrate on the implementation of food safety regulations and are tracking the efficacy of control measures to eliminate food borne diseases. The need for these goods and services to restrict these items would then be motivated by this. During the forecast period, these trends would increase the global market size for microbial identification.
