(PharmaNewsWire.Com, June 08, 2017 ) In-vitro toxicology testing is the scientific analysis of toxic effects produced by chemical substances on cultured mammalian cells or bacteria. Toxicity testing is very essential in drug discovery as identifies the toxic effects of new compound in the early stages of drug discovery. This early detection of toxicity reduces the development cost and time.
Latin America in-vitro toxicology testing market is expected to reach USD 2.45 billion by 2021 from USD 1.26 billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 14.20% for the next five years 2016-2021.
Availability of numerous animal welfare organizations that maintain the reduced utilization of animals for pre-clinical studies, rising investment in research & development to enhance the research in cell culture, increasing number of aging population, growing demand for healthy lifestyle are driving the growth of in-vitro toxicology testing market in Latin America. However, unawareness of advanced toxicology testing procedures and inadequate facilities (such as social & economic factors) for the advancements of new research technologies are restraining the growth of in-vitro toxicology testing market in Latin America.
