Microbiology Testing Market size was valued at USD 4.59 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 10.73 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of microbiology testing is estimated at USD 4.84 billion. The market growth is owing to the increasing prevalence of various infectious diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A WHO report estimates that over 1 million STIs are acquired each day around the world. As of 2021, 650 000 people have died from HIV-related causes and 1.5 million have contracted the virus. Microbiology testing is used to diagnose and monitor infectious diseases. The process consists of cultivating and identifying bacteria, viruses, and fungi from an individual's body, such as blood or saliva, and then determining if they are causing illness.
Moreover, the increasing urinary tract infections (UTI) is soaring the demand for microbiology testing. Prevalence of UTIs is predicted to be between 150 and 230 million worldwide every year. Number of women who suffer from UTI in the United States is 38%, making it the most common infection among women. UTIs are caused by bacteria, such as E. coli, which can be identified through microbiology testing such as Midstream urine culture (MSU).

Application (Pharmaceutical, Clinical, Food Testing, Energy, Chemical)
The pharmaceutical segment in the microbiology testing market is set to gain the largest revenue share of about 35% in the year 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to the increasing applications of microbiology testing in drug discovery, quality control and safety testing in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, rising R&D spending in the pharma sector is attributed to segment growth. For instance, each year, the pharma industry spends USD 100 billion on R&D.
Product (Instruments, Reagents)
The instruments segment is slated to hold about 57% share of the global microbiology testing market in the year 2037. The growth of the segment is impelled by the growing demand for rapid and automated testing methods, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, and the growing awareness about food safety and quality standards. Additionally, the growing demand for cost-effective methods for testing such as PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and microarray-based testing and the increasing number of regulations mandating the testing in food, healthcare and other industries are also driving the instruments segment growth.

North American Market Forecast
Microbiology testing market in North America is projected to hold a share of about 32% by 2037. Market growth in the region is expected on account of the rising prevalence of food-borne illnesses owing to inadequate food processing. With the increasing contamination of food, there is a greater need for microbiology testing to identify and prevent these illnesses.
APAC Market Analysis
The Asia Pacific microbiology testing market is estimated to be the second largest, registering a share of about 28% by 2037. The market’s expansion is propelled by the rise in the geriatric population in the region. The increasing healthcare expenditure and rising awareness about microbiological testing benefits also influences the regional growth. The availability of advanced technologies such as PCR, and the rising number of NT-PCR testing as a result of surging COVID-19 cases, is further driving the microbiology testing market in region.
