2014 Report on the International In-Vitro Toxicology/ Toxicity Testing (Diagnostic, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Chemical) Market - Forecast to 2018
M2 - Tue Jun 10, 9:23AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2m7bzc/invitro) has announced the addition of the "2014 Report on the International In-Vitro Toxicology/ Toxicity Testing (Diagnostic, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Chemical) Market - Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. Attributed to the support offered by the European government, the in vitro toxicology testing market in Europe was the largest in 2013 and is expected to hold the same stance by 2018. There has been a substantial rise in the costs to develop a new pharmaceutical product in recent years. This is specially observed when a new compound enters animal testing and clinical trials. The use of animals in experimentation is becoming dearer, primarily due to the costs involved in breeding and acquisition of animals, due to the complexity of procedures involved in the in vivo testing, and several other ethical issues including concerns for animal welfare. Moreover the rates of drug attrition have also risen in recent years due to lesser availability of data on the toxicity profiles of the candidates that are under development process. To counteract these issues there has been a rise in the development of in vitro methods that are alternative to animal testing. A paradigm shift is observed towards emerging technologies such as assays based on human cells or non-mammalian models, high throughput testing, omics approaches, ex vivo models, and in silico techniques.
