(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The U.S. pharmaceutical sterility testing market is set to grow, driven by rising drug innovations, government healthcare investments, and demand for biologics. Opportunities lie in rapid microbiological methods, enhanced automation, AI analytics, and outsourcing to manage costs and ensure compliance with stringent regulations and novel drug releases.

Dublin, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "U.S. Pharmaceutical Sterility Testing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Outsourcing, In-house), By Product, By Test (Sterility Testing, Bioburden Testing), By Sample (Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices), By End-use, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. pharmaceutical sterility testing market size was estimated at USD 0.67 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.70 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.04% from 2025 to 2033. The market is driven by increasing R&D activities, growing drug innovations, rising focus on quality & sterility, and rising government investments in healthcare.

Besides, rising demand for biologics, personalized medicines, and stringent regulatory requirements from the FDA and USP is expected to support the market growth. In addition, the adoption of rapid microbiological methods (such as PCR and ATP bioluminescence), increased automation to minimize errors, and the use of AI-driven analytics for improved data interpretation is contributing to growing trends toward outsourcing and managing costs effectively.

Also, the market is shifting towards faster and more reliable testing solutions that ensure product safety and compliance, especially as the complexity of pharmaceutical manufacturing increases and there is an increased focus on patient safety.
Moreover, the rising number of drug launches globally continues to be a significant growth driver for the pharmaceutical sterility testing industry. According to the U.S. FDA, 50 new molecular entities (NMEs) and biologics were approved by Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) in 2024 alone, the trend is expected to accelerate in 2025 due to advancements in personalized medicine, gene therapies, and novel biologics. Each newly launched sterile drug, including injectables, vaccines, and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), requires stringent sterility testing to comply with rigorous regulatory frameworks such as those from the FDA, EMA, and WHO.
The growing complexity and diversity of sterile formulations, driven by innovations in drug delivery systems and biologics, further intensify sterility testing demands. As per the research study, the pipeline of sterile injectable drugs expanded by over 15% year-on-year in 2024, reflecting sustained R&D investment and market entry of novel therapies targeting unmet medical needs. This expansion requires enhanced sterility testing capacity, adoption of rapid microbiological methods, and tailored testing protocols to ensure safety and efficacy.
Furthermore, the U.S. pharmaceutical sterility testing sector is evolving rapidly due to the adoption of innovative technologies. Emerging rapid microbiological methods, such as ATP bioluminescence and PCR, are accelerating contamination detection and shortening product release times. The increased use of automation and robotics enhances testing accuracy while reducing manual errors. In addition, artificial intelligence aids in data analysis and provides predictive insights, improving decision-making processes. These advancements align with stricter FDA and USP requirements, ensuring enhanced safety standards for complex biologics and personalized therapies.
