Global Analytical Standards Market is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.06% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 1.56 billion in 2024 to USD 2.70 billion in 2032. Several factors are driving the growth in the analytical standards market. There is increasing demand for pharmaceuticals and enhanced funding for life science research. Clinical studies are also rising, and the government substantially supports research investments. Concerns over food safety, stringent regulatory requirements, and a thriving biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector contribute significantly to the trend.

Analytical standards are purified compounds used in analytical chemistry to ensure precise, accurate, and consistent measurements. They play an essential role in the food, pharmaceutical, and environmental testing industries for quality control and regulatory compliance. Increasing food safety concerns have been fueled by global contamination incidents and strict regulations driving the demand for analytical standards. The need to correctly detect toxins, pesticides, and adulterants in food products has spurred the innovation of advanced testing methodologies. This trend accelerates the market's growth because key players are investing in quality standards to meet regulatory demands and safeguard public health.

Furthermore, increased investments in research and development activities, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, drive high-quality demand for analytical standards. Research and development activities improve high-tech technologies and new drugs that require precise and reliable analytical methods. Biotechnology companies are improving their capabilities across various applications, such as drug discovery, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. This expansion will require more quality control and validation processes, raising the demand for better analytical standards to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. For instance, in June 2024, QIAGEN N.V. launched 35 new digital PCR Microbial DNA Detection Assays for its QIAcuity platform, thereby widening its capabilities in microbial research. The assays target a broad range of pathogens, such as those causing tropical diseases, STIs, and UTIs. With over 680 targets, QIAGEN addresses public health needs with accurate pathogen detection and helps manage disease outbreaks.

Rising Demand of Analytical Standards in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The increasing complexity of drug molecules has dramatically increased the demand for analytical standards in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical companies rely more on these analytical standards to deliver critical processes such as drug development, quality control, and regulatory compliance. Therefore, these precise measurements and reliable testing methodologies ensure that new drugs meet stringent regulatory requirements. This trend will fuel robust growth in the analytics standards market with high-value revenues as companies are poised to invest in R&D testing capabilities to support innovative drugs. Thus, analytical tests are in higher demand due to the escalation of global drug developments.

To address the rising demand, CDMOs are investing in advanced technologies and enhancing their capabilities by increasing their service offerings to meet the pharmaceutical industry's changing needs. Such strategic adaptation is necessary to sustain innovation and maintain adherence to regulatory standards. For instance, in January 2024, Kindeva Drug Delivery L.P. recently announced a new business unit dedicated to analytical services. It will offer integrated and independent support to pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and medical device companies. Its new advanced laboratory in Minnesota (United States), will serve as the hub for the new services that will enhance the company's global analytical capabilities.

Growing Funding and R&D Investments to Support Market Expansion

Increasing investments in the analytical services industry influence the market's growth as it encourages industries to opt for advanced techniques and technologies. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have greatly increased accuracy and efficiency while reducing testing time. Regulatory pressures are also mounting, requiring adherence to approved analytical standards to ensure compliance and product safety. The trend is most pronounced in the pharmaceutical sector, where new standards have been formed. Furthermore, financial investments help establish new facilities and upgrade existing ones to meet the growing needs of the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. Therefore, increased investment is expected to improve compliance and accuracy in testing, this in turn, will further drive the market’s expansion for analytical standards. In October 2024, Almac Group Limited invested USD 13.87 million to strengthen its global analytical services. Adding advanced equipment and techniques in chromatography, spectroscopy, and biologics will help meet the increasing demand for analytical solutions. This investment enhanced its global market position and supported the analytical standards market by improving services across the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. facilities.

Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences Segment Account for a Significant Share of the Market

The pharmaceuticals and life sciences segment holds significant shares in the analytical standards market, since the demand for precise testing and quality assurance increases for drug development. The analytical standards ensure the dependability of the test results, which is crucial for drug safety and efficacy. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and EMA, mandate strict testing protocols due to the complexity of pharmaceutical formulations. This process requires medical companies to expand their analytical testing services to validate new compounds and biosimilars. Key services that include impurity profiling and stability testing reflect growing demands for quality standards due to increased outsourcing to specialized Contract Research Organizations (CROs).

In October 2024, LGM Pharma, LLC expanded its Analytical Testing Services (ATS) to include endotoxin and rapid sterility testing capabilities at their California, United States facility. The services will help drug developers achieve quicker turnaround times, better quality control, and cost savings. The new PCR-based sterility detection enhances the accuracy and efficiency of high-quality drug products. This expansion consists of a greater emphasis on personalized medicine. Because analytical testing precisely forms the base for targeted therapies, improved patient outcomes also correspond with regulatory requirements. Therefore, the pharmaceuticals and life sciences industries support the market's growth as drug development or targeted therapies depend on analytical test results.

North America Holds Major Market Share

The leading position of North America in the analytical standards market is driven by increased funding for life sciences research, which enhances its capabilities and supports advanced technological innovations. Financial support creates a robust environment for clinical trials. The region accounts for a large share of global research activities. Having more major pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies also fosters the development of advanced analytic techniques backed by healthy government policies that encourage such investment in research and developments, which are crucial requirements for high-quality analytical standards.

In addition, the increasing focus on food safety drives market growth as innovative analytical methods are increasingly adopted to meet stringent regulatory requirements. Therefore, some testing companies in North America are expanding to ensure food safety. For instance, in October 2024, SGS Société Générale de Surveillance SA extended its food safety and quality testing capacity for North American markets by shifting to a new, bigger facility in Fairfield. The move will enable it to expand its testing services on food, pet food, and nutraceuticals. Due to increasing consumer interest in food safety, services like those provided by SGS, including pathogen detection and environmental monitoring, have become critical tools in ensuring product safety and compliance with quality.
