The term "mycoplasma" refers to a genus of bacteria usually found in cell culture. These bacteria lack a cell wall more correctly known as mollicutes, making them resistant to widely used antibiotics, such as penicillin. Mycoplasma testing labs is quickly transmitted by droplets during cell culture and can persist in dry form for months. Contamination of mycoplasma is challenging to see with a microscope and requires complex tests to be identified. Contamination may have a profound impact on experimental work. Depending on the species present, mycoplasma organisms may affect cell growth, metabolism, tumorigenicity, and the response to chemotherapy.

As per Market Research Future (MRFR) analysis, the global mycoplasma testing market is estimated to expand significantly over the forecast period. The global mycoplasma testing kit market held a market value of USD 514 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2018 to 2023 (forecast period).

Increasing research and development efforts have resulted in higher revenues for the global market for mycoplasma testing services. Some of the major players on the market are also investing a tremendous amount of money in this market to come up with advanced and better solutions to deliver to their customers.
