Ecotoxicological Studies Industry Overview

The global ecotoxicological studies market size was valued at USD 1,014.5 million in 2021 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during the forecast period. Increasing focus on regulation, safety, and quality, innovations in the pharmaceutical industry, and the entry of new players into the industry are major factors responsible for the lucrative growth of the market. In addition, the stringent regulatory scenarios in developed countries such as the U.S. and Germany are expected to further boost market growth during the assessment period.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant global population used non-biodegradable masks made up of propylene to protect against the virus. These non-biodegradable masks made of nanofibers had a negative impact on soil species, particularly the springtail and the earthworm. The mask's nanofiber inhibits springtail reproduction and growth, decreases intracellular esterase activity in earthworm coelomocytes, and inhibits spermatogenesis in male earthworms. Such actions of non-biodegradable masks are likely to improve the demand for ecotoxicological studies post-pandemic.

Ecotoxicological data is an essential requirement for registration submissions in various industries, including industrial chemicals and agrochemicals. They form the basis of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)/ERA for both veterinary and human pharmaceuticals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the usage of antiviral drugs such as ribavirin, favipiravir, lopinavir, and remdesivir, among others. A study published by NCBI in 2021 reported that wastewater treatment plants are not capable enough of efficiently eliminating these drugs and their metabolites, which is harming aquatic animals. The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in 2022 is anticipated to drive the usage of antiviral medications and further pollute water bodies, which is anticipated to increase demand for ecological studies in the years to come.
