Good manufacturing practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. Good manufacturing practices cover all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mix-ups and errors. This protects the consumers from purchasing a service which is not effective or even dangerous. GMP regulations address issues which include record keeping, personal qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling.
The main driving factors that foster the growth of the GMP testing service market are rise in applications of GMP testing service in various fields such as pharmaceutical industries, chemical industry, food industry, environmental testing laboratories, and forensic science. In addition, the rise in number of players globally in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector is one of the basic drivers of the GMP testing service. The need to disclose quality assurance parameters is anticipated to be one of the primary surging factor for GMP testing products. Moreover, the need of aseptic and sterile production machineries and spaces is expected to boost the growth of GMP testing service. The demand for GMP testing service is expected to increase with rise in need for innovator drugs and unique medical devices.
In addition, according to U.S Food & Drug Administration in 2019, there were approximately 4,676 manufacturing sites for drugs. There is an increase in the demand for developing new drugs and pharmaceuticals. This boosts the growth of the GMP testing service market. Moreover, for instance, in April 2021, PPD Inc., a leading global contract research organization, announced its plans to expand Good Manufacturing Practice lab in Ireland to enhance its biopharmaceutical testing capabilities. These factors foster the growth of the market.
The development of biosimilars, combination products, and other innovative medicines has increased the demand for specific testing procedures. Furthermore, several biopharmaceutical companies are using bioanalytical testing outsourcing service for drug development and validation of assays at both clinical and preclinical stages, thus supporting the growth of the market. Moreover, generic and branded drug compounds are mostly small molecules. Generic manufacturers have to conduct and submit bioanalytical testing results due to increase in patent expiration. This in turn, drives the adoption of bioanalytical testing for small molecules, which boosts the market growth. Furthermore, rise in number of contract manufacturing units, and increase in need for developing novel devices and drugs propel the growth of the market. For instance, according to an article entitled 'Current perspectives on biosimilars' published in the Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology in July 2019, almost 300 biopharmaceuticals have been patented in the last three decades. Also, in February 2021, according to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, approximately 382 vaccine candidates were in phase III trial. Thus, these aforementioned factors have increased the growth of the market.
For instance, according to Congressional Budget Office 2021, the pharmaceutical business invested &83 billion in research and development. This results in rise the market growth. In addition, academic institutions are also partnering with biopharmaceutical companies to monitor the innovation and acquire expertise in drug discovery and development. The biopharmaceutical companies prefer to outsource manufacturing in markets where they have limited expertise in various stages of value chain, especially towards the end where CDMO’s presence in a particular region gives them access to a vast distribution network as well as knowledge of existing regulatory guidelines. This factor drives the growth of GMP testing service market. Moreover, the Merck’s BioReliance testing service is the leading GMP testing service provider for the development of therapeutics. In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, every product produced for preclinical and clinical studies, as well as for the global pharmaceutical markets, requires testing to demonstrate regulatory guideline compliance. Thus, availability of numerous testing service and surge in usage of testing service due to increase in pharmaceutical production contributes toward the market growth. However, the precise requirement of the regulatory framework concerning GMP outsourced activities is projected to hinder the market growth. In contrast, adoption of GMP testing service in R&D are some of the factors expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the GMP testing service market.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “GMP Testing Service Market," the gmp testing service market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2031.Good manufacturing practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. GMP constitutes the license to operate in pharmaceutical manufacturing and is a core condition worldwide. However, rules and interpretations differ from country to country and change frequently. GMP guidelines are not prescriptive instructions on how to manufacture product. There are series of general principles that must be applied during manufacturing.
