The global medical device testing services market size is expected to reach $13.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period. Increasing spending in preclinical phase of medical devices coupled with growing trend of outsourcing the services is expected to drive the market growth.
Increasing demand for in-vitro tests is also expected to drive the market as many CROs are developing novel in-vitro methods to replace the traditional methods that require animal testing. Significant advancement in the development and standardization of such novel test methods, particularly for sensitization, cytotoxicity, and irritation, is also likely to boost the market development. There has been a significant rise in preclinical spending for both pharmaceutical and medical devices.
This trend is expected to contribute to the market growth over the next few years. Stringent regulatory standards pertaining to user safety have also fueled the trend of outsourcing medical device testing services. Increasing demand for quality products is expected to further propel the demand by medical device companies, boosting the market growth. There has been a significant consolidation in the CRO space in recent years.
For instance, in October 2017, Sterigenics International LLC acquired Toxikon Europe N.V., the European division of Toxikon Corp., to strengthen its preclinical service portfolio for pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- The biocompatibility testing segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2018 to 2025
- In terms of service, chemistry test segment is expected to witness the fastest growth by 2025

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered. A campaign might start with a highly technical resource, such as an in-depth article, a white paper, or a podcast featuring an engineer delving into the details of a process. That’s the foundation, the substance that earns credibility.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
