Escherichia Coli Testing Market Analysis

The Global Escherichia Coli Testing Market size is estimated at USD 1.47 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.15 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.93% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Escherichia coli are bacterium or germs that are commonly found in the environment, foods in the gut of humans and warm-blooded animals.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the market studied. As per the data from the National Institute of Health published in March 2022, according to evidence-based research and the concepts of antimicrobial stewardship, simultaneous infection of antibiotic-resistant uropathogens in patients with COVID-19 has forced a reconsideration of the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. According to a research article by Ahmed Al-Jabir et al., published in the International Journal of Surgery, July 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, urological procedures delayed or postponed included urinary tract infections, stress incontinence, overactive bladder (OAB), and neurogenic bladder. As urinary tract infection is caused by E. Coli, the diagnosis was delayed during the pandemic which affected the market growth.

Most of the Escherichia coli strains are harmless but some strains such as Shiga toxin-producing E.coli, can cause severe foodborne disease and are mostly transmitted through consumption of undercooked or raw ground meat products, raw milk, and contaminated raw vegetables and sprouts. Symptoms of the diseases caused by Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) include abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, bloody diarrhoea (haemorrhagic colitis), fever and vomiting.

In the case of water treatment plants, Escherichia coli is the test organism for finding out the effectiveness of the effluent disinfection treatment process. According to an article published in the Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases in 2021, Escherichia coli accounts for over 85% of all urinary tract infections. The increasing prevalence of diarrhoea and high government funding are the key factors that drive the growth of the E. coli testing market.

Escherichia Coli Testing Market News

  • In June 2022, Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur developed an enzyme-substrate medium-based E.coli. water testing kit that is highly sensitive and can detect the presence or absence of a single E.coli. in drinking water.
  • In June 2022, researchers at Michigan State University conducted an experiment with Escherichia coli bacteria meant to understand the diversity and effect of the same. The researchers suggest that their experiment shows that benefits derived from initial diversity were soon lost over subsequent generations, suggesting that random mutations are the main driver of evolution in E. coli.
