Semiconductor technology accelerates bio-fusion... A trillion-dollar market for organ chips is on the horizon.
Published2023.02.10 09:00The number of animals sacrificed in animal testing in 2021, compiled domestically in 2022, reached 4.88 million, marking an all-time high. As approximately 200 million animals worldwide are sacrificed annually in toxicity testing for cosmetics, chemicals, and other substances, the market for organ-on-chip based on soft lithography, which serves as an alternative, is expected to expand, and growth potential in the related equipment market is anticipated to increase.
