The U.S. organ-on-a-chip market for drug development is projected to grow substantially by 2033, driven by regulatory advancements such as FDA guidance allowing use of non-animal testing methods. However, widespread adoption requires meeting strict operational and regulatory validation criteria for reproducibility, cost, and data compatibility in pharmaceutical workflows.
