Traditional stainless-steel systems often require time-consuming cleaning and validation between batches, leading to significant downtime and resource allocation. In contrast, single-use systems offer a streamlined approach, eliminating the need for extensive cleaning procedures by employing disposable components. This feature enables manufacturers to accelerate product substitutions and process transitions, maximizing equipment utilization and overall production throughput.

"Upstream bioprocessing segment is projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period"
Based on workflow, the single-use bioprocessing market is segmented into upstream and downstream bioprocessing. In 2024, the upstream bioprocessing segment held the largest share of the single-use bioprocessing market. It involves a series of preparatory steps for fermenting cell lines, which can be executed through various methods, such as perfusion or fed-batch. This biotechnological process covers multiple stages, including the proper storage of microorganisms, cell isolation, and cultivation until the final harvest. Additionally, the segmental growth can be attributed to the escalating use of single-use bioprocessing for biopharmaceutical formulation.
"Pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment accounted for the largest share in 2024"
In 2024, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment accounted for the largest share by end user in the global single-use bioprocessing market. Single-use equipment decreases cross-product/batch contamination risks, increases product integrity, reduces downtime, lowers cleaning costs, decreases facility setup expenses, provides a smaller manufacturing footprint, and improves facility flexibility and adaptability. These advantages bolster the adoption of single-use bioprocessing products in pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical companies. The widespread use of single-use bioprocessing equipment and consumables in established and developed markets, such as North America and Europe, has supported market growth.
"US dominated the North American single-use bioprocessing market in 2024"
The US is the world's largest biopharmaceutical market and a leader in biopharmaceutical research/investments. The demand for single-use bioprocessing products is expected to grow over the coming years, driven by the increasing focus on biopharmaceuticals and the need for safe & high-quality products in the healthcare industry. It has a highly advanced market in terms of R&D due to the improved healthcare infrastructure, strong government initiatives supporting biotechnology research and advanced manufacturing, and substantial private funding directed toward innovative bioprocessing technologies. This helps develop innovative and advanced technologies for research. Pharmaceutical companies are actively participating in the development of biologics and biosimilars and increasingly utilizing single-use bioprocessing, which offers less turnaround time, has low installation costs, and is energy-efficient. These factors support the growth of the single-use bioprocessing market across the country.
