AUTOMATED CELL PROCESSING SYSTEM MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Recently there has been a rise in the number of cell therapies candidates, driven by numerous developmental breakthroughs in the biotechnology industry. In fact, more than 2,000 cell and gene therapy candidates are currently being investigated for the treatment of a myriad of disease indications. Further, the results of FDA approved therapies demonstrated the vast potential of cellular therapies in the treatment of oncological disorders, rare diseases, and chronic diseases. Thus, this therapeutic modality has garnered considerable attention from players engaged in the healthcare industry in the past few years. However, the conventional cell therapy manufacturing process is labor-intensive and time-consuming which results in high cost of production. Moreover, this manual process of cell therapy manufacturing leads to batch-to-batch variation. Consequently, there is an emerging and pressing need for more sophisticated and time efficient solutions for production.

Over the years, several advanced and innovative automation tools and technologies have been developed. These automated and closed cell processing systems have been demonstrated to hold the potential for significant reduction in the cost associated with the manufacturing of advanced cell therapies. One such automated system, namely GMP-In-A Box, offers several advantages, including increased throughput, decreased idle time between batch runs and reduced manual labor. Owing to such benefits of automation, the cell processing systems market is poised to witness lucrative growth in the coming future.
