Single Use Bioprocessing Market: Growth and Trends
Biologics has become increasingly popular due to their therapeutic effectiveness, positive safety profiles, and capacity to address a range of disease indications that are otherwise difficult to manage. The effectiveness of these interventions encouraged the stakeholders to enhance the conventional biologics contract manufacturing technology. The need for enhanced productivity and flexibility, improved profitability, and quicker market delivery is further accelerating the shift from conventional stainless-steel equipment to single-use technologies, such as single-use mixers and single-use bioreactors. These disposable technologies have gained acceptance in a relatively brief time frame and have emerged as a crucial resource in the advancement of numerous biotechnological processes.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has driven the biopharmaceutical sector to adopt single-use technology. These single-use bioprocessing technologies reduce the footprint requirement and remove cleaning expenses during the development phase. Moreover, single-use bioprocessing technologies can tackle several issues linked to conventional bioprocessing systems and provide numerous extra advantages, including reduced water and energy use (by approximately 45%), lower capital investment (by 40%), shorter processing time for biologics (by 33%), diminished cross-contamination risk (by 8%), and greater potential for cost savings (by 30-40%).
Currently, numerous single-use bioprocessing firms are involved in developing and producing single-use upstream bioprocessing technologies and tools, including single-use bioreactors, single-use mixers, single-use filters, single-use media bags and containers, single-use sampling systems, and single-use connectors. Additionally, several of these bioprocessing firms are concentrating on adding extra functionalities, such as alert / notification systems, integrated process control sensors, digital process logs, remote supervision capabilities, touchscreen interfaces, and enhanced safety measures, to their proprietary products. The utilization of this single-use technology comes with various challenges, including the risks associated with extractables and leachable, disposal of single-use technology, sterilization / irradiation complications, and possible inconsistencies in the resins. However, due to ongoing sustainability research and other technical developments, we believe that the potential for technology providers in the single-use bioprocessing market is expected to see significant growth throughout the forecast period.
