Tangential flow filtration stands as a key bioprocessing technique primarily applied in downstream processing and extraction. This method facilitates the swift and effective separation and purification of biomolecules, finding extensive use across various biological disciplines such as immunology, protein chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology.
The primary products within tangential flow filtration include reusable systems, single-use systems, and membrane filters. Reusable systems can either undergo cleaning for reuse or be disposed of after a single application. These systems utilize a filter membrane to compel the solution being filtered through its pores. Tangential flow filtration technologies encompass ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and reverse osmosis, catering to various applications like bioprocessing, viral vector purification, vaccine production, among others.
Tariffs are impacting the tangential flow filtration market by increasing costs of imported membrane materials, filtration modules, precision pumps, and automated control systems used in reusable and single-use platforms. Biopharmaceutical manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported filtration components, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs in system assembly and exports. These tariffs are increasing capital and operating costs for manufacturers. However, they are also encouraging regional membrane production, local system assembly, and investment in domestic bioprocessing infrastructure.

This tangential flow filtration market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The tangential flow filtration market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.26 billion in 2025 to $2.5 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, expansion of downstream processing needs, increasing adoption of membrane filtration technologies, rising biologics production volumes, availability of advanced filtration materials.
The tangential flow filtration market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.72 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for gene and cell therapies, rising adoption of single-use bioprocessing systems, expansion of vaccine manufacturing capacity, growing focus on cost-efficient downstream processing, increasing automation in biomanufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of single-use tangential flow filtration systems, rising demand for high-throughput bioprocessing solutions, growing integration of automated filtration platforms, expansion of tff applications in vaccine and gene therapy, enhanced focus on process scalability and efficiency.
Rising research and development (R&D) expenditure across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors is anticipated to drive the expansion of the tangential flow filtration market in the coming years. Within the downstream processing of biopharmaceutical products, tangential flow filtration (TFF) is commonly used for concentration and buffer exchange operations due to its efficiency and scalability. Increased R&D investment supports greater bioprocess development activity, which in turn stimulates demand for advanced filtration technologies. For example, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, the European Union's research and development spending reached USD 408 billion (€381.4 billion) in 2023, reflecting a 6.7 percent increase from USD 382 billion (€357.4 billion) in 2022. Therefore, the continued rise in R&D spending is expected to generate sustained demand for tangential flow filtration over the forecast period.
Major companies in the tangential flow filtration (TFF) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as laboratory-focused TFF cassettes, to improve efficiency and precision in bioprocessing applications. Laboratory-focused tangential flow filtration cassettes are specialized devices used in labs for the TFF process. For example, in September 2024, Sartorius AG, a Germany-based provider of pharmaceutical and laboratory equipment, introduced the Vivaflow SU, a next-generation TFF cassette. This system handles feed volumes ranging from 100 mL to 1,000 mL and is designed for ultrafiltration and diafiltration processes. It simplifies setup with easy-to-use features, requiring no complex settings and being compatible with common laboratory pumps. The environmentally friendly design incorporates eco-friendly materials and uses 30.5% less plastic than previous models, reducing its environmental impact.
In July 2024, Repligen Corporation, a US-based life sciences company specializing in bioprocessing, acquired Tantti Laboratory Inc. for approximately $1.139 billion. This strategic acquisition strengthens Repligen's leadership in bioprocessing technologies and helps meet the increasing demand for efficient purification solutions. Tantti Laboratory Inc., based in Taiwan, provides biotherapies and next-generation biomaterials and is committed to advancing innovative solutions for the future.
