Bioprocessing technology involves utilizing microbes, living cells, or components of living organisms to synthesize various biological products. This versatile process finds application in producing chemicals, food items, flavors, fuels, and medications, leveraging biocatalysts such as enzymes and microbes.
The primary products associated with bioprocessing technology include biologics safety testing, cell culture, cell expansion, cell line development, flow cytometry, and tangential flow filtration. Biologics safety testing encompasses a series of tests and protocols employed to assess the safety of biological products such as vaccines, gene therapies, and blood products before their approval for human use. These tests evaluate purity, potency, identity, and stability of these products. Bioprocess technology is utilized in antibiotics, biosimilars, recombinant proteins, and various other applications. It finds application across biopharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturing organizations, academic research institutes, the food and feed industry, as well as contract research organizations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the bioprocessing technology market by increasing costs of imported bioreactors, filtration systems, sensors, reagents, and automation equipment used across cell culture, filtration, and safety testing workflows. Biopharmaceutical manufacturing hubs in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces higher capital costs for expanding facilities. These tariffs are raising production expenses and extending project timelines. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing of bioprocessing equipment, regional supplier development, and increased investment in domestic biomanufacturing infrastructure.

The bioprocessing technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $71.39 billion in 2025 to $81.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for biologics production, expansion of biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, increasing adoption of cell culture technologies, rising investment in life sciences research, improved availability of bioprocessing consumables.
The bioprocessing technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $139.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for biosimilars and recombinant proteins, rising adoption of automation in biomanufacturing, expansion of personalized medicine production, growing focus on process optimization, increasing outsourcing to CMOs. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of single-use bioprocessing systems, rising use of automated cell expansion platforms, growing integration of advanced biologics safety testing, expansion of continuous bioprocessing techniques, enhanced focus on scalable biomanufacturing.
The rising incidence of chronic diseases is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the bioprocessing technology market in the future. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that last for at least a year and can impair daily activities, necessitating ongoing medical care. Bioprocessing technologies are crucial for developing therapeutic proteins, polysaccharides, vaccines, and diagnostics essential for treating chronic diseases. Consequently, the growing prevalence of these diseases will drive the expansion of the bioprocessing technology market. For example, the World Health Organization, a United Nations agency based in Switzerland, projected in February 2024 that over 35 million new cancer cases will emerge by 2050, representing a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cases in 2022. Thus, the rising incidence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the bioprocessing technology market.
Major entities in the bioprocessing technology domain are dedicated to developing comprehensive bioprocessing solutions, such as bioprocessing platforms, to meet the increasing demand for enhanced yields and maximize profitability. Bioprocessing platforms encompass technologies and methods tailored for efficient large-scale biological material processing, especially in producing biopharmaceuticals. For instance, WuXi Biologics introduced WuXiUI in October 2023, a high-productivity bioprocessing platform enhancing mammalian cell line productivity and product quality. Utilizing an ultra-intensified intermittent-perfusion fed-batch strategy, WuXiUI achieves 3 to 6-fold productivity increases compared to conventional processes, catering to the need for yield enhancement, cost reduction, and adherence to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in bioprocess development.
In August 2024, Merck KGaA, a science and technology company based in Germany, acquired Mirus Bio for $600 million.
