Single-use systems are items used to manufacture biopharmaceuticals that are discarded after a single use. Single-use systems frequently consist of plastic parts that have undergone gamma irradiation to sterilize and seal them.
In 2021, the market for single-use bioprocessing was worth USD 14.83 billion, and by 2030 it will reach USD 55.78 billion, growing at a 15.86% CAGR during the forecast period.
The rising rate of chronic disorders globally is one of the primary factors boosting the market growth. They are the world’s most fatal killers, responsible for more than 63% of all deaths. The market for single-use bioprocessing will benefit from expanding clinical research activities to understand the potential of biotherapeutics against various disease areas.
Market Dynamics
Drivers
Increased private investments and an expanding presence of supportive government policies are boosting the development of vaccines and biologics by major companies. For instance, China and India have the highest market potential in the Asia Pacific region for single-use bioprocessing systems. The availability of a competent workforce in Asian nations and the steadily expanding geriatric population are boosting market growth.
The rising geriatric population in North America is the cause of the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals and the benefits of single-use bioprocessing. Single-use bioprocessing market expansion is encouraged by benefits like high energy efficiency, low water usage, fewer footprint requirements, lower installation costs, reduced cross-contamination, and quick deployment
.
Restraints
The market for single-use bioprocessing is constrained by issues with extractability related to plastic bag disposal and potential environmental harm. Moreover, a big commercial challenge is the waste management of single-use procedures.
Opportunity
China and India are the two countries in the Asia-Pacific area with the highest potential markets for single-use bioprocessing systems. This is due to favorable government policies, increased private investment, an aging population, a marked increase in outsourcing to developing Asian markets, and skilled labor in these countries. The significant investment in bio-manufacturing infrastructure is also a key factor in these industries’ excellent development potential.
Market Segmentation
By Product
The simple & peripheral elements segment led the market in 2022 with 49.1% of the revenue share. It is due to ongoing product improvements and the growing importance of bioprocessing operations in production. For instance, improvements in the single-use system have compelled engineers of bioprocesses to substitute single-use transfer lines for permanent pipe networks. Market participants can take advantage of untapped market prospects and increase their market positions thanks to the availability of disposable bioprocess bags in various sizes for a range of applications.
By Workflow
In 2022, the upstream bioprocessing segment ruled the market with the highest share of 57.9%. This is due to the ongoing improvements and advances in upstream bioprocessing technology. For instance, cutting-edge technologies like the Ambr 15 micro-bioreactor system from Sartorius AG offer automated experimental setup and sampling in addition to high-throughput upstream process development, efficient cell culture processing, and media & feed optimization.
By End-Use
Manufacturers of biopharmaceuticals ruled the market, with the largest share of 58.1% in 2022. The segment is expanding due to rising contract manufacturing and research services as well as an increase in the commercial success of biologics in recent years. In bioprocessing operations, CROs and CMOs can provide several advantages, including scalability, flexibility, a reduction in the need for internal infrastructure, and dedicated supply channels. These benefits encourage the use of contract services and are projected to have a favorable impact on the sector’s expansion in the near future.
Regional Overview
North America was the market leader, with a revenue share of 34.2% in 2022. It is due to the region’s established pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing sector and extensive R&D efforts. A growing emphasis on vaccine production drives the need for single-use bioprocessing equipment to support local efforts at disease prevention. Furthermore, the Bio-process System Alliance (BPSA) in North America, which aims to advance the adoption of single-use technologies, will drive disposable system sales in the region.
The Asia Pacific region will develop at the fastest rate, 16.71%. Several investments from numerous international corporations have been made in the region’s expanding bioprocessing market. These investments help important businesses establish a regional presence and seize unexplored opportunities.
