Single-use Bioprocessing Material Market

Single-use Bioprocessing Material Market Research, 2030

The global single-use bioprocessing material market was valued at $1,319.40 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $6,410.10 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 17.3% from 2021 to 2030. The impact of single-use or disposable equipment in the manufacturing of vaccines and therapeutic proteins has been indelible and wide-ranging. Single-use bioprocessing (SUB) refers to vessels, conduits, and active consumables that come into contact with process fluids once and are then discarded. In its purest sense, SUB replaces stainless steel or glass with plastic. In practice, the single-use philosophy has come to incorporate some products that come in fully-usable form or that bio processors employ for several runs instead of just one. Most of the progress in single-use bio manufacturing has been for upstream processes.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector globally. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in the healthcare facilities. Although, the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was positive for key players in the single-use bioprocessing material market. Many biopharmaceutical companies have rapidly developed vaccines in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Once these development programs pass the trial phases, the clinical and commercial manufacturing platforms largely use the single-use equipment and systems. Since most of the leading COVID-19 vaccine programs use novel approaches, including mRNA, DNA vaccine, and vectors, these platforms are largely built on single-use systems. Single-use systems are flexible and can quickly be put in place at a lower cost than traditional stainless-steel equipment, which has significant investments and no guarantee of longevity for the future. Many leading manufacturers of single-use bioprocessing systems are currently working with companies with a vaccine in development or already in the clinical test phases. This has resulted in rise in the demand for single-use bioprocessing material.

Advancements in the materials incorporated in the construction of single-use bioprocessing products has played a pivotal role in boosting the demand for single-use bioprocessing (SUB) products across the globe, thereby increasing the single-use bioprocessing material market size.

Increased preference for use of high-grade polymer materials in the construction of single-use bioprocessing products has fueled the market growth. In addition, development of advanced materials that can offer integral strength to the single-use bioprocessing products is expected to supplement the market growth. Conversely, existing concerns regarding the large-scale disposal of plastic derivatives used in the SUB products are anticipated to hamper the market growth. Moreover, surge in the incorporation of cost-effective materials in the development of single-use bioprocessing products is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.

The single-use bioprocessing material market in this report is studied on the basis of material, application, and region. On the basis of material, the market is divided by plastic, silicone, and others. By plastic materials, the market is further divided into polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyvinylidene fluoride, and other plastic materials. By application, the market is classified into media bags & containers, tubes, filters, sampling systems, and others. On the basis of region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Segment review

On the basis of material, the plastic single-use bioprocessing material segment currently dominates the global single-use bioprocessing material market and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period. This is due to features of plastics such as low cost, ease of manufacture, versatility, and resistant to the damage caused by water. The adoption toward use of plastic materials in single-use bioprocessing has gained traction considerably, in spite of the emerging biopharmaceutical production concerns pertaining to these materials. Such advantages of plastics will further help single-use bioprocessing material market growth during the analysis period. 

On the basis of application, the media bags and containers segment dominated the global single-use bioprocessing material market share in 2020 and is anticipated to be dominant in the market as they provide a single-use disposable alternative to traditional glass and rigid plastic carboys in a large variety of bioprocess applications. They enhance process reliability as they reduce the risk of cross-contamination from batch to batch and from product to product. They also eliminate the time and expense of clean-in-place (CIP) & sterilization-in-place (SIP) operations, thus optimizing capacity utilization. The expanded application of single-use bags across biomanufacturing processes drives the market for single-use media bags and is expected to continue this trend during the single-use bioprocessing material market forecast.

Region Segment Review

Region wise, North America dominated the market in 2020, owing to surge in demand for biopharmaceuticals owing to growth in geriatric population. The advantages of single-use bioprocessing (such as high energy efficiency, low water usage, less floor space requirement, reduced installation cost, decreased risk of product cross-contamination, and fast implementation) drive the adoption of the North America single-use bioprocessing material market share. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness considerable market growth during the forecast period due to presence of favorable government support, increase in private investments, surge in geriatric population, rise in trend of outsourcing to emerging Asian markets, and existence of skilled workforce in these countries. Moreover, India is expected to grow at high CAGR in Asia-Pacific single-use bioprocessing materials industry.
