[103 Pages Report] Bioprocess containers are single-use flexible container systems that are utilized in the upstream and downstream processes for sterile liquid-handling applications in the biopharmaceutical industry. These containers are employed in the preparation of cell-media and are a cost-effective alternative to conventional stainless-steel systems.
The global bioprocess containers market is expected to reach USD 1,914.6 million by 2023 from USD 913.3 million in 2017, at a CAGR of 13.2%. The base year considered for the study is 2017, and the forecast for the market is provided for the period between 2018 and 2023. Growth in the bioprocess containers market is mainly driven by factors such as the increasing demand for biologics, affordability and sustainability of single-use bioprocess technologies, vaccine production using single-use disposable technologies, and the lower risk of cross-contamination. The booming biopharma industry in emerging countries is also expected to offer a wide range of growth opportunities to players in the market. On the other hand, issues related to leachable and extractables and increasing market consolidation are expected to challenge market growth to a certain extent during the forecast period.
The bioprocess containers market is segmented into 2D bioprocess containers, 3D bioprocess containers, and other containers and accessories. The 2D bioprocess containers segment accounted for the largest share of the bioprocess containers market in 2017 owing to increasing demand for bioprocess containers in biopharmaceutical industries. 2D bioprocess containers are mainly used to speed up the current biopharmaceutical production process and are helpful in storage, fluid management, and media preparation.
Based on application, the bioprocess containers market is segmented into process development, upstream processes, and downstream processes. In 2017, the upstream process segment accounted for the largest share of the bioprocess containers market. Upstream processes make the highest use of bioprocess containers, especially during fermentation, mixing, and culture media processing; due to this, this segment holds the largest market share.
Based on end user, the bioprocess containers market is segmented into biopharmaceutical companies and life science R&D companies. The biopharmaceutical companies’ segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, while the life science R&D companies segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. Biopharmaceutical manufacturing is generally characterized using single-use technologies including bioprocess containers. Bioprocess container systems, due to their cost-effectiveness, have found wide use in biopharmaceutical manufacturing as they can lower the overall cost of production. This is the key factor driving market growth for the biopharmaceutical companies’ segment.
At present, there is a rising demand for low-cost biologic drugs. A major factor driving the biologics market is the rapidly increasing global geriatric population. According to the US Census Bureau, in 2015, an estimated 8.5% (or 617.1 million individuals) of the global population was aged 65 years and older; by 2030, this figure is estimated to reach 22%. In the same year, the aging population accounted for 18.6% of the total population in the US and 18.9% of the total population in Europe. With growth in the aging population across major markets globally, the demand for biopharmaceuticals is expected to increase as the elderly are more prone to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney diseases, stroke, and cancer.
China, India, Japan, Korea, and Brazil are emerging markets for single use bioprocessing systems. These markets lack proper standards and government regulations and thus offer significant growth potential for providers that are unable to meet the stringent regulatory standards in the US and European Union (EU). High investments in bio-manufacturing infrastructures are another key factor responsible for the high-growth potential of these markets. For instance, in November 2014, Amgen announced the opening of a USD 200-million bio-manufacturing facility in Singapore to expand its bio-manufacturing capabilities for monoclonal antibodies. For this facility, Amgen adopted single-use systems in 90% of the plant’s operations.
