Low operational cost accompanied by minor requirement for maintenance and monitoring compared to traditional ones is anticipated to drive industry demand. In addition, low energy consumption coupled with simplicity in culturing of marine microorganism namely algae is likely to propel the industry demand for this system over the several forthcoming years. Single use bioreactor market size is likely to exceed USD 500 million by 2023.
Intense growth potential of biologics industry is likely to offer massive growth avenues to the industry participants over the forecast period. Furthermore, lack of availability of sterilized sensors is anticipated to hider the industry growth. Low volume capacity of these systems is likely to challenge the industry demand for bioreactors from 2016 to 2023.
The bioreactor market can be segmented on the basis of product, molecule, cell, technology and end use. On the basis of product type it can be segregated as recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies. Based on cell type, the industry can be segmented into bacteria, mammalian cells as well as yeast. Mammalian cells are anticipated to be the fastest and largest growing in the industry. The spur can be subjected to higher effectiveness of biomolecules exhibited by mammalian cells.
Vendors are anticipated to expand the range of options offered along with the flexibility of systems, facilitating users to experiment with different amalgamations of bioprocessing components. Proliferating R&D through commercial production and pilot-scale, mixing & matching systems in order to find the best solution for a particular application is expected to fuel the industry over the several upcoming years.
Bioreactors that contain disposable bags are proficiently used in the medical sector instead of the ones with culture vessel made of glass or stainless steel. As pharmaceutical companies manufacture diverse drugs using the same facility without negotiating the quality of the product produced and thus operates in various successive batches. For such scenarios, the disposable bioreactors are the preferred ones. As these reactors does not require any additional sterilization or cleaning work.
