Single Use Bioreactors Market Overview and Definition

Global single use bioreactors market witnessed a market value of USD 3.8 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 10.2 billion in 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3% between 2023 and 2032.The single use bioreactors market refers to the global market for bioreactors that are designed for single use, meaning they are disposed of after a single use. These bioreactors are used for the production of biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other biologics. Single use bioreactors offer several advantages over traditional stainless steel bioreactors, including lower capital costs, reduced cleaning and validation requirements, and increased flexibility.

The single use bioreactors market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals, the rising adoption of single use technologies, and the need for more efficient and cost-effective bioprocessing solutions. The market can be segmented based on product type, cell type, application, and geography.

The product type segment includes stirred tank bioreactors, wave-induced motion bioreactors, and others. The cell type segment includes mammalian cells, bacteria, yeast, and others. The application segment includes biopharmaceutical production, vaccine production, contract research and manufacturing, and others. Geographically, the market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

The key players in the single use bioreactors market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Sartorius AG, GE Healthcare, Merck KGaA, Danaher Corporation, and Eppendorf AG. These companies offer a range of single use bioreactor products and services for various applications and industries.

The single use bioreactors market is highly competitive, with several large and small players offering a range of products and services. The market is characterized by the presence of several established players as well as new entrants. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the use of disposable technologies in bioprocessing, which is expected to drive the growth of the single use bioreactors market.

A single-use bioreactor or a disposable bioreactor is a bioreactor with a disposable bag instead of a culture vessel in which the lining in contact with the cell culture is plastic, and this lining is encased within a more permanent structure.

The utilization of SUBs holds several advantages over its conventional alternatives such as low initial capital, lower downtimes, high batch output. and as a result are replacing them. Also, these do not require cleaning or sterilization and can be disposed and replaced by new bags. This lowers the chances of cross-contamination which makes them more efficient and highly desirable. These are perfectly suitable to produce biopharmaceutical goods due to their high-performance characteristics and are already being deployed for high density cell culture and in the field of mammalian cell culture applications.

The global single use bioreactors market is expected to grow at a more than healthy CAGR in the years to follow.

Single Use Bioreactors Market Drivers

The growth of this market is attributed towards major pertaining factors including the increasing usage of SUBs in the industrial and commercial sectors, rapid adoption of disposable technology in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries and in small companies and startups, increasing biopharmaceutical R&D and government support for them, increasing demand from the medical sector, reduced automation complexity, ease in the cultivation of marine organisms, the growing biologics market, and the technological advancements in SUBs.

Also, SUBs have applications ranging from academic to commercial-scale laboratories, in drug discovery, pharmaceutical, environmental, and life science, for the development of vaccines, antibodies, cell culture, biofuel manufacturing, and numerous others. As per reports, most biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the near future will adopt 100% fully disposables facilities in their operations. This will contribute massively to the growth of the market.

Moreover, SUBs embedded with improved sensors and higher operational flexibility for multi-drug production within less time increase trend toward the production of different drugs, using the same facility, in minimum time and with minimum costs. Consequently, high capacity disposable bioreactors are expected to replace conventional bioreactors in large-scale manufacturing facilities in the upcoming times. Furthermore, growing demand from emerging economies for personalized medicine, biopharmaceuticals, frequent launch of new products, and expected surge in biosimilar production in developed economies are anticiapted to propel the growth of the single-use bioreactor market.

More importantly, in the race to develop a vaccine against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many leading manufacturers of single-use bioreactors are currently working with companies that have a vaccine in development or already in the clinical test phases. This is contributing to the growth of the SUB market at these harsh times but at a lower level.

However, factors such as high capital investment, regular recurring expenses for single-use bioreactors, drop in biologics sales due to the COVID-19 outbreak and high costs involved in proper waste management of the vast amounts of disposables hinder the growth of this market.
