Increasing Biopharmaceutical Pipeline
The growing global biopharmaceutical pipeline, particularly in regions such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and cell and gene therapies, is a major driver of growth for single-use bioreactors. Biologics are becoming increasingly essential in the treatment of chronic diseases, such as cancer & autoimmune disorders. Increased demand requires efficient, flexible, and scalable manufacturing solutions, which single-use bioreactors easily meet by minimizing the time and expense associated with cleaning and sterilization, thereby speeding up drug development and manufacture.
Cost-efficiency and Operational Flexibility
Single-use bioreactors offer significant cost reduction and operational flexibility compared to conventional stainless-steel systems. They eliminate the need for expensive cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) operations, resulting in savings on water, energy, labor, and downtime between batches. This enables faster changeovers and higher throughput, which is especially valuable for CMOs and smaller biotech companies working with varied product portfolios and different batch sizes. Research indicates that single-use systems have the potential to deliver more than 60% cost savings compared to fixed-asset stainless steel bioreactors, based on lower lifetime operating expenses and higher uptime.
Rise of Personalized Medicine
The emerging trend towards precision therapies & personalized medicine offers a huge opportunity to the single-use bioreactor market. These therapies generally have smaller, more flexible batch sizes and shorter cycle times, for which single-use bioreactors are well-suited. Personalized medicine is anticipated to grow significantly, leading to an increasing need for highly flexible manufacturing platforms. The fact that SUBs can be easily switched from one cell line and product to another with little cross-contamination risk is perfect for the highly heterogeneous and often small-batch process of producing personalized medicines.
Improvements in Cell and Gene Therapy Production
The fast growth and innovation in the cell and gene therapy market are generating tremendous opportunities for single-use bioreactors. These advanced treatments, which often involve sensitive cell cultures, greatly benefit from the aseptic and contamination-control attributes of single-use systems. The global cell & gene therapy market is seeing heavy investments and clinical trials. For instance, more than 700 cell and gene therapy trials were active in 2023, increasing the need for flexible and scalable bioreactors. The fact that SUBs can be scaled up from research to clinical & commercial manufacturing levels, accommodating sensitive biological materials, positions them as key players in producing these innovative treatments economically and safely.
