Global Continuous Bioprocessing Market Industry Overview
Introduction of Continuous Bioprocessing
The global continuous bioprocessing market was valued at $250.1 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1,639.1 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 20.68% between 2023 and 2033. The global continuous bioprocessing market is primarily driven by the key objective of intensifying biopharmaceutical production by increasing yield, flexibility, productivity, and product consistency while reducing overall manufacturing costs. The advent of a continuous bioprocessing approach to delivering consistent products has attained significant traction in recent years. While continuous upstream bioprocessing has been around and adapted, today, continuous efforts are underway to integrate downstream bioprocessing into continuous operation.
Market Introduction
The global continuous bioprocessing market is in a nascent stage and exhibits a fragmented landscape owing to the individual influence of both large and emerging players. Large, mid-sized, and emerging companies are actively developing and implementing continuous bioprocessing solutions. While large companies have a notable presence, the landscape is diverse, with various participants, such as Technic, Univercells Technologies, OmniBRx Biotechnologies, and others, contributing to its progress. Another example of Danaher Corporation's acquisition of Cytiva and Pall Lifesciences is among the most noteworthy merger and acquisition deals in the bioprocessing industry. Cytiva, a global leader in the bioprocessing industry, added scaled and differentiated business in upstream consumables and equipment and process chromatography.
Industrial Impact
According to BioPlan’s 18th Annual Report survey, over 40% of respondents reported continuous upstream processing as the second most common system to be evaluated within 2024 in the bioprocessing industry. While the adoption of continuous bioprocessing in approved commercial production has remained limited so far, increased interest from key players to address the challenges involved in the adoption of continuous bioprocessing methods in manufacturing has steered market growth. Some early adopters of continuous bioprocessing include Alvotech, Amgen, BiosanaPharma, Boehringer Ingelheim, Enzene, Genzyme, Transcenta Holdings, Just Biotherapeutics, Novartis, Pfizer, and others.
