The Single-use Bioreactors Market is Projected to Reach $10.3 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.8% During 2023–2030, Says Meticulous Research®. Single-use bioreactors allow processors to implement disposable technology, such as single-use bags, in manufacturing upstream processes previously reserved for stainless steel equipment. These bioreactors are preferred over traditional stainless steel as autoclaving a traditional bioreactor can become a lengthy, costly, and inconsistent endeavor for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. However, single-use or disposable bioreactors utilize pre-sterilized bioprocess bags as they greatly reduce the additional costs and time of sterilization. Featuring fewer moving parts than traditional bioreactors, single-use bioreactors are less expensive to maintain on the mechanical end and hence widely used by biopharma customers.
The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the booming biopharmaceutical market, the growing adoption of disposable technologies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, capacity expansions of biopharmaceutical plants, rising pharmaceutical R&D expenditures, the growing adoption of biosimilars, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Moreover, emerging economies and the rising adoption of personalized medicine and cell and gene therapies provide opportunities for the players in this market.
