Bioprocess Containers Market Trends

• High development and manufacturing costs of biologics coupled with expiring patents should increase the market growth

Biologics currently account for nearly half of the oncology pharmacology market. Nearly 20 oncology biologic patents are set to expire by 2023. Biologic patent expiry is expected to delay the launch of biosimilars. The application of disposable systems in biosimilar development is expected to increase the demand for bioprocess containers. Thus, drving the market CAGR.

Biologics development, such as gene and cell therapies and therapeutic vaccines, requires high sterility, and biologics are increasingly manufactured with single-use consumables and equipment. All these factors are cumulatively expected to boost the growth of the Bioprocess Containers market. Furthermore, the cost of developing and manufacturing biologics is so high that companies operating in the market are increasingly looking for less expensive technologies than traditional biological manufacturing methods. Several biopharmaceutical manufacturers are incorporating disposable bioprocessing technologies into their development to produce cost-effective products. Thus it led to the expansion of bioprocess containers market revenue.
