The global single-use bioprocessing connectors market is valued at approximately USD 1.09 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The rising adoption of single-use systems (SUS) in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, the increasing demand for biologics and biosimilars, and technological advancements in aseptic processing are the primary drivers of this market’s expansion. The transition from traditional stainless-steel bioprocessing systems to single-use technologies (SUT) has revolutionized biopharmaceutical manufacturing by improving flexibility, reducing contamination risks, and enhancing scalability.
As the biopharmaceutical sector continues to witness exponential growth, the demand for sterile and contamination-free fluid handling has surged. The increased production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), vaccines, and cell & gene therapies has necessitated the adoption of single-use bioprocessing connectors. These components play a crucial role in sterile fluid transfer, ensuring seamless integration into upstream and downstream processing while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. For instance, companies such as Merck KGaA and Sartorius AG have introduced genderless aseptic connectors to simplify fluid transfer operations, improving operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the adoption of single-use technologies, as biopharmaceutical manufacturers required rapid scale-up capabilities to meet global vaccine demand. The need for high-speed manufacturing of biologics led to increased reliance on single-use bioprocessing connectors, reducing cleaning and sterilization requirements associated with stainless steel systems. Companies such as Thermo Fisher Scientific and Danaher expanded their manufacturing capacities to support the surge in demand for SUS-based vaccine production.
Regionally, North America dominates the single-use bioprocessing connectors market, accounting for the largest revenue share in 2023. The presence of major biopharmaceutical manufacturers, strong regulatory frameworks, and high R&D investments are key growth drivers in the region. Asia-Pacific (APAC), on the other hand, is anticipated to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by increasing investments in biologics, rising biomanufacturing infrastructure, and favorable government initiatives in countries such as China, India, and Japan.
