Lyophilization or freeze drying is the process in which the water content in the drug sample is frozen, followed by its removal from the sample. In the process of lyophilization, the frozen water content changes directly from solid to vapor without passing through a liquid phase. The process includes three steps: freezing, primary drying (sublimation), and secondary drying (desorption). Pharmaceutical products that undergo lyophilization process include bulk pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical ingredient, protein, collagen, peptide, oligonucleotide, enzymes, and mAbs (Monoclonal Antibody)
Market Dynamics
Key market players are focusing on increasing product launches and approvals, which is expected drive the growth of the market over forecast period. For instance, in May 2019, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new dosage form (50 mg) and two new indications for pembrolizumab available as a lyophilized powder (Keytruda): Non–small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC).
