Continuous Bioprocessing Market Growth & Trends
The global continuous bioprocessing market size is anticipated to reach USD 911.43 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18.63% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The continuous bioprocessing market is driven by the increasing demand for biologics, biosimilars, and advanced therapies such as cell and gene therapies and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). As pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seek higher efficiency, reduced costs, and faster production cycles, continuous bioprocessing has emerged as a key solution. Compared to traditional batch processing, continuous bioprocessing offers higher productivity, better scalability, and improved process control, making it essential for large-scale biologics manufacturing. Additionally, advancements in single-use bioreactors, perfusion-based systems, and process analytical technologies (PAT) are accelerating the adoption of continuous bioprocessing across the industry.
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a major catalyst for the adoption of continuous bioprocessing, as the need for rapid vaccine production, scalable manufacturing, and efficient supply chains intensified. Companies developing mRNA vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and antiviral therapies turned to continuous bioprocessing to meet global demand while maintaining high product quality. The pandemic also highlighted vulnerabilities in traditional batch processing, leading to increased investments in flexible, scalable, and automated continuous biomanufacturing solutions. As a result, post-pandemic, many biopharma companies have continued to invest in continuous bioprocessing technologies, ensuring long-term market growth and resilience in global biomanufacturing.
The increasing collaboration between biopharma companies, CMOs, and regulatory agencies is also driving market growth. Regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EMA have been actively supporting the shift towards continuous manufacturing by providing guidelines, incentives, and faster approval pathways. Moreover, key players are investing heavily in automation, AI-driven process monitoring, and real-time analytics, further optimizing production workflows. The integration of continuous chromatography, inline quality control, and modular bioreactor systems is streamlining biologics manufacturing, reducing variability, and ensuring consistent product quality.
