Global Sterile Tubing Welder Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Mode (Automatic and Manual), By Application (Blood Processing, Diagnostic Laboratories, Biopharmaceutical, and Others), By End Use, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028

The Global Sterile Tubing Welder Market size is expected to reach $2.9 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

A sterile tubing welder is used to join two thermoplastic tubes of equal length, forming an aseptic link between them. A functioning closed system is created by welding together two comparable tube modules that are firmly inserted into the tube clamp assembly. This device is extensively used in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, blood banks, diagnostic labs, etc. to synthesize DNA cells and blood plasma for various medical treatments. The biological sample is moved to the tube that is completely sealed before being sent to the labs for additional testing.

To create an aseptic connection between the two lengths of complementary thermoplastic tubing, sterile tubing welders were built. Two ends of tubing from the same module are firmly inserted into the tube clamp mechanism as part of the welding process configuration. Sterile tubing welders make connections quickly and safely while maintaining a functionally closed system, whether dry tubing or wet tubing is being attached.

Cross-contamination is limited because each wafer is thrown after a single-use. A functionally closed system is maintained by the ideal sterile welder. The welders can be applied to blood bag type tubing in blood banks or blood center applications. Applications involving bigger bore tubes in biotechnology require welders. The sample is placed in or added right into a sterile tube, which must then be tightly closed before being transported to a lab for analysis. Only trained persons may utilize sterile tubing welders in hospitals, clinics, and blood bank laboratories; this is a key impediment to the market's expansion.

One of the most secure and adaptable methods to fulfill those requirements is thermal tube fusing, which makes use of well-known heat sterilization technology. Pre-sterilized assemblies can be connected using the already-existing thermoplastic tubing, saving money on additional, pricy sterile connections and clamping-off operations. There are crucial considerations that might aid in choosing the best equipment when a sterile tube welder is utilized in pharmaceutical processes. The tubing quality must be made of thermal polymers that can be welded together under heat impact and have high bonding properties to make a thermal hose connection.

COVID-19

The pandemic is expected to have an overall negative impact on practically every industry. The manufacturing of many products came to a halt during the pandemic in 2020, but the pharmaceutical sector led the way in developing its capabilities. Numerous technological developments and the investment in equipment to support quicker turnaround times were seen following the same. The automated sterile tubing welders also contributed to this and have since recovered their y-o-y growth rate. In fact, after the pandemic, several new biopharmaceutical research centers are anticipated to be built in several nations, including Sweden, the Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, and others.

Market Growth Factors

Rising Global Blood Transfusions

Safe blood transfusions can save lives and improve health, but many patients don't have access to them quickly. Each nation's national health care policy and architecture must include the provision of safe, sufficient blood. In order to coordinate all activities associated with blood collection, screening, processing, storage, and distribution, WHO recommends that national blood supply networks be well organized and integrated. To encourage uniform application of standards and stability in the safety and quality of blood and blood products, the national blood system should be managed by a national blood policy and legislative framework. Worldwide, 118.54 million blood donations are made.

Increasing Medical Expenditure

The rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure of various nations throughout the world is one of the key factors promoting the growth of the sterile tubing welder market. Governments around the world are putting more effort and money into their countries' healthcare infrastructure as a result of the rise in health cancers, diseases, and disorders. Additionally, as people's disposable income rises, there is a corresponding rise in demand for cutting-edge and novel treatment modalities. Furthermore, the ongoing pandemic that continues to demand the attention and resources of healthcare systems around the world is forcing the healthcare business to adapt to new problems.

Market Restraining Factors

Government Standards that are Very Strict for Making Sterile Tubing Welders

The diameters of blood bag transfer tubes are not sufficiently defined and controlled by ISO standards for blood bags. Making sterile connections between the large variety of tubes that have developed in the absence of such standards may be challenging due to the lack of uniformity. To verify the TSCD-applicability II's and offer minimal criteria for evaluating the applicability of sterile connections (welds) between different types of tubing. Particularly crucial is the cleanliness of clean environments. According to a pre-approved written routine, they should indeed be maintained frequently and thoroughly. There should be a variety of disinfectants applied wherever possible.

Mode Outlook

Based on Mode, the market is segmented into Automatic and Manual. The automatic segment acquired the hightest revenue share in the sterile tubing welder market in 2021. It is because these welding machines produce better welds and are more user-friendly. Automatic welding machines provide weld speed and time settings without the need for a highly-skilled expert, and the device's substantially greater weld speed outperforms a skilled welder, decreasing the need for human labor.

Application Outlook

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Blood Processing, Diagnostic Laboratories, Biopharmaceutical, and Others. The diagnostic laboratories segment registered a substantial revenue share in the sterile tubing welder market in 2021. It is because two sterilized medical tubes are joined together using sterile tubing welders in laboratories. After synthesizing, drying, and curing, they are typically utilized with plastic or synthetic polymers to ensure that there is no microbiological contamination. It's also known as a heat sealant since it employs microwaves to create sterile seals between linked tubes without the use of adhesive materials.

End Use Outlook

Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Hospitals, Blood Centers, Research Clinics, and Others. The hospital segment garnered the highest revenue share in the sterile tubing welder market in 2021. Due to the rising demand and shorten patient turnaround times, hospitals are implementing advanced technology. To achieve the infection control standard, hospitals have had to review their sterile processing divisions and equipment as a result of the employment of complicated, sophisticated instruments.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. The North America segment acquired the largest revenue share in the sterile tubing welder market in 2021. Some of the key factors influencing the growth of the market in this area include an increase in the frequency of chronic illnesses, recent technical breakthroughs, and a high need for hygienic & sterile settings to prevent contamination. One of the major reasons driving the market expansion is the rising burden of chronic diseases in the United States.
