Global Upstream Bioprocessing Market 2023-2030

Global Upstream Bioprocessing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Bioreactors, Cell Culture Products, Filters, Bags and Containers and Others), by Workflow (Media Preparation, Cell Culture and Cell Separation), and by Use Type (Multi-Use and Single-Use), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global upstream bioprocessing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030). An increase in advantage of automated upstream bioprocessing such as improved process control, enhanced product quality, reduced variability, increased throughput and efficiency, and cost savings drive the growth of market. The growing adoption of automated upstream bioprocessing with improved software is the key factor supporting the growth of the market globally.Capturing data directly at the bio production laboratory can help bioprocess engineers improve process understanding, leading to more robust manufacturing processes and accelerated development timelines. Various upstream bioreactors to automate routine product quality and cell culture media analyses. Hence, the market players are also focusing on launching automated Upstream Bioprocessing solutions that further bolster the market growth. For instance, in September 2023, Waters Corp. launched new bioprocess walk-up solutions designed to further simplify biologic sample prep and analysis. By eliminating the need to send bioreactor samples to a central laboratory for analysis, the new solutions make it even easier to accelerate upstream bioprocess. Waters OneLab™ laboratory automation software and new pre-developed analytical workflow allow bioprocess engineers to capture high-quality bioprocess

Segmental Outlook

The global upstream bioprocessing market is segmented on the product, workflow, and use type. Based on the product, the market is sub-segmented into bioreactors, cell culture products, filters, bags and containers and others (bioreactors accessories). Based on the workflow, the market is sub-segmented into media preparation, cell culture and cell separation. Further, on the basis of use type, the market is sub-segmented into multi-use and single-use. Among the workflow, the media preparation sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market owing to the rise in the development of specific media-formulated cell cultures that significantly impact mammalian cell growth and experimental outcomes. Culture media provide a source of energy for cell growth and compounds that regulate cellular processes.

The Cell Culture Products Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Upstream Bioprocessing Market

Among the products, the cell culture products sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global upstream bioprocessing market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing influence of the development of cell lines in the lab that require a medium that supplies the nutrients necessary for cell cultures to survive and proliferate. The growth media also provides the correct osmolality and pH. The manufacture of CAR T-cells has traditionally relied on the use of animal or human serum, that is highly variable and may contain adventitious agents. Serum requires stringent safety testing, screening, and stockpiling of suitable-quality batches, making for a more costly and time-consuming manufacturing process. For instance, in May 2023, Lonza Group Ltd. launched the TheraPEAK® T-VIVO® Cell Culture Medium, a novel chemically defined medium developed to optimize CAR T-cell manufacture. Free from animal-origin components, the medium improves consistency and process control and simplifies regulatory approval for faster time-to-market.
