According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Tangential Flow Filtration Market is accounted for $1.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $3.5 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period. Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is an effective approach for biomolecule purification and separation. Tangential flow filtration, also known as cross-flow filtration, is useful in both the upstream processing of cell harvesting and the downstream processing approach utilised in bio-manufacturing. It concentrates and desalts sample solutions in amounts ranging from 10 mL to thousands of litres. It is obtained through massive fractionation of harvest cell suspensions, tiny biomolecules, fermentation broths, and cell lysates.

According to a US-based independent, academic, non-profit research center, Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development’s 2021 report, the global R&D spending by the largest publicly-traded biotech companies grew 13.7% annually, from $4.8 billion in 2001 to $55.0 billion in 2020

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing utilization of tangential flow filtration

Typical tangential flow filtering processes include reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. In concentration and diafiltration techniques, tangential flow filtration is used. It increases a solution's concentration by removing liquids while maintaining the solute molecules. In diafiltration, tiny and giant particles separate, leaving the tinier particles behind without changing the total concentration at the end by washing out the rest of the salt with another buffer. This approach can also be used to reduce the concentration of a solution by washing away the remaining salts with water. Tangential flow filtration's increasing use is thus fuelling the growth of the Tangential Flow Filtration Market during the forecast period.

Restraint:

Requirement of high capital expenditure

High capital expenditure is necessary to construct and establish new manufacturing facilities, which may be difficult or easy to option out by small-scale businesses. Furthermore, the presence of cutting-edge technologies such as centrifugation, direct flow filtration, and pre-coat filtration is expected to hamper the worldwide tangential flow filtration market's expansion. Furthermore, numerous pharmaceutical corporations are constantly outsourcing manufacturing in order to effectively utilise foreign technology, experience, and capacity. As a result, the prices of finished items may rise, stifling market expansion.

Opportunity:

Rising therapeutic applications of recombinant proteins

Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is an immediate and effective technique for biomolecule separation and purification. It is useful in many scientific domains, including immunology, protein chemistry, molecular biology (DNA/RNA/oligonucleotides), biochemistry, and microbiology. TFF has been used to concentrate and desalt proteins and peptides, recover and purify antibodies or recombinant proteins from cell culture medium, and fractionate dilute protein mixtures over the years. Recombinant proteins have received substantial momentum for therapeutic uses as the treatment pattern has shifted towards focused therapy. The biopharmaceutical industry's tendency of commercialising recombinant proteins is projected to drive the growth of the tangential flow filtration market.

Threat:

Stifling competitiveness of market and presence of strict rules

The prevalence of rigorous government laws and regulations in the pharmaceutical business is expected to offer a challenge to the worldwide tangential flow filtration market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the market's presence of well-established and prominent competitors makes it difficult for new entrants to advertise their product offers and novel technology. Furthermore, important competitors in this market offer a wide selection of filtration products and have high levels of brand loyalty from customers, making it even more difficult for new entrants to establish a foothold in the industry.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID 19 pandemic increased the global economic and social cost, prompting governments to increase vaccine development and manufacturing. Tangential flow filtration products are increasingly being used for COVID-19 research. To support downstream processes such as filtration and purification for vaccine development, various filtration techniques and materials are used. Moreover, some biopharmaceutical companies have incorporated several strategies to improve vaccine development and contain the pandemic. The COVID-19 epidemic has also created chances for filter manufacturers to expand their manufacturing facilities. As these filtering goods are utilised in the production of vaccines and other medicinal medications, the mass production of vaccines has favourably influenced the demand for tangential flow filtration products.

The membrane filters segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The membrane filters segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the use of filtering systems in numerous industries, particularly the pharmaceutical industry, is the primary driver of this segment's growth. The segment's expansion is being driven by the ease of access to various types of filters such as PCTE, PVDF, PTFE, and PES. Furthermore, the availability of diverse membrane filtration areas and pore sizes for relevant processes encourages segment expansion.

The microfiltration segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The microfiltration segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the increased use of microfiltration techniques during cell separation procedures. Microfiltration membranes, on the other hand, are used to handle a variety of challenges such as microbial removal, protein separation, and membrane treatment, which is driving the segment's expansion. Furthermore, these membranes are available in a variety of pore diameters ranging from 0.1 to 10 m, which aids in limiting fouling and fractionating suspended particles. These factors will contribute to the segment's growth during the predicted period.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for biologics and medicines, considerable investments from domestic and international firms, and the expansion of CMOs in emerging markets such as China, Japan, and South Korea are all driving to the industry's growth. Furthermore, the focus on treatment modernization, healthcare infrastructure development, and need for low-cost pharmaceuticals would drive the growth of the TFF market in APAC.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increased bioprocessing activities to meet bio-therapeutic demand, increased frequency of chronic diseases and genetic abnormalities, expanding knowledge about treatment safety, and enhanced healthcare settings have all supported regional growth. Furthermore, the presence of a supportive government promotes development.
