Single-Use Bioprocessing Market

Market Overview:

The global single-use bioprocessing market size reached USD 18.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 72.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 15.39% during 2025-2033. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing technological advancements, and rising number of drug approvals and biologics represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Single-use bioprocessing technology is designed for filtration, storage, cell culture, mixing, and purification of biopharmaceutical products for one-time use. It is cost-effective, timesaving, and provides flexibility and hassle-free disposal. It assists in increasing productivity by eliminating complex steps and reduces the risks of cross-contamination among individuals as compared to traditional bioprocessing. Besides this, it is beneficial in reducing energy, media consumption, and carbon footprint and providing a sustainable manufacturing process as compared to steel. It is utilized for the effective production of vaccines, plant cell cultivation, and monoclonal antibodies. As it also reduces the time of staff members for set-up, validation, and documentation, the demand for single-use bioprocessing technology is increasing across the globe.

Single-Use Bioprocessing Market Trends:

Presently, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, cancer, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among the masses across the globe represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing demand for single-use bioprocessing due to the increasing number of drug approvals and biologics around the world is positively influencing the market. Additionally, rising preferences of products manufactured from high-grade polymer materials and plastic composites, as they offer enhanced integral strength, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, various benefits offered by single-use bioprocessing systems, such as lower labor, material, and investment costs, are propelling the growth of the market. In addition to this, the emergence of various technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data solutions in single-use bioprocessing for predicting errors and improving accuracy, is bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing utilization of single-use bioprocessing in media preparation and shipping of biologics while manufacturing pharmaceuticals is offering a favorable market outlook. In line with this, the rising adoption of single-use bioprocessing, as it reduces the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) compared to traditional bioprocessing, is impelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing employment of single-use bioprocessing due to the improving healthcare facilities across the globe is contributing to the growth of the market.
