Analyst Perspective:

When the egg decapper process is performed, the specimen is collected in tubes for further processing. The use of advanced decapping technology in the process industry for specimen collection tubes accelerates the demand for decapping eggs, enhancing overall market growth. Moreover, research and development (R&D) activities in the biopharmaceutical sector are anticipated to increase in the coming years due to the rising demand for fluid handling systems, as these instruments are crucial in dispensing liquid samples in exact quantities, which is expected to boost the demand for decapping system market

Market Overview:

A decapping system is a device that is used to remove the protective caps or lid from the container or vessel. The specific design and mechanism of a decapping system may vary depending on the type of container being used such as vials, tubes, bottles, and jars. A few decapping systems are manual, requiring an operator to remove the caps using specialized tools or equipment. Semi-automated and automated decapping systems are also available in the market.

The growth of the decapping system market is attributed to accelerated demand for vaccine egg decapper in the process industry and innovative product launches by the manufacturers. However, technical errors and repetitive manual tasks associated with the decapping system are restricting the decapping system market growth. In addition, technological advancements for decapping specimen collection tubes are likely to provide opportunities for the decapping system market during the forecast period.

Accelerated Demand for Vaccine Egg Decapper in Process Industry to Drive Decapping System Market Growth

Large quantities of eggs are used in various manufacturing and processing industries, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. These eggs must often be decapped for vaccine production or capsule filling process. Many existing decapping methods and devices are being adopted by the processing industries. The Embrex Vaccine Egg Decapper (VED) from Zoetis is a semi-automated device that removes the tops of embryonated chicken eggs intended for vaccine production. The egg decapper utilizes a proprietary cutting and cleaning system that helps facilitate a clean cut and deposits shells into a waste container assisting in minimizing shell debris. Such mobile devices are ideal for small production and laboratory research facilities. Further, the Embrex egg decapper is specialized in decapping 36 or 42 eggs simultaneously, with a throughput efficiency of 5,000–18,000 eggs per hour with a human-machine interface (HMI) and programmable logic controller (PLC) for full system control. Therefore, once the egg decapper process is performed, the specimen is collected in the tubes for further processing. Such advanced decapping technology in the process industry for specimen collection tubes accelerates the demand for decapping eggs, bolstering the decapping system market growth.
