Downstream Processing Market: Strategic Insights

Downstream Processing Market Growth Drivers

1. Viral Inactivation Analysis Driving Market Growth: the utilization in viral inactivation analysis is increasing and expected to drive the market growth. As the technological capabilities on the biopharmaceutical production front continue their progress, with trends such as continuous processing and higher monoclonal antibody (mAb) concentrations, it is not surprising that new virus filters have appeared on the market to address the needs of the biopharmaceutical industry.
2. Expansion of CMOs Boosting Downstream Processing Market: The expansion of CMOs is one of the driving forces for the downstream processing market. The market report suggests that manufacturers of biopharmaceuticals are eager to outsource their manufacturing productions to contract manufacturing organizations to shorten the time-to-market and reduce operational costs. This creates an environment to drive up the growth of the global market as more and more CMOs are investing in the downstream processing capability to provide more resources to satisfy the market demands of clients. It is well known that the market growth of the CMO sector is directly reflecting the rise of market share and further driving the trend of the market.
3. High Demand for Biopharmaceuticals Expanding Downstream Processing: Due to the huge requirements in demand for biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, the downstream processing market is expected to expand in the forecast period. The majority of pharmaceutical companies are upgrading their production scale to fulfill the global essential medical demand. In the coming years, downstream processing market size and share are predicted to soar across the globe, due to the development of advanced purification and recovery techniques to nullify side effects from vaccines, antibodies, and other biopharmaceuticals. According to the market reports, companies are more inclined to adopt more efficient downstream processing technology to handle the massive production of biopharmaceuticals.
