For instance, in January 2022, HaemaLogiX Ltd partnered with Lonza to manufacture a clinical batch of KappaMab, a monoclonal antibody targeting kappa myeloma antigen-demonstrating the role of SUBs in advanced drug development. Additionally, the rapid adoption of biologics, government funding for biologics research, and increased focus on personalized medicine are fostering demand for SUBs across global pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors. Their benefits, including reduced contamination risk, shorter turnaround times, and minimal cleaning requirements, make them increasingly indispensable in modern bioprocessing operations.
Key Market Drivers
Surge in Biopharmaceutical Demand and Biosimilar Production
The growing demand for biopharmaceutical products-particularly monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and biosimilars-is a major driver of the single-use bioreactors market. These biologics are increasingly used to treat chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders due to their targeted therapeutic effects and lower side effect profiles. SUBs offer a flexible and efficient production solution, reducing the need for time-consuming cleaning and sterilization compared to stainless-steel systems.
Supportive regulatory environments and rising public investment in biologics research are accelerating this shift. For instance, as of March 2024, the U.S. National Institutes of Health allocated USD 47.6 billion in funding, emphasizing biologics and biosimilar development. Similarly, the European Medicines Agency approved a notable number of monoclonal antibodies in 2023. These advancements, alongside favorable government policies, are promoting the adoption of SUBs to meet the evolving demands of large-scale and cost-effective biomanufacturing.
Key Market Trends
Integration of Digital Technologies in Bioprocessing
The integration of digital tools such as IoT, AI, and machine learning into SUB platforms is revolutionizing biomanufacturing practices. These technologies enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and advanced process control-enhancing efficiency, product quality, and compliance.
Referred to as Bioprocessing 4.0, this evolution is being actively supported by regulatory agencies. For example, the U.S. FDA is encouraging the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies to boost production resilience and safety. As a result, biopharmaceutical firms are increasingly investing in digitalized SUB systems, enabling smarter, faster, and more agile production processes. This synergy between single-use bioreactor platforms and digital transformation is expected to drive sustained improvements in scalability, traceability, and operational performance in the bioprocessing sector.
