Speaking along similar lines, bioreactor industry size from monoclonal antibodies was worth more than USD 190 million in 2016 and is expected to grow significantly over the next few years pertaining to its rising application in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease, asthma, leukemia, transplant rejection, breast cancers, and psoriasis.
Monoclonal antibodies accounted for 35% of the bioreactor market share in 2016 and will hold a substantial share by 2024, subject to its use in predictable pharmacokinetics and medical therapeutics.
Stem cells find extensive applications in the disease diagnosis and treatment, and are anticipated to witness a CAGR of 18% over 2017-2024. Of late, medical research institutes have been striving to commercialize stem cells so as to develop an alternative line of treatment at crucial stages of an individual’s life. This factor is expected to fuel bioreactor market from stem cells.
Speaking along similar lines, R&D organizations accounted for more than USD 250 million in bioreactor industry share in 2016 and are expected to grow significantly over the years ahead. This growth can be credited to the efforts of manufacturers and research scientists to innovate and discover novel products for the biopharmaceutical sector. The United States being a developed economy, is heavily involved in funding R&D institutes for the development of innovative products. On these grounds, U.S. bioreactor market size will surpass USD 600 million by 2024. In addition, the increasing number of biotech firms coupled with collaborations between R&D institutes, academic organizations, and venture capital firms will impel regional bioreactor industry.
Bioreactors can be applied to all types of cells, including yeast cells, mammalian cells, and bacterial cells. Yeast cells depict probiotic activity in combination with other probiotic stains, and growing research for manufacturing such probiotic yeasts on an industrial scale will drive bioreactor market from yeast cell, slated to grow at a CAGR of 15% over 2017-2024.
Technologically, wave-induced motion SUB accounted for more than 50% of bioreactor industry, subject to its extensive utilization in modern biotech operations. Subject to the benefits of adequate productivity and improvised flexibility, this segment is forecast to grow at a massive rate over the next seven years.
Biopharmaceutical manufacturers are another vital end-use segment of bioreactor market, having accounted for more than 30% of the revenue share in 2016. Bioreactor industry from biopharmaceutical manufacturers is expected to grow at a remarkable rate, primarily owing to the rise in the number of biopharma products such as antibody drug conjugates (ADC) and antibodies. In addition, an increase in the number of bioprocessing facilities is forecast to drive the business growth, especially in the developed economies of Europe.
Germany held more than 25% of Europe bioreactor market share in 2016, pertaining to the presence of huge biotech firms in the region.
