The global single-use bioprocessing connectors market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.99 billion by 2030 and grow at a CAGR of 15.77% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing adoption of single-use bioprocessing assemblies, rising biologics and biosimilar production, and technological advancements in connector designs.
Single-use bioprocessing connectors reduce costs associated with cleaning validation, equipment maintenance, and downtime between production batches. Faster setup times and simplified workflows enhance overall productivity in biologics manufacturing. Hence, the benefits such as reduced cleaning validation, faster turnaround times, and lower risk of cross-contamination have led to an industry shift from traditional stainless-steel bioprocessing to single-use technologies, which has significantly boosted demand for single-use connectors.
Moreover, regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EMA, etc. emphasize contamination control and sterility assurance, boosting demand for high-performance aseptic connectors. Connectors with secure, leak-proof, and closed-system designs are crucial in ensuring sterility. Additionally, the rise of modular bioprocessing facilities and flexible manufacturing requires adaptable single-use bioprocessing connectors that allow quick changeovers.
Furthermore, the expansion of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs/CDMOs) drives the demand for single-use technologies such as connectors. They require flexible and cost-effective solutions like single-use bioprocessing connectors to accommodate diverse client needs and varying batch sizes.
However, extractable & leachable concerns related to single-use bioprocessing connectors may lead to product contamination and reduced drug efficacy or altered stability. Regulatory scrutiny, as agencies like the FDA and EMA require rigorous E&L testing. This factor may limit the use of disposable connectors to a certain extent.
