A single-use bioreactor is a type of bioreactor that features a disposable bag instead of a traditional culture vessel. These bioreactors enable processors to utilize disposable technologies, including single-use bags, in steps that were traditionally reserved for stainless steel equipment.
The primary types of single-use bioreactors include stirred-tank SUBs (Single-Use Bioreactors), wave-induced SUBs, bubble-column SUBs, and other variations. Stirred-tank bioreactor designs, mimicking the functionality of traditional stirred-tank bioreactors, have gained increased market adoption. These bioreactors are employed in the production of various molecules such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, stem cells, and recombinant proteins, involving different cell types like mammalian cells, bacteria, and yeast. The applications of single-use bioreactors encompass research and development, process development, and bioproduction. End-users of these bioreactors include pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs), academic and research institutes, as well as contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).

The single-use bio reactors market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.26 billion in 2024 to $6.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to biopharmaceutical industry growth, rapid bioprocess development, regulatory support, high adoption rates of precision medicine, rise in healthcare infrastructure.
The single-use bio reactors market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine and geneTherapies, growing of biopharmaceutical research and development, rising healthcare spending, increasing focus on research and development. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of sensors and analytics, closed-system design, customization and modularity, artificial intelligence (ai) and automation, hybrid facilities.
The growing demand for pharmaceutical products is anticipated to drive the expansion of the single-use bioreactor market in the coming years. Pharmaceutical products encompass medications or drugs specifically designed to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure diseases or medical conditions in humans or animals. Single-use bioreactors are crucial in pharmaceutical production, particularly in manufacturing biopharmaceuticals like antibodies, vaccines, and gene therapies. For instance, in March 2022, Atradius Collections, a US-based credit management firm, reported that the United States, which represents approximately 45% of the global pharmaceutical market and 22% of global production, experienced strong performance in 2022. The pharmaceutical output and sales grew by 3.2% year-over-year, reflecting the sector's ongoing resilience. Therefore, the increasing demand for pharmaceutical products is fueling the growth of the single-use bioreactor market.
The growth of the single-use bioreactor market is further driven by the rising number of clinical trials. Clinical trials, crucial for assessing new medical treatments, interventions, or drugs, benefit from the advantages offered by single-use bioreactors, including rapid scalability, reduced cross-contamination risk, and shorter setup times. With an increase in registered studies reported by ClinicalTrials.gov, reaching 464,218 in 2023 compared to 399,496 in 2021, the market is poised to capitalize on the dynamic needs of clinical trials, with 31% in the U.S. and 53% in non-U.S. locations contributing to this growth.
Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the single-use bioreactor market. Leading companies are concentrating on launching cutting-edge products to drive market growth. For example, in September 2023, Getinge, a Sweden-based medical technology firm, unveiled the AppliFlex ST GMP, an advanced single-use bioreactor system aimed at facilitating the transition from research to clinical production in cell and gene therapy, as well as mRNA production. This turnkey solution encompasses consumables, verification tools, and GMP-compliant software, making it suitable for both clinical trials and production processes.
Technological advancements play a pivotal role, with companies developing state-of-the-art products such as X-platform bioreactors to stay competitive. Cytiva, a U.S.-based company, introduced X-platform bioreactors in April 2023, catering to single-use upstream bioprocessing needs. Equipped with the Figurate automation solution software, these bioreactors, available in sizes from 50 to 200 liters, aim to improve process efficiency by increasing production capacity, enhancing ergonomics, and streamlining supply chain operations.
In June 2023, Donaldson Company, Inc., a U.S.-based filtration company, acquired Univercells Technologies for $148 million. This acquisition enhances Donaldson's product portfolio, ensuring a comprehensive range of offerings in line with its life sciences strategy. Univercells Technologies, based in Belgium, specializes in single-use bioprocessing and bioreactor products.
