Increasing Adoption of Single-Use Bioreactors Bolsters Middle East & Africa Bioreactors Market
Various manufacturers are developing single-use bioreactors (SUBs) as they are robust and provide the high performance required for commercial manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. Advantages such as film technologies, stirring mechanisms, bioreactor designs, and sensor systems have contributed toward increasing the adoption of disposable reactors from the lab to the production scale. The single-use bioreactors provide next-generation cell and gene therapies and continuous bioprocessing. The advancements in cell-culture processes have developed higher titers and cell densities, which have facilitated the adoption of SUBs.
Single-use bioreactors reduce the risks of contamination and decrease production turnaround times. In the last few years, the use of single-use bioreactors has increased in modern biopharmaceutical processes owing to their unique ability to enhance flexibility, reduce investment, and limit operational costs. Also, many companies have developed single-use bioreactors for producing a wide range of therapeutics. For instance, in March 2021, Thermo Fischer Scientific launched the 3,000 L and 5,000 L HyPerforma DynaDrive single-use bioreactors.
The reduction in validation time has been one of the essential benefits of single-use bioreactors. The rising adoption of single-use bioreactors for upstream bioprocessing is driving the market growth. For instance, Sartorius AG offers a wide range of single-use bioreactors. The company provides ambr 15 for a 10-15 mL micro bioreactor scale and Biostat STR for 50-2000L. The increasing acceptance of single-use bioreactors for the production of therapeutics is driving the market for bioreactors.
