What is the Forecasted Market Size and CAGR for the Small-Scale Bioreactors Market?
The small-scale bioreactors market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for small-scale bioreactors is anticipated to flourish significantly in the forthcoming years, with the projection reaching "$4.4 billion in 2029 with an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%.
The predicted expansion during this forecast period is said to be driven by a burgeoning biopharmaceutical pipeline, a rising trend in regenerative medicine, growth of contract development and manufacturing organizations (cdmos), advances in microbial fermentation, as well as increasing demand for flexible manufacturing alternatives. Other key trends expected for this period include a growing demand for personalized medicine, an increased focus on cell and gene therapies, a focus on flexibility and scalability, the incorporation of sophisticated monitoring and control systems, along with the upsurge in bioproduction outsourcing.
What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Small-Scale Bioreactors Market?
The small-scale bioreactors market is anticipated to experience substantial growth due to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are health conditions that persist for at least three months and can progressively worsen over time. These bioreactors are invaluable in the progression and fine-tuning of processes, and hence are majorly utilized in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical research to aid in the treatment of numerous chronic illnesses. For example, in January 2023, the National Library of Medicine, a US-based entity, projected that the count of individuals in the US over the age of 50 with a minimum of one chronic ailment would escalate to 142.66 million by 2050. Consequently, the increasing occurrence of chronic diseases stimulates the growth of the small-scale bioreactors market.
