The Bioprocess Container Market: Growing the Future

At ALLpaQ, we like to think we have earned our place as the world’s premier producer of plastic bioprocess containers by keeping an eye on the sector and catering for its needs. To an extent, this relies on us knowing what businesses will need before they know it themselves.

We can then plan, design, fabricate, test, validate and manufacture a product to ensure that it’s ready for when the phone rings with the message “I don’t suppose you have…?”

Keeping an Eye on the Future of the Bioprocess Container Market

In order to have a holistic view of our sector, we need to keep an eye on business predictions and this one was particularly welcome. Research was recently published that predicts a massive growth in the bioprocess container marketplace in the next few years.

Transparency Market Research has released a report that states that the global bioprocess container market in 2022 was valued at US$2.9 bn (approx. GB£2.34 bn). This is projected to grow by 11% per year for the foreseeable future – leading to a potential marketplace of US$ 9.3 bn (approx. GB£7.5 bn) by 2033.

Alternative market research indicates that a similar growth will be achieved much earlier, by 2026. Either way, we are riding a wave of increased need – principally in high-quality single-use 2D and 3D bioprocess containers. This offers agile companies like ours a plethora of opportunities.

Why the Bioprocess Container Market is Growing

There are various factors at play here. Certainly, there has been a global increase in demand for biological materials such as cell cultures, media, buffers, vaccines and biosimilars. But, why?

Additional research by Mordor Intelligence indicates some of the key factors driving the growth of the bioprocess container market are:

• The rise of genetically-engineered personalised treatments for chronic conditions such as cancers or immunological disorders.
• An ageing population in The West, more dependent on medical intervention to improve quality of life. 
• The increasing investment and innovation in the development of vaccines and therapies in the post- pandemic world.
• The growing preference for single-use technologies over reusable technologies, due to their cost advantage, minimisation of cross-contamination risks, enhancing flexibility and scalability.

The Future of the Plastic Bioprocess Container Market

The use of plastic bioprocess containers is also expected to experience a significant growth rate over the next few years. We have led the field in adopting plastic as the solution to many of the workflow challenges that the life sciences sector faces.

It is now widely recognised that plastic bioprocess containers offer many benefits, such as:

• They are lighter and easier to handle and transport.
• They have lower initial investment and maintenance costs.
• They can be customised according to the specific needs of the customers.
• They can reduce the cleaning and sterilisation burden.

Challenges our Industry Faces in the Future

As you can see, the outlook for a manufacturer of bioprocess containers such as ourselves is positive and promising. But, as with any business, as well as a wide range of opportunities, there are also challenges we face, for example:

• The increasing competition from existing and new entrants in the market, especially from low-cost manufacturers in developing countries.
• The stringent regulatory requirements and quality standards for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging.
• The evolving customer needs and preferences for bioprocess containers, such as higher quality, reliability, safety, functionality, and sustainability.
• The technological innovations in bioprocess container design, like smart sensors, biodegradable plastics and nanomaterials.
