The Worldwide Market for Bioreactors: Forecasts to 2019

The Worldwide Market for Bioreactors

The essential equipment needed for bioprocessing is the fermenter or bioreactor. Bioreactors are manufactured vessels or systems that support a biologically active environment, as cells require a very specific environment in which to grow. These bioreactors usually range in size from liters to cubic meters, and are often made of stainless steel for the large scale production of therapeutics. In the biopharmaceutical arena, smaller glass bioreactors usually are intended for research work and process development scale-up. Meanwhile, single use bioreactors, also known as disposable bioreactors, have been finding more extensive research and manufacturing use. Bioreactors can operate as batch, fed batch, or continuous stirred-tank reactor systems.

The Worldwide Market for Bioreactors analyzes the current and potential world markets for bioreactors used generally for research and preclinical development applications, and for the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals.

The cost of production can take on a significant role in the pricing of a biologic. Often, the selection of a bioreactor is a critical manufacturing decision. Selection is often done on a case-by-case basis and depends on production requirements. The industry’s turn to single use bioreactors and related technology comes at a time when bioprocessors look to be flexible with production and to minimize costs. The report looks at significant trends in single use bioreactors.
