Single-use Technology for Biopharmaceuticals Market Size, Share and Analysis by Product Type (Equipment, Consumables), By End-user (Biopharmaceutical Manufacturer, Academic Clinical Research Institutes,Others) and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

In June 2017, Repligen Corporation announced its merger with Spectrum Inc. to expand its product offerings in single-use bioprocessing technology. Initially, the pharmaceutical companies relied on comparatively inflexible, hard-piped equipment, which included large bioreactors and tanks which were more susceptible to contamination requiring a great level of monitoring and control process. Elimination of the risk of contamination is one of the greatest challenge faced by biopharmaceutical companies.

The introduction of single-use technology helped to overcome this challenge and to improve operational efficiency. Single-use technology also referred to as disposables, are intended for single-time use. These objects are commonly made up of polyethylene, polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate, and others. The adoption of single-use technology has enabled pharmaceutical manufacturers to save the cost of production and achieve higher yields.
